Question

One of the principal values of travelling is that, it breaks the monotony of life and

work. Life, for most people, is a mad rush from one place to another, from one activity

to another, trying to gather as much as possible.

2. In this process, people tend to forget who they are and what they are. There is no time

to ponder’ and wonder. They tend to forget the values of life. Travelling is a time

when people relax, reflect and ponder. Most people, after a pleasant travel, return

home with a fresh outlook, new zeal and a better determination.

3. Travelling has also a great informative value. It widens the grasp of our knowledge of

geography, different cultures and people etc. For example, when people of Assam visit

South India, they learn a great deal. They come to know about the geographical

features of South India, such as the existence of numerous rivers, coconut groves,

backwaters, spice gardens, rubber plantations, oceans, seas, factories and cities, etc.

4. They also learn many things about the Dravidian culture which characterize the

people’s style of living there. They come to know about their mode of living, social

life, agriculture, worship, beliefs, art forms, etc. Such a visit is bound to enlighten the

visitor and make him/her more appreciative of other cultures.

5. The beauty and the cold of the hills, the charm of the valleys, the chirping of the birds,

the song of the rivers, the howling of animals, pleasant air, quiet places, etc., can heal

many of our mental and physical problems. In the Indian

context, travelling and visiting places have another important value that of

understanding others traditions and cultures.

6. A visit to various parts of India will make us realize that India is a mosaic of cultures,

races and creed and that diversity is the chief hall mark of our land. In this context,

travelling can help national integration and unity to a great extent.

7. Thus, travelling has a tremendous educative, informative and social value. It widens

people’s mental horizon, improves health, adds thrill and relaxation to life, dispels

boredom and helps promote national integration. Therefore, educational tour should

become an integral part of modern education. Travelling also boosts our national

economy and the development of tourism industry.
