Adventure Tourism: Three Pillar Outlook of Indian Himalayan Range by Ashutosh Sharma, 1st,Parveen Chauhan, 2nd Pdf

The rich contrast of culture and varied topography, crowned with a tremendous variety in the weather, is more than what a stranger can handle in this land. Tourists coming to India are fascinated by what they see here. When he lands in a modern airport and enters the streets with honking horns and crowded streets with beggars on the streets and even cows sharing this space, the contrast is mesmerizing. And it is exactly this contrast that they are looking for. The colourful culture and spirited helpful people, the land, the mountains and rivers, the religious sites and the millennial yoga tradition continue to attract India. Adventure tourism is an outdoor leisure activity that usually takes place in an exotic, exotic, remote or forest setting, sometimes with some extraordinary means of transport and associated with low or high levels of physical activity

Mobile Lifeworlds by Christopher A. Howard Pdf

Mobile Lifeworlds illustrates how the imaginaries and ideals of Western travellers, especially those of untouched nature and spiritual enlightenment, are consistent with media representations of the Himalayan region, romanticism and modernity at large. Blending tourism and pilgrimage, travel across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and Northern India is often inspired and oriented by a search for authenticity, adventure and Otherness. Such valued ideals are shown, however, to be contested by the very forces and configurations that enable global mobility. The role ubiquitous media and mobile technologies now play in framing travel experiences are explored, revealing a situation in which actors are neither here nor there, but increasingly are ‘inter-placed’ across planetary landscapes. Beyond institutionalised religious contexts and the visiting of sacred sites, the author shows how a secular religiosity manifests in practical, bodily encounters with foreign environments. This book is unique in that it draws on a dynamic and innovative set of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, especially phenomenology, the mobilities paradigm and philosophical anthropology. The volume breaks fresh ground in pilgrimage, tourism and travel studies by unfolding the complex relationships between the virtual, imaginary and corporeal dynamics of contemporary mobile lifeworlds.
