Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Travel within and outside India is now no longer a hassle as it used to be 5-10 years ago. It is possible to take the help of guide books rather than travel agents and make a satisfying experience out of travelling on your own.

What do you like about this subject? It helps young people to be out on their own and take their own decisions. It teaches them about how to live within their means and also brings in an element of humility in their lives.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Make travel and tourism an eco-friendly way of life for young people in India. Urge people to explore their own private space through travel.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject The overall impression is that travel and tourism is environmentally unfriendly. The challenge is to reverse this opinion by deeds and personal example.

I believe your group would benefit by having at least one monastic buff! Apparently the monasteries do not like to answer email requests. I'm 0-for 3
