To travel is to experience a feeling of connection with nature, the place and most importantly ourselves. Traveling is an experience that cannot be taken away from you. It is such a liberating thing that it leaves you wanting more. There is no denying that traveling is a catalyst for rejuvenation and healing. There is nothing more therapeutic and rewarding as traveling and as travel buffs we’ve always admired the picturesque scenes in Bollywood movies. It makes us wonder how amazing it would be to visit them. From mountain peaks to golden sand beaches, movies have always played a role in inspiring us to reach our next travel destination. It fuels our desire to travel and when we see a beautiful location or a fun travel experience all we want to do is to pack our bags and just take off, don’t we? So here are a few Bollywood movies that have inspired us to travel to beautiful scenic locations.
1. Queen
Empowering and out of the ordinary, Queen is a movie that inspires us to find ourselves.

This movie inspires us to not only visit these touristy places but also gives us a new outlook on life.
2. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
This movie takes the idea of a bachelor party to a whole new level. A trip to Spain with three friends before a wedding does not sound too bad, does it?

The tomatina festival in Spain, the skydiving experience and other such travel buzz activities in the movie makes us want to try and go on a trip with our friends.

While this movie is known for a lot of things, the road trip with friends while exploring life and Goa is what stands out.
4. Finding Fanny
Goa is the ultimate beach destination for every Indian and there is no denying that. Finding Fanny is another movie that shows us the unexplored side of Goa and it captures the journey so beautifully. For everyone who considers Goa as the party state, this movie shows you that there is a peaceful side to the beach state too. It inspires us to witness the calming yet magnificent parts of Goa that are not so popular. The movie also gave us a look into the lives of regular Goan village folk.
5. Dil Dhadakne Do
A movie that speaks about the challenges faced in a modern, rich, and elite family, Dil Dhadakne Do was shot on a cruise ship. The movie had scenes overlooking the ocean and people dressed in fashionable clothing giving us more reasons to travel on a ship. Seasick or not, this movie captures our desire to experience a cruise at least for a few hours if not for a prolonged period.
