Why I love travelling

Travelling = Self confidence + Explore + Discover + Character + Extrovert + Emotions + Talk with Self = Perfect Human

To save money was my passion before travelling becomes my passion. 

I born and brought up in middle class family. I had seen many good and bad days(mostly bad days). Whenever some good moments or happiness would coming (like going for watching movie, going to school, tuition tour, friends outing, etc), I thought about saving money.I never tell at home that I need some money for this, this, this, etc. Due to this nature, I avoided going outside. I became introvert and I was being alone at my teenager age(18–25 age). When I started to earn, I paid education loan back. I only completed my responsibility till age of 26. I had completed my 3 years of career, but my salary was very less because of lack of opportunities in my town. So I became frustrated many times and asked my self what I have did in my life, what is my life, Will I be succeeded in my life or not.

Now I thought about solution, how can I solved this problem. I come to point that to get money, I have to improve my career and should leave my hometown due to lack of opportunities. So finally, I restarted my career in other stream from zero at age of 26 and for that I left my home, hometown and shift to first Pune and then Mumbai. In Mumbai, I have to travel too much by train and I had to make conversation with many people for daily needs. So I learnt many things here like self confidence, be motivated, to do fight to get something in competitive environment or city. This things came to me after leaving my home, shift to new city and doing small amount of travelling in train. 

If you miss train, then your whole schedule will be disturbed. To catch train, i have to fight with public to enter into train. That’s train life in Mumbai.

In starting 2 years in Mumbai, My salary is just okay to survive my self in Mumbai. As I have 2 days off, I mostly avoid for friends trip in this time due to lack of money and I came to my home town every weekend. That travel was also memorable because I have to change 3 train. I never became too fast in my life. I thought in train many times that my life was started to being changed. Whenever any problems I had to face, I always thought that ok, no problem, I can solve this. This attitude came to me. Whenever I frustrated, I visited Marine drive in Mumbai, sit and starred to water of tide and talk with my self. 

Visiting & sting on marine drive to leave frustration over sea

After 2 years in Mumbai, I switched to another company and made 2 switches in 1 year and get 3X hike in 1 year (This happened due to self confidence and ability to fight) and Now I felt that I could start to fulfils my dream. 

I started to make friends in company who loves travelling and small weekend trip. I started to go for trekking, outings, exploring new places, etc… 

I liked to explore new thing on real worlds as well as virtual world (Internet). I tried to explore new things blog, vlog, etc. I came with interest to make my own vlog, blog but I didn’t have writing skill, editing skills, camera skills, not having good phone or camera. But ok… no problem…. What I knew and what I had, started with those skill and resources… I started to going to malls to record video for youtube or make train video while I was on platform. To learn new things about travel blog, vlog, I usually watched travel vlog in free time. Such a way I fall in love with travelling.

Now I came to home in weekend less frequently and I explored new places near Mumbai with friends or now I had also guts to go for solo trip. 

If I tell about my first experience of trekking with friends on Irshalgadh fort in monsoon, then It was amazing experience. We faced many hurdles on trek like very fast rain with wind when we have no place to even standing up on mountain. I can still feel that trekking experience while writing this. When I reached destination, I felt amazing, wonderful, confident (yes…I done it and I feel like water falls full of confidence falls in my heart), etc… This experience inspired me to travel a lot.

So after this experience, I started to find new places and made plan for weekend or long trip. I feel like that it was time when I never enjoyed life or can not do any thing self and for now I had ability to make trip plan my self for friends. This confidence power I built up with help for small small travelling experience. Now I started visited many places for photography or solotrip.

My last trip was to Manali in feb-2021 after lockdown. It was amazing trip. That trip was also solo trip and I joined others for camping. I made new friends and learn new things from them also. 

So about my last 2 years of experience in travelling especially trekking, I like to mention here what is benefits of travelling in our life.

1. People 
   Meeting people from all over the world is the most rewarding part about traveling. The conversations will build knowledge and may lead to bigger opportunities. Networking is becoming a powerful tool and communication is valuable for travellers craving new experiences.
2. Food
   The taste of an authentic dish from a different part of the world is both scary and exhilarating. For me, I enjoy tasting unique foods and some of the best meals I’ve had have been from places I typically would not consider.
   In other side,
   In our gujarati, there is saying like ‘ચાલશે, ફાવશે, ભાવશે’. This describe spirit of let go. If I don’t get this, ok, no problem, I will handle it, If I don’t like taste, ok, no problem, It is for energy not for taste. I developed this type of spirit in me. I will not become sad if I don’t get required things.
3. Exposure
   Exposure to new environments is fulfilling and educational. Traveling takes me out of my comfort zone and it allows me to communicate to natives with different religious beliefs, cultures and ethnicities.

4. Beauty, Nature

The picturesque landscapes enhance every traveller’s experience. I enjoy taking photos and when I travel, I try to capture the natural beauty of the place I am visiting. I like sharing my photos to help bring my story to life and after getting the perfect shot, I quickly turn to my notebook to check another breathtaking site off my bucket list.

5. Chance To Build Character
In my case, I have a nature of more extrovert. Before that I had nature of very much introvert. Even I couldn’t express my feeling to any one. But I can express my feeling, talk with anyone. It gives confidence to our inner soul.

