How can travelers ensure they respect the local customs and traditions of the places they visit?
Being a traveller if you are visiting any place in this era of social media please keep in mind that ask permission for taking vedios and pictures of that place and if its prohibited then please don’t click them as for making memories in your phone. Just feel the vibe and respect the tradition.
When did you started your journey as an Traveller?
I used to travel randomly with my friends and one of my friend carried a tripod with him then he suggested me to make vedios for our personal memories . I was fond of vediography and photography since my teenage and then this trigerred my passion more towards travelling.
I used to admire many travel vloggers like ANUNAY SOOD & BRINDA SHARMA then one random day I thought to create a page on INSTAGRAM – GEDI ROUTE SHIMLA on 23.09.2018 & channel on YOUTUBE- GEDI ROUTE SHIMLA then I edited the clips four times and uploaded it on my media platforms then I got positive response which pushed me more towards this and now I am taking it further ahead as my career.

TRAVELERS CAN DO

Travelled areas roads facilities
In less travelled areas roads facilities are poor as compared to tourist heavy regions

– There are fewer big branded outlets for shopping.
But being less travelled area a big advantage is we can see raw and undisturbed culture and nature there.
India’s Diverse Architecture: A Tapestry of Historical and Cultural Evolution
The architecture of different regions in India reflects the rich tapestry of its historical and cultural evolution. For instance, the intricate carvings of temples in South India reflect the influence of Dravidian architecture, while the grandeur of Mughal monuments in North India showcases the Islamic architectural style.
The presence of Buddhist stupas and monasteries in places like SPITI and DHARMASHALA depict India’s ancient spiritual heritage. Each architectural style carries the imprint of the rulers, religions, and cultures that have shaped India over millennia, offering insights into its diverse history and traditions.

Embracing Nature’s Sacredness: Inspiring Conservation through Ethical, Interconnected, and Spiritual Perspectives
When people view nature as sacred, they are more likely to feel a deep connection to it and recognize their responsibility to protect and preserve it for future generations. Philosophically, several arguments support the protection of nature as a sacred duty:
1. Ethical Responsibility
2. Interconnectedness -The belief in the sacredness of nature often emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living beings.
3. Spiritual Fulfillment -For some, experiencing the beauty and wonder of nature is a deeply spiritual experience. Protecting nature is seen as essential for the spiritual well-being of both individuals and communities.
By framing conservation efforts within the context of the sacredness of nature, individuals and communities can find motivation and inspiration to take action to protect the environment.
