<p class="MsoNormal">Space tourists undergo rigorous training programs to prepare
themselves for the unique challenges of space travel. The physical and
psychological training involved is extensive, encompassing various aspects that
ensure their readiness for the journey. They engage in simulation exercises,
allowing them to familiarize themselves with the spacecraft's controls and
emergency protocols. Moreover, they undergo g-force exposure training to
prepare their bodies for the intense forces experienced during launch and
re-entry. Additionally, mental preparation plays a crucial role as space
tourists must adapt to the unfamiliar and potentially disorienting environment
of space.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Weightlessness and the awe-inspiring views of Earth:</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the most captivating aspects of space tourism is the
experience of weightlessness, where space tourists float freely in
microgravity. This unique sensation offers an overwhelming feeling of freedom
and weightless movement, creating an unforgettable experience. The views of
Earth from space are equally mesmerizing. Space tourists witness the beauty of
our planet from a vantage point few have ever encountered. They behold the
stunning sight of Earth's delicate blue atmosphere, the vastness of oceans, the
sprawling landmasses, and the absence of visible borders that often separate
nations. The awe-inspiring perspective gained from space fosters a profound
appreciation for the interconnectedness of humanity and the preciousness of our
planet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Mitigating risks associated with space travel:</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Space travel involves inherent risks, and it is crucial to
minimize them to ensure the safety of space tourists. Various risk factors,
including launch failures, re-entry challenges, and potential emergencies
during the mission, need to be addressed. Private space companies employ
stringent safety protocols and engineering practices to mitigate these risks
and enhance the overall safety of the space tourism experience. They prioritize
thorough testing, quality control, and redundancy in critical systems to
minimize the likelihood of accidents or malfunctions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p><b> Medical fitness and health requirements:</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Space tourists must meet specific medical and physical
fitness criteria to qualify for their space journey. Health assessments and
medical examinations are conducted to determine their suitability for space
travel. These evaluations include assessing cardiovascular health, respiratory
function, and overall physical well-being. The aim is to ensure that space
tourists are in good health and can withstand the physical demands and
potential stresses of spaceflight. These requirements help safeguard the
well-being of space tourists during their extraterrestrial adventure.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">

It is a adrenaline rush that starts at planning for vacation and ends when we drop back at our homes. Travel brings out the best in us , it brings out the part that wants to survive inspite of being challenged. It adopts to situations and laughs at silly things in the outdoors.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibt2zF7GB9tmSxZaH0pNWeBWMLCQ853iEuqH74zMXuJUZCSfGCRyW5P8ZgUMsqT-rzlT0GGwPcRLA1odtPWo7MrxYTqHxOWztUCabscnf7id6jyypgH15t90ZliY_gberthWZy7lLLTWIh03A6m8uZq-_wTTJDx1tl3FX_-H2qgdtCV5k5mcfe1ziugQ/s1024/_55508c07-6cef-4d55-9d6b-890b7e1203ed.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="power of trave;" border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibt2zF7GB9tmSxZaH0pNWeBWMLCQ853iEuqH74zMXuJUZCSfGCRyW5P8ZgUMsqT-rzlT0GGwPcRLA1odtPWo7MrxYTqHxOWztUCabscnf7id6jyypgH15t90ZliY_gberthWZy7lLLTWIh03A6m8uZq-_wTTJDx1tl3FX_-H2qgdtCV5k5mcfe1ziugQ/w320-h320/_55508c07-6cef-4d55-9d6b-890b7e1203ed.jpeg" title="Power of Travel" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Power of Travel </b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Discovering amazing culture</span></h4><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> As we set out to travel we shed our limitations to venture into a world filled with possibilities . We feel amazed as we look into things from different perspective and wonder that this can also happen. I was amazed to see disciplined auto-rickshaw Wala in Mumbai that stood in line to take customers. I was amazed at how everything tasted sweet at Mumbai restaurants. We feel amazed at how things can be different and we had a iron box idea of how things should be and travelling just shifts it. it makes us realize that world is beautiful tapestry of traditions.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Make new friends</span></h4><div><span style="font-size: medium;">When you travel to different parts of the world , you can make new friends . You get to meet people with different culture and traditions. You talk to them and share your stories and soon they will share theirs too. We get to learn different things from them. We can laugh together and understand each other even without talking. It is like a big adventure where you can make friends and have fun together.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Personal Growth</span></h3><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Whenever you face situation where you are uncomfortable , you are forced to take decisions that are not normal for you. You may have to try local food which may be the tastiest food that you have eaten in your life. You may be forced to take a route less taken which may have breathtaking views. You face your fears and you build confidence in life.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> When you encounter unexpected situations you find creative solutions. Once I was stranded on my way to Yamunotri. No vehicle will stop for me. Every bus and taxi refused to take me ahead. At that time I asked for a lift from a truck driver which I have never done in my life. It turned out to be a good experience.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Rediscover yourself</span></h4><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Travel is like meditation when you leave the mundane routine of life to connect with yourself again. You see a magnificent mountain or a enormous ocean , it is way bigger than our existence. Experiencing those you just shup up and dive deeper. You gain clarity in your thoughts and you see new dreams in your eyes. You rediscover yourself and come home with a new energy.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>indian travellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10716964347792384899noreply@blogger.com0Delhi, India28.7040592 77.1024901999999910.39382536382115418 41.946240199999991 57.014293036178842 112.25874019999999tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474230619050825512.post-44215236817302395532023-05-28T12:35:00.004-07:002023-05-29T01:06:41.631-07:00Travel destination generator for India

