In the wake of lockdowns ceasing and people leaving their homes after a long time, there are perceptible changes in how travellers are approaching their globe-trotting adventures. The psychology of travel is also changing, revealing a modern traveller who wants more and better.
THE INTENT OF TRAVEL
As the world opened up, people began abandoning the idea of travelling for the sake of it, instead opting to seek richer and more meaningful experiences. Travel is viewed with greater esteem now-absence makes the heart fonder, after all. In the pandemic's aftermath, travellers are focused on their well-being, with many looking for transformational retreats to recharge themselves emotionally and mentally. Travel has always been about liberation, but that dimension has only become larger as people are no longer restricted and confined to a particular place. And that trend is proven with travellers preferring experiential travel, choosing to explore on their own over guided tours. Similarly, adventure is high on returning travellers' lists: trekking, hiking, scuba diving, and taking in the great outdoors in remote, uncharted terrains are more popular than ever.
In terms of destinations, people are zeroing in on serene nature-based hotspots, moving away from conventional locations as they look to avoid urban excursions. Offbeat destinations like Pantnagar, Leh, and Shillong are popular as they're a far cry from the familiar city sights and sounds people have been constantly surrounded by during the pandemic. And finally, staycations or curated vacations across the country are in demand-personalized vacations are fulfilling travellers' desire to get the most out of their money in places with usually monotonous and repetitive travel experiences.

National Parks Of India
India is blessed with a rich tapestry of biodiversity that is both a natural heritage and a national treasure. The concept of national parks in the country traces back to the late 19th century when the importance of conserving wildlife began to take root in the consciousness of the colonial administration. The first national park in India, Hailey National Park (now known as Rajaji National Park), was established in 1936, marking a historic commitment to wildlife conservation. The post-independence era saw an exponential increase in protected areas, primarily driven by a need to conserve India’s unique flora and fauna threatened by rampant industrialization and urbanization.
