In the mid 1960\u2019s the concept was put before the Government of India and UNESCO, in 1966 they passed a unanimous resolution commending it as a project of importance to the future of humanity, thereby giving their full encouragement.

An ideal destination to meet like-minded people, with the intention of growing and developing ourselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0Gandhinagar \u2013 Akshardham:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/images.space.https:\/\/www.awfis.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/shutterstock_3835072871.jpg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02181616\/maxresdefault.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11291\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/images.space.https:\/\/www.awfis.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/shutterstock_3835072871.jpg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02181616\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"maxresdefault\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Located in the capital of Gujarat, it\u2019s a large Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Swaminarayan and inspired by Pramukh Swami and his life and teachings. Akshardham is a place of education, entertainment and enlightenment, a miracle worked by the sacrifice of thousands of volunteers. The complex has 5 exhibition halls with audio-visual presentation and life-sized dioramas to explore various themes in Hinduism, one of the most powerful experiences of Indian culture we can experience in current times. They also have a water show and the opportunity to explore a course in Social Harmony too! Visiting this place will mentally uplift you in a manner, no other place may.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0Himachal Pradesh \u2013 Hills:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/images.space.https:\/\/www.awfis.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/shutterstock_3835072871.jpg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02181444\/2IMAGE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11290\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/images.space.https:\/\/www.awfis.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/shutterstock_3835072871.jpg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02181444\/2IMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"2IMAGE\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In order to free yourself from your thoughts, all you need is mountain-hills-snow and fresh air which the Himachal hills can provide, naturally. It\u2019s not an escape route but more of a hibernation zone you can explore to cut off from this fast pace world. We aren\u2019t recommending this location because Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs were here, but the hills &amp; the surrounding atmosphere helps a person to rejuvenate and apply new thoughts to live life. A spiritual destination, especially for the adventure lovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0Dharamshala \u2013 Kangra Valley:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/images.space.https:\/\/www.awfis.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/shutterstock_3835072871.jpg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02181428\/3IMAGE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11287\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/images.space.https:\/\/www.awfis.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/shutterstock_3835072871.jpg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02181428\/3IMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"3IMAGE\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Dalai Lama\u2019s residence and the Central Tibetan Administration is in Dharamshala city, it is one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a smart city under PM Narendra Modi\u2019s flagship \u201cSmart Cities Mission\u201d. Apart from the obvious, one of the main attractions of Dharamshala is Triund hill, a one day trek at the upper reaches of McLeodGanj.<br \/>\nSo as an entrepreneur, you may also be fascinated by the political relationship between India-China and Tibet.

We recommend a movie, \u201cSeven years in Tibet\u201d which will thoroughly inspire you to go to this location.

The temple complex is open for almost 20 hours every day, with free food served to all, irrespective of their religion, cast or creed. The corporate jungle with its fearsome competitive environment, sometime takes over the human side of us.