A marvel to visit for those with religious sentiments and scenic beauty for those looking for some adventure trekking. <b>Kedarnath Mandir </b>is famous for pandavs who spotted shiva here when they searched for him after the war. The place is quite cold and the temple is sourrounded by snow capped mountain.The enthusiast can either take a horse to the temple or can walk the entire 14 km route on foot.It is very nice and warm when we start our journey from gauri kund but as we head towards the temple chill starts going stronger.<br />

There is a spring just as we start our expedition which is known as tapt kund. A bath in the kund gives moksha to anyone taking a dip ...as I was told there. A I took a bath there but a lot of sulpur odour was too much for me. We started late for our task as it was already ten o clock in the morning. Many a people had already left at 6 in the morning. We were told that the journey to Kedarnath Mandir would take us only 6 hrs. but to our surprise it took 10 hrs. for us on foot. <br />

As we started our race towards the mountains, people with horses kept pestering us to mount on the equine and lighten our pockets. But we were adamant on going by our own, just 10 minutes had passed that we started panting and sweating. It looked liked that it was a impossible task for us mortals, how could we do it. But sense prevailed on us and we decided to walk for 10 minutes and rest for 5 minutes. The strategy worked for us but instead of resting for 5 minutes we were enjoying for 15 minutes. It took a lot of time and energy to come up to the temple .</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ9CVh6ISOafIpxEwadvWRhTRUWi6Do0IQTy3HLUnzXGJN9ShXk3imotnC3V33hvGy3iDFCosqGD-LmfNYkZsM2SOJu3fvQEZTsB_BeJqupScrW5FVX0oLIjghi3phy05TYR0SVcp9nr9-/s1600/DSCN0193.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ9CVh6ISOafIpxEwadvWRhTRUWi6Do0IQTy3HLUnzXGJN9ShXk3imotnC3V33hvGy3iDFCosqGD-LmfNYkZsM2SOJu3fvQEZTsB_BeJqupScrW5FVX0oLIjghi3phy05TYR0SVcp9nr9-/s320/DSCN0193.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><b><i>Kedarnath -trekking on shaky grounds<br /><br /></i></b></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;">When we arrived at the temple it was 8 pm and pitch dark we had not booked any hotel there so we had to search for it in the dark. It was scary to roam around the place as no one was outside their home. No lights no sound how we managed to get the hotel is another story altogether. We did get to the hotel after a lot of effort but when we finally reached our room it was sigh of relief <br />
We all wake up in the morning with stuffy nose. The room in which we stayed was make up of asbestos sheets. I could feel the cold air blowing outside. I decided to go out and buy a warm cap and a pair of gloves. It was icy cold outside sunlight was making the snow shine more brightly. We went to the bazaar to buy things and the Kedarnath temple was just near the market. In the night we could not see the amazing temple but today it was glowing like a new building. It was a perfect view. <br />
<br />
Me and my sister came back to hotel and ordered everybody to get ready early lest the devotee fill the temple premises. It was ice cold temp in the room how we all could bathe was a ordeal in itself.<br />
All of us got down in our attires and headed towards the bazaar to get prasad. All of us had money to be used as prasad and to donate to the temple ....courtesy our colleague and parents. Any body who heard we were going to Kedarnath gave us money to be offered to the temple.<br />
