Traveling:  An Inborn Nature

Traveling, a very common word for today’s world is a very primitive idea for mankind. It means moving one place to another. In ancient times people travelled one place to another to meet up their needs. But as mankind improved, people started agriculture. So, they started to live in one place and thus, built the civilization. But, still men have to travel. Sometimes it’s for business, sometimes for livelihood, sometimes for treatment, or sometimes it’s only for mere enjoyment. In case of traveling, now-a-days, Tourism in Bangladesh has opened a new window to explore the actual natural beauty.
