Travelling has its fun. There are different ways of traveling. Some people like to travel with family or friends, while some like to travel alone. Some like mountains, while others like the sea. Some like popular tourist destinations, while others like places that are away from the crowd. Nowadays, the trend of traveling to quiet places is increasing. This is called silent travel.

Understand silent travel

Travel expert Nikki Saini says that hearing the word silent travel, it seems that one is travelling to a place that is deserted, but it is not so. Silent travelling is a journey where there is no noise and a crowd of people. People get peace by visiting these places. The trend of this type of travelling has increased all over the world because people now want to do digital detox through this travelling. Silent travel is also called quiet travel. In this, travellers stay away from people and connect themselves with nature. Silent travel may be a new word in 2025, but its trend is centuries old. In Buddhism, this practice is called Vipassana, which means practicing living the truth.

First choice of introverts

It is believed that people who speak less or do not mingle with people easily, prefer solo travelling. But silent travelling is also done more by introverts. Such people like to climb mountains alone or watch the sunset on the seashore. In silent travelling, instead of the noise of people, the sound of chirping of birds, gusts of strong winds, flowing water of the river or the noise of the waves of the sea is heard.

Off-season is the first choice

Often people like to travel in peak season but people fond of silent travelling prefer to travel in off season because there is no crowd of people at this time. They see these places closely in a relaxed manner and spend as much time as possible. By travelling off season, tickets for flights, trains, hotels and other places are also cheaper, i.e. silent travelling is also pocket friendly.

Do not post photos on social media

One of the advantages of silent travelling is that travellers never post photos of this wandering on social media. Whereas nowadays most people travel only to show off on social media. Silent travelling is done completely silently, without telling the world.

You can find peace by visiting these places.

Often travellers like to visit popular destinations but silent travelling includes those places which are unknown, i.e. most tourists do not go to such places. Like most people like to go to Greece or Maldives to see the sea and sunset, but the same beautiful view is also seen in Albania but this place is not popular among tourists. Talking about India, places like Bhedaghat in Madhya Pradesh, Spiti Valley and Tosh Parvati Valley in Himachal Pradesh, Hangle in Ladakh, Poovar Island in Kerala, Yusmarg and Gurez in Jammu and Kashmir, Landour in Uttarakhand are best for silent travel. If you like trekking or camping in the forests, then this is also a good option.

Away from technology
The most special thing about silent traveling is that people stay away from technology during this time. While traveling, they do not use mobile, tab or laptop. Instead of talking on the phone or chatting on WhatsApp, they connect with local people. They talk to them and live like them. Silent traveling is like meditation in a way because travelers spend time alone and sit close to nature and enjoy nature meditatively.

Staying close to nature is beneficial

In today's hectic life, everyone is surrounded by stress. In silent traveling, nature is seen closely, it is felt, due to which the stress hormone called cortisol in the body starts decreasing and the mood becomes good.

Blood pressure remains under control

According to a study by Harvard Health, traveling solves the problem of high blood pressure. Because while traveling, the person remains stress free. Apart from this, sleep also improves. Amidst the hustle and bustle of cities, people's sleep is affected the most.
