Come, Celebrate Nature, Celebrate Life............
Getting up with chirping of birds and slight breeze flowing
from the forest carrying nature’s smell and fresh oxygen, is an experience very
few get to enjoy. Our modern city life has made us so busy that many of us
especially our children have not even experienced the beauty of nature with
which once we used to live and grow. Our life has become so stressed with work
and running around to save time for further work that we have no time left for
our children, our parents and even god. We have computers and they say whole
world has become so small but isn’t it amazing that we don’t even know who our
neighbors are or we get a chance to enjoy those beautiful flowers hanging on
the branch just outside our window. Our culture is entwined around nature and ‘Sanatana’
religion believes that god and nature are one. But we don’t have time to either
enjoy nature or to know god more intimately.
One of the good ways to enjoy your time with your family is
to have a holiday in a wildlife reserve. Be rest assured this wilderness
holiday will be a perfect break for you and your family from the monotonous
daily routine as well as give you enough time to spend together. Nature is the
best healer – you must have heard it so many times but rarely got a chance to
experiment this phrase. Now, plan a trip to any famous or not so famous
wildlife destination like Kanha or Pench national park. Normally tourists
visiting these national parks and Tiger reserves are here for wildlife excursions
on vehicles and this is what even you must have thought. But, here is the
clinch; plan a holiday which is different.
Yes, taking morning safari excursions and planning evenings
for walks, tribal village visits, just sitting under trees and having a chit
chat and other like activities will help you in spending more time with your
family. Or maybe the other way round, use your mornings for walks or at leisure
and evenings for safaris in the national park. This also has an advantage; you
get more time for family and friends and while enjoying the natural heritage of
the tiger reserve. Do some Yoga and meditate under any tree around in the lap
of nature. At the end of your holiday you will see that you have not only
renewed all your family ties but this relaxed holiday time you have spent has
also de-stressed you making you ready to face the hectic life again with improved
energy.
