#TRAVEL #MOTIVATE #FOLLOW #GETOUTTHERE #INSPIRE
Need a little extra motivation to plan a trip or even
to want to think of a holiday? Well I definitely got my burst of motivation
through something as simple as ‘Following’.
About a year ago a friend asked me to plunge into
the world of perfectly squared photos, little did I know that I would not only
get a chance to satiate my wanderlust
without leaving home but also
to work towards following some great wanderers in their footsteps.
There are definitely a lot more people I am yet to experience
but I would like to thank a few that
pushed me and turned me into an Urban Vagabond.
I definitely hope to get to these places in India in
person but until I get there, I can still satisfy my wanderlust with a single
tap on the screen thanks to these awesome #travelgrammers.
@SIDDHARTHAJOSHI has played a major role in me breaking out of my
corporate cage to explore myself.
Siddhartha Joshi a popular travel blogger, designer
and passionate wanderer from Pune has a visible magic that allows him to
connect with people everywhere he goes.
His Instagram account currently highlights his
ongoing project called ‘Tell me your Dream’ where he meets a new person
everyday and collects their dream.
His personal blog Sid-TheWanderer.com features not only his inspiring stories but
also connects you to his own travel channel on you tube.
@KHANABDOSH 's page allows you to meet the adventurer Karan Dang to experience his indefatigable curiosity and his passion that enables him to interpret his ongoing experiences. Karan’s description of the mountains is one of the
reasons I took my first trek into the Himalayas.
A true mountain lover, there is something about the
way he captures a scene that makes you want to breathe in the fresh air.
Through a brief interaction I had with him he talked
about the obligation and responsibility each traveller must have to keep the nature clean so that our coming generations can enjoy its serenity as well. This
clearly shows his fierce love not only of travel but also of sharing that with others.
@KHATTARROHIT -his life is anything but dull, right from discovering something inexplicable
while walking on a frozen lake to allowing women to explore their adventurous
side; Rohit Khattar is always on the move .
The founder of the Himalayan Explorers club believes
that he is finally doing what he enjoys the most – Leading treks and expeditions.
I am confident that I will one day experience his
energy and love for the mountains as I sign up for the Chadar trek with his
team.
@BACKPACKERHARRY is definitely a snapshot of today’s true Himalayan backpacker.
Harry Dogra’s soul concept is to encourage backpacking and allow
travellers to explore and experience the rich cultural diversity within India
in a very local style.
He passionately talks about the snow-clad peaks, crystal glaciers, rolling
meadows, ski slopes, beautiful valleys, meandering and roaring rivers, gushing
waterfalls, thick forests rich in wildlife, swampy deltas, long coastlines and
magical moonscapes and urges people to step out and explore.
Do visit his travel group TreknTrails.com to discover the backpacker in
you.
@ABHIANDNOW is a perfect mix of a passionate traveller, a poet and an amazing photographer.
Abhinav
Chandel’s poetic words and description of a place forces us to think about a wanderer’s
quest, the bends along the road and the journey.
Based out of McLoed Ganj,he documents his travel
journeys through his blog TheSafarnama.com.
I hope to see him at one of his photo walks
in McLoed Ganj and talk to him about his “bagful of experiences”.
@NEELIMAV is
an (Ex)Software Engineer turned offbeat Travel
enthusiast . A trip to Ladakh a few years ago turned her into a hopeless
and incurable travel addict.
The perfectly selected themes on her Instagram page
range from wild nature trails to glimpses of nomadic travels.
Travel with Neelima as she highlights the perfect
dawn and dusk settings ,waterfalls and snowlines.
It is her blog TravelwithNeelima.com that encourages us to respect what
our country has to offer and I hope to follow her dream of setting foot in all
States and Union Territories of India over the next few years.
