A grab on opportunity for travelers across the nation!
Last year on republic day 2020, Ministry of Tourism announced a campaign to promote tourism activity among the citizens.
‘Dekho Apna Desh’ campaign gives an opportunity, to the travelers all over the nation, to be the ambassador of National Tourism, and as an incentive will fund your travel.
Under this campaign, you are supposed to travel 15 destinations across the country out of your home state in one year.
You need to upload the pictures of these 15 destinations you visited as a proof on the site and you can stand a chance to win the incentives.
To be eligible for the same you need to take the pledge first. You can take the pledge on official website of the ministry of tourism or you can also search for the campaign on your search engine.
Apart from the incentives provided by the government you can also earn by vlogging your travel and taking up paid promotions during the trip. This could easily fund your trip and give you few extra bucks in hands!
The time period for the campaign was one year, which is 2022, but due to ongoing pandemic; may be extended.
Picking only 15 destinations could be very difficult! India offers a variety of destinations from historic, cultural, exotic, nature, landscape, religious and architectural.
Personally if I had to pick 15 destinations as a budding traveler, I would opt for variety bucket list rather a preferable choice. Traveling to new and different destinations can be beneficial in numerous ways. One could connect with locals, get to try new range of food, different wandering ways and the list goes so on.
When I say different wandering ways, it refers to the kinda feist the destination offers. Exploring Ladakh will be completely different experience from exploring Banaras. Not only on the geographical grounds but exclusiveness of destinations as well. Exploring the streets of Banaras with vivid colors of culture and religion is a completely different experience from absorbing the chills and landscape beauty of Ladakh.
So choose wisely, and explore as much as you can! Learn and unlearn things with gaining experience and insight. Absorb the scenic and deep rooted beauty of the place. Unravel the layers of your heart and soul with every new experience!
Traveling is not only about getting those perfect shots for your feed (although it is important to balance the monetary condition) but it is also about finding yourself and losing yourself in-between those experiences.
Happy Travel!