Our entry to the temple was announced with a bang on the bells. Large bells were hanging outside the temple premises which give this place a divine look. The temple had a old look but it felt refreshing to me. It were as though old stones had been washed to welcome us. The outside of temple had idols of god and goddesses in stone. We were made to make a queue to enter the temple. Pundits who performed pujas were coming to people and asking them to pay some money and go inside without a queue. One man said we have come 14000 feet above sea level on feet ,this queue is nothing before that....pundit went away. It was Hussle and bustle when we went inside the Kedarnath mandir. It was a little dark inside....idols of Yudhister and his brothers were carved inside. The lights inside the mandir were flickering...it would be total dark if this light goes away. The stone inside the temple were slippery and covered with milk and grease like thing. A shiva rock emerged in the centre of the Kedarnath mandir and people were worshipping and doing all kinds of puja in a very closed environment. We too bowed before the God and made our donation to a man who was performing puja. He just took our donation and did not utter a word...no prayer...asked no name ...nothing. It seemed awkward to me .We came out of the temple and soon I started feeling tired. My enthusiasm had been carrying me around but as I had achieved my goal (to visit Kedarnath) was over I started feeling pain. We visited a Shankaracharya temple near the Kedarnath temple. All of us were feeling the fatigue. We decided to take a breakfast so that our downhill journey would be comfortable.<br />

DELHI<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Being my birth place is close to my heart. Such is the historical importance of Delhi that ,it has been mentioned in Mahabharata by the name Indraprastha. It has been captured, plundered and recaptured so many times that history has lost counts. It has been ruled by slave kings, Mughals and British. It is the capital of India,located on the banks of river Yamuna.Mugal king Shahjahan built many marvellous pieces of architecture here as well as the walled city of Delhi.British too changed there capital from Kolkata to Delhi in 1911.</span><br />

One day I had the chance to visit the beautiful Humayun tomb which I had never seen, even when I live in Delhi. I was ready to explore the beautiful building which was the model , on which later Taj Mahal was built. I reached the Humayun tomb by New HOHO bus which is best to travel around Delhi as it circles round all the major tourist points.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
The gate through which I entered was a small one but what lay inside was enormous. As I entered the Tomb area I was greeted by the guard at the ticket counter. On paying up a petty amount of , I was able to take a glimpse into our past. </span></div>

It was a sudden urge to go out from the maddening crowd of Delhi. I decided to be at a hill top next day which was a sunday. I blurted out my plans to my wife and we were ready for another fun packed action. We decided to meet at interstate bus terminal at 3 pm and start our voyage. As usual she was late and I kept waiting for her at the terminal....but she did come and we were off to a bus to visit what is called <b>Mussoorie</b>.<br />

It was very sunny day and till the evening we were basking in sun but my excitement didnot let that ruin my enthu. Bus was running down the road and it was a pleasant evening .It gives me great pleasure to watch fields and villages passing by from the bus. The zipping past of the eucalyptus trees and seeing people work on the field is a experience which is more enjoyable than the place of visit. Jams at the major cities is what I hate but can do little about it.<br />