I clearly see difference between what I was and What I am now.

I love travelling now as much as I started my vlog, blog, very seriously. I made account on social media about travelling. I connected with many travellers on social media and continuously I am searching for new places on social media to visit when I get opportunity to visit.

I made following formula from my travelling experience:

Visit to Murud Janjira Fort – The Only Unconquered Fort in Maharashtra

City : Murud, Rajgadh, Maharastra, India
Date : Jan-2020

Nearest Railway Station : CSMT (Mumbai)

Nearest Airport : Mumbai, Maharastra

Fairy(Jetty) : Gateway to Alibaug

Travellers : Manan(Me), Lokesh, Sanket, Devishay, Mohan, Sohaib

Murud Janjira Fort

Experience : 

We had plan to reach at CSMT station, Mumbai around 5:00 a.m. I was not sure whether I would woke up or not because I came at home at 12:30 a.m from Marine drive. But somehow I managed my sleep and got up early around 4:00 a.m. I catch first fast train from Borivali to CSMT via Andheri. 


I put whatsApp status about janzira fort, so my cousin seen that and called around 4:45 a.m. He wished me for birthday and asked about trip. I surprised to get his call for very early in morning. 

5:30 a.m at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminal (CSMT)

I reached there first from Borivali and Lokesh and Sanket reached there after 10-20 minutes. We have called to all other 3 guys and they just replied round and round. So we got out of there to go to Gateway of India by 5:30 a.m by taxi. We reached Gateway of India by 5:50 a.m and stood in queue for tickets of ferry towards Mandava. First ferry was of 6:10 a.m (It is hourly ferry service started from 6:10 a.m). We did not want to miss that otherwise our whole plan might be flop.

(Ticket cost from Gateway of India to Mandava is 125 ₹ for Single trip. Price may vary depends on ferry company.)

   Ship was open roof and we sat on terrace of ship. In pic, we can see Taj Hotel and Gateway of India.

We (Me, Lokesh, Sanket) sat at boat and still they had not reached. So our boat took off without them and I was very excited for this trip. (When I was child, I was very fearing to sit in boat, ship, Now not.) It was around 1.45 hrs journey from Gateway to Mandava to reach. In between way to reach Mandava, experience was amazing, in middle there is nothing surrounding and we could watch only horizon and only water surrounding us. We met very beautiful flying birds on the way and also we have given food by throwing and they catch it and ate (amazing...huaaaa....). We clicked too much photos. 

We can feed to birds.

We reached Mandava around 8:00 a.m. We clicked many photos there as scene was very beautiful there. We didn't know what to next. 

Mandava Ferry Station

We have asked someone and got to know there would direct bus to reach Ali baug and fare was included in ferry ticket price. So reached there and we came to know that bus 🚌 departed just before 5 minutes. So each bus was reserved for each ferry passengers. We had asked rickshaw 🛺 but they need 500 ₹ just to reach Ali baug. We called other friends about their location and they also missed 7:10 a.m ferry. So there is no meaning to wait for them. We waited for around 40 minutes there to wait for next bus. 

So we reached Ali baug by that bus by 9:30 a.m (23 kms). By reaching, we took breakfast and decide to wait for them. Now our friends reached Ali baug, so Lokesh helped to reach breakfast centre for breakfast. 

After breakfast, we went to bus station to ask for next bus for Murud. We(Me and Sanket) came to know that it is not fixed when it would come. Suddenly one taxi driver come to us for Murud. He charged 100 rs per person for Eeco car. That was good. Even bus took 70 rs per person. So we decided to go by taxi 🚕 to reach Murud (54 kms). 

We reached Murud by 11:45 a.m. We reached at ticket window for boat from Murud to Janzira fort as fort was in between of lake(That's why it is hard to won and called only Unconquered fort in Maharastra). One of friend stood in line. After 10 minutes we came to know that ticket windows was going to be closed for 1 hour due to very much rush in that day. So we went for some light breakfast but there was not good food. So we ate chani ber and drunk sugar cane juice. One of our friend still stood in queue. At 12:30 p.m windows opened and took ticket (Cost 70 rs).

From here, we are traveled by local boat service to fort. As fort in between Sea.

We waiting to open ticket counter.

We reached janzira fort around 1:00 p.m and we are given 45 minutes for wander in fort. There were also guide and but we have not taken their help. We wander in that fort and photos are below.

We reached back to Murud around 3:30 p.m. We called our driver to drop back to Ali Baugh. We reached Murud around 5:30 p.m. There was last ferry from Mandava to Gateway of India of 6:10 p.m. There were 3-4 companies that run ferry service. We inquired at all but no next ferry was available. That was also our bad luck that we could not go back by ferry to reach Gateway of India. Now we had only 2 options go via taxi or bus to reach Panvel. Bus time was not fixed and we took taxi and reached panvel by 8:30 p.m. We caught train 🚂 to reach our home station. I reached home Borivali around 11:00 p.m.

That was amazing trip and amazing birthday.

After that, you reach to near art gallery and take lunch there as there is small food shop. And then Visit to Vidhan Soudha as it is open for public between 14:00 to 17:30 (if not interested to visit Vidhan Soudha, you can directly visit to art gallery).
