Tourist VS Traveller

Why Manali Should Be Your Next Mountain Getaway – And Where to Stay for the Best Views

A hill dream – the story of Neelima

Neelima was a Delhi girl who was busy with a corporate job. Every day, her life was tied in a single routine between meetings, emails and traffic. But one day, seeing the cloud out of the office window, she got a thought in her mind – “Now I just want a mountain. I want peace. I want some time for myself.”

And the story of his Manali Yatra started from here.

Start of journey – Delhi to Manali

Neelima quickly chose a long weekend, packed the bag and left for Manali from Delhi. Changing views on the way, roads along the river and the cold wind of the mountains made him realize that he had taken the right decision.

Manali – Where every breath is full of freshness: Manali – Where every breath is full of freshness

As soon as Neelima reached Manali, she was enchanted by seeing the greenery spread all around, snow -covered mountains and flowing Beas river. There was a different comfort in the air here – no noise, no crowd, just peace in the lap of nature.

Where to stay – the most beautiful viewing hideout: Neelima chose a place from which she saw snowy peaks of the Himalayas, snow-covered cedar trees, and the first rays of the sun. It was not a crowded hotel, but a small wooden homestay-a mountain outside the window, and the scent of hot tea inside.

Experiences that do not tied in words: She sat in the local cafe, drinking warm chocolate on a wooden chair. Visited old temples, roamed the streets of Mall Road, and most special – Jogini Falls and Solang Valley’s hike.

But the most memorable moments were when she was just sitting in the balcony of her room, with a book and tea – and the Himalayas in front with all their beauty.

Neelima says: “Manali is not just a travel destination, it is a touching place to the soul. And if you stay in the right place, then every morning looks like a new poem.”

So now it’s your turn …

If you also want to take a break from your busy life like Neelima, want to join yourself again, and want to feel the real mountain peace – then Manali should be your next stop.

What are you…. A tourist or a traveller?

Remember the last time you went for a vacation and now imagine what you do?

This simple reflection will help you to know the difference between a ‘Tourist’ and a ‘Traveller’. Though we often interchangeably use these words for someone who visits a place, there is a profound difference between being a “traveller” and a “tourist“.

To make it simple, it depends on how you want to view the travel experience.

Tourist is usually someone who wants to see famous places, takes some time to relax and visits the main attractions. They design a convenient plan or choose a traditional route. Tourists will completely depend on the information shared by the guides, pre-planned packages. The focus of a tourist mostly remains on the experiences of hotels, restaurants, and popular photos of places. Often due to limited time, they do not get deeply involved in the local life and culture.

So in short if you are visiting a place for leisure and entertainment which involves mostly seeing the place.

Wherein a traveller does little more than just seeing the place. They are tempted to understand, feel and become a part of the place. Travellers will take some unknown paths, discover new places and experience the local culture. A crucial part of their plan is to interact with the local people to deep dive in their lifestyle and traditions. Travellers often prefer to visit lesser-known, unexplored places and sometimes they are flexible in their trips.

They often spend time with local people in a village, cooking with them, and listening to their stories. So travellers seek in-depth experiences and their hunger to gain new knowledge and perspectives becomes the reason for their travels.

So next time when you plan a trip, be mindful to be sometimes a traveller and sometimes a tourist. Then travel will be a part of life to expand your knowledge and perspective. You will not only visit a place but will explore the place in depth, take back some learning about culture and people.

Most importantly the kids will also learn the skill of welcoming new challenges and experiences.

Being a “tourist” gives you the opportunity to enjoy famous and popular places. Becoming a “traveller” gives you the opportunity for self-discovery, immersion in new cultures, and being a part of unique experiences.