It was getting late in the evening and according to my calculations we had to reach Dehradun by 9 pm but it was getting darker and darker. The main worry was that we had to find our hotel after alighting from the bus. Bus was going right and left throught the dark and we could not figure out where we had come. We asked the locals travelling with us about the address but they confused us more. I decided to think about our place of stay after we get down from the bus. We did get out of the bus but it was 10.30 at night. It was pitch dark there at the terminal. We searched for a auto-rickshaw and were happy when he said he knew the place. We headed to our destination zooming past the buildings right left and where not. He screeched to holt his richshaw at a gate and said this was the place. We saw the building it was nothing like we had in mind we asked the guard .To our surprise it was 11 pm at night and we were standing beneath a wrong building. The driver had no idea about the place and 20 minutes ago he claimed to know the place. We phoned the hotel and then let the driver had his directions right. It was a nightmare we did not know where the driver was taking us. He was angry with us and now we were sitting in this auto trusting him to take to our rightful destination. To our relief we did reach the place after a long search session thru lanes and pains.<br />
<br />
It was a nice room with nice lighting and comfortable accomodation.But we had come late so no dinner for us. I was prepared for this....coz I had an apple in my luggage.<br />

Next morning we were up early so that we could reach Mussoorie at time. But time was not our side ,we went to bus terminal and waited for bus that never came. We wasted at least 2 hrs there. We met with a lawyer there ..I dont know what to say but he kept talking to me whether we replied or not. He was a local and soon he would comment upon anything I would nod with a smile on my face. He told us that we can take a taxi from railway station if the bus does not come and we headed off to railway station. He came along with us till railway station and he could not shut his mouth even for one minute.<br />
<br />
We reached the railway station and took a cab to Mussoorie .It was a pleasant day but we were late in our mission. We were going round and round thru the mountains ,shifting one side and to other on our seat. A quiet river was flowing along the way and it gave rise to picturesque images.<br />

When we reached the place ,first thing we went looking for was a nice restaurant. It was a beautiful place with minimum furniture and a clean look. We had aloo ka parantha and some sandwich and our stomach was full. We were carrying luggage with us so we thought of getting rid of it. We searched for a circuit house and safely placed our luggage there. Now we were ready to roar and check out the jungle. First we were to head towards the kempty fall so we hired a rickshaw and headed towards the taxi stand. Here you have to book a taxi for whole day...we shared our taxi with a couple .The couple had two sweet kids and both husband/wife were working in govt setup. Again we on the road going up and down the hill. We stopped at a place flooded with taxies and private vehicles. We reached kempty fall and I could see myself bathing in waterfall. It was the best place for us to relax. We dived in the water which was actually quite cold but the feeling of waterfall on our head was quite powerful to resist. We took floating tube and experimented with it. I went underwater swimming .It was just great. We longed to stay longer but we had to go other places too. <br />

It was 2.00 in afternoon and were having hunger pangs. Food at Mussoorie is fresh and lovely unlike at kedarnath which was more of a bland. We had enough food for the day to last. Now we were off to a temple which looked like lotus temple at Delhi.It shined like a moon at the hilltop and we headed towards the moon. It was a new temple made up of sangmarmar stone. It was burning when we went up to it as sunlight turned the white stone into burning amber. Our feet were heated but we could sense the cool breeze touching our skin. It was contrast of some sort.<br />
then we went to a buddhist temple.It was a place where bhikkhus were celebrating the arrival of monsoon and were being gifts from the locals. According to buddhist tradition as monsoon comes bhikku goes into forest and cant come out to homes to get alms. So devotee gifts them food and clothings so they dont have to struggle during rainy season. We rang the buddhist bells there so much fun. <a href="http://buddhawithlove.com/">for more on buddhism</a><br />
<br />
Our last stop was going to be a lake ....I cant remember it's name but it looked artificial to me. We had to go down so many stairs to get there. It was a lake where some kids were boating and rest were eating at local shops there. It was a ok place nothing great.<br />
The driver took us back to the mall road and we were off to some shopping in the evening. We tried some clothes and some decorative pieces there. Then we had a tea with special samosa that was empty inside. We had a good time at Mussoorie and I had won Mussoorie in a single day.<br />

