travelling

The term travel is originated from Old french word travail.Travel is the moment of people.This  is the process of moving from one place to another place by car bus for the for a pleasure is called traveling.                                                          Traveling is the outcome of insatiable curiosity of man for knowing and exploring his environment.It is this curiosity which has been urging bold and imaginative men to undertake extensive travels over land and sea to cha-t different routes and discover different peoples and countries. Thus Columbus underwent horrendous privation to discover the New World.Meghasthenese diabused the Greeks and other Europeans of the superstitious notions they had entertained about the life and achievements of Indians and wrote first hand account of the glorious achievements, life and people of Chandragupta Maurya's times.
                                     Traveling has thus not only liberated people from personal prejudices and superstition, it has also whetted the appetites of scholars to understand and unravel the famous civilizations of the world for the last 2500 years.
                                  Traveling provides the benefit of sightseeing and gives Pleasure to the visitor. In addition, it gives a scope to an individual to have firsthand knowledge of variegated people inhabiting the world. One cannot appreciate the work of art created by master hands unless one visits places and things.
                        The purposes of traveling are different for different people. There are some people who travel for the sake of pleasure. The people that are heavily burdened either at their domestic front or at their offices move too far off places for relieving their worries and anxieties. The poets and writers make a trip to distant places for collection of facts for their Writings. Businessmen also visit various places to enquirer as to whether there are scopes for expansion of their business. It is common for statesmen to visit other countries on a goodwill mission.
                                  Travel educates a person by broadening his outlook. So convinced were the English men of the importance of travelling that tour of the European continent became a compulsory part of the education of English youth who flocked every summer to European countries regaling themselves with the sights of Eiffel Tower and art galleries at Paris, the gladiatorial at Rome, Gothic temples of Italy and boating in a gondola in Venice.
                        Travels and tours by students and Aristocrat went a long way in cross fertilising the cultures of different European nations so much so that a new hybrid European culture sprang up. European Community is a standing monument to the spirit of mutual admiration and mutual concern which the continental towns have been cultivating for many centuries in the past. 
                                                    The vacations and holidays provide the only opportunity to transcend the mechanical and trivial existence of our daily life. Students look forward to vacations anxiously and pester their parents for making train reservations in time to secure reserved seats in overcrowded trains carrying summer rush or puja vacationers.Hill resorts and other tourist spots present a truly international spectacle. People from different States of the Indian subcontinent jostle one another on the narrow paths I of Nainital, on the Mall road of Simla, on the beaches of Kovalam and Goa and in the entertainment-joints of Bombay, Calcutta and Delhi.
              One can see there the traditional dances of the village folk and the latest trendy outfits of the metropolitans. Sometimes chance acquaintance is struck. There is exchange of views and articles. These per­sonal exchanges become culture-bridges at times leading to long lasting friendship.
                        To profit most from the travels, one should obtain a map or a tour-guide of the place he is visiting. This will help the tourist make the best of his time by visiting all the most memorable places in and around the place.One should also avail the oppor­tunity of meeting men of fame to see how the persons look like and what type of life they are leading in which surroundings. Such visits often leave a mark on the minds of the students and have a great inspirational value.
