Bollywood has inspired us in many ways and one of the major influences these movies have had on our lives is travel. We have all been fascinated by the exotic locations, the beautiful settings and the history and culture of cities from all over the world that Bollywood has romanced in.
The road trip movie became a trend in Bollywood, first explored by Aditya Chopra in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Then Farhan Akhtar took it to 'must-be-on-my-bucket-list' level in Dil Chahta Hai. In recent movies, the trend continued with Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Tamasha.
The movies inspired many to pack their bags and set off for these beautiful places. It sparked the traveller and explorer in us. Not to forget, being able to tell stories of the journey a la Joey and Ross!
Diwali vacations are knocking on the door and if you're planning a getaway, here are a few options you can explore with Airbnb and live like the locals.