It all started with Jiji my friend planning to take vacation from his hectic job in marketing. He knowing my nature ,invited me to join. I was not the one to turn down the opportunity. It took whole month for Jijimon and Khan to plan our vacation to Manali......I could have done that in one day. (hehehe just pack the bag and go for <b>Manali Trip</b>)</span></div>

Two tickets were ready for me and my wife ,we were going in Volvo. The stage was set to leave Delhi. The morning we had to leave for Manali , Meenu became excited to join us and all three of us were ready to salute Manali. We had to take bus from Chandralok building in CP, we were all on time. Jijimon had come with his sister, Khan with Vinod, Dilip with his wife and Anoop with his family....in all we were a group of eleven. The bus was late and it was getting dark .Simultaneously three buses came there and it was a scene of chaos. Nobody knew which bus to get into, as no staff person was there to guide the passengers.<br />

Everybody was worried what to do except me because I had no ticket.....it was like you don't worry about exam if you have not read. My ticket had been hijacked by my twinkle eyed sister...boo...boo. Both of them got the seat but I was standing alone in the bus. The conductor asked me to pay for the ticket which I joyfully did but when asked about my seat ...he pointed towards the seat along side the driver. My ordeal had started.....help me God.<br />

Next morning we were up again to head towards snow capped mountains. It was very exciting to get ready for skiing at mountains. As the taxi travelled towards the mountain top we were told to rent a costume for cold weather. We hired the attire at the local shop there. It made me look like a bear. It was making my appearance puffier enhancing my already inflated belly.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_6sURANOA9WYdAdqNhki_8CHdGjoiaMTH6zY1gsHqwXZXIBmsf5_I21tTA4nzNt73d_pPwrneGUzn54OZBCn0aXkA3Wg-d6mwQz2bHpdO0MvJFwFu8LjyrJ0FrCuM545Wak5MTI06i0-a/s1600/DSC03611.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="Manali" border="0" height="240" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_6sURANOA9WYdAdqNhki_8CHdGjoiaMTH6zY1gsHqwXZXIBmsf5_I21tTA4nzNt73d_pPwrneGUzn54OZBCn0aXkA3Wg-d6mwQz2bHpdO0MvJFwFu8LjyrJ0FrCuM545Wak5MTI06i0-a/w320-h240/DSC03611.JPG" title="Manali snow" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Manali treks full of snow</span></i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
We reached the hill top and scores of taxies were parked there. Driver halted his taxi and told us to hire horses for our journey ahead. We jumped onto our horses and our fun filled journey marched ahead. Horses were going haywire and stumbling upon the boulders present on the track.<br />
Jiji’s horse was taking his own path and Biji horse was slipping too much. We laughed a lot at that time and proceeded towards the snow filled mountains.<br />
After we reached the snow covered hills we were ready to ski. The skiing path was not very long but it served our purpose. We skied for two hours falling, laughing and entire episode ended with all of us throwing snow balls on each other.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih8eVOgPrugarQEPTOma18Bzd4cH7w0fHrAMprVgP-2O84fTxAJX_ZnECeaMiDwYyQemZrLSBsShRHLQqsg0pXZnbP_HYJkw_1K4VwhaH44aa_PwdPZsJWQzmGD5nZz1upHn7_cLkJvqTV/s1600/DSC03775.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih8eVOgPrugarQEPTOma18Bzd4cH7w0fHrAMprVgP-2O84fTxAJX_ZnECeaMiDwYyQemZrLSBsShRHLQqsg0pXZnbP_HYJkw_1K4VwhaH44aa_PwdPZsJWQzmGD5nZz1upHn7_cLkJvqTV/s320/DSC03775.JPG" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">skiing at its best ....world champions Manali<br /><br /></span></i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;">
We were tired and hungry so we sat down to have maggi (that was the only thing available at that point).We had to wait for quite some time for our turn to come for our maggi. We came back to our hotel after a great session of skiing.<br /> <br />
Next day was our last day and all our, which we started by going to river bank. We posed for some photos there and then someone came with rappelling gear.
