Offbeat Travelling..!
It is no
wonder that many people love to travel. It is very common, nowadays, for people
to just get away on a vacation trip any time. Some even consider travelling as
part of their routine lifestyle. Perhaps, the reason for its popularity is
because more people have come to realize the benefits of travelling, namely,
travelling sharpens the mind, changes ones perspective, meet new people, discover
and learn new things and so on.
But there is
another way in which one can travel and get the most from it, and that is
Offbeat Travelling. Now, to explain what exactly offbeat travel means, I will
put forth some points, which will be self explanatory, and these are:
- Offbeat
Travel destinations are destinations which are not very popular among regular
travellers
- Usually
offbeat travelling is not to major pilgrimage or shopping destination.
- They
don’t form a part of the tour operator’s itinerary
- One
may not be able to find many accommodation options while travelling offbeat
- It
will include travelling by cycles, horses, walking, in local buses/jeeps and so
on
- \And
this destinations are mainly chosen by the foreign tourist
Offbeat
travelling is mainly for those who possess the character of exploring some
place, tasting the local cuisines, discovering the untold history, and is not
for everyone. It has many benefits apart from those mentioned above.
- One
gets to know the unique culture of the destination, the rituals &
traditions followed in the laid back areas
- The
foodies get to try their hands out in the local eating joints or at some locals
house as not many commercial restaurants are available
- The
home stay can be experienced well while travelling offbeat. Or maybe one can
find themed hotels which depict the local architecture
- When
you travel offbeat, you get to be like the locals, which helps you explore the
destination with more ease and opens up ways to many unknown locations
- These
destinations are usually less crowded, therefore Less Crowd = More Calmness =
Peace
In other
words, Offbeat travel is where one can connect with the destination, one can
travel at his/her own pace and experience the destination the local way.
