*Remember, you still need to decide for yourself based upon your attraction and fascination over a place or activity. As well as to consider the pace you want to have while traveling. Planning too many targets on a day will either exhaust you rather than give you peace and joy on the culture and tradition.

Create your own road, rather than taking someone else's path.
It can only be a road when one passes it.
