Short Summary
Hello everyone! My name is Akshay Shah and I am a film maker. I have worked on a lot of video projects, shows and interviews, but I am not here to discuss what I do. My idea here starts with footwear, or in simpler terms, the earliest mode of transport as I consider it one. So the question is “Why humans created footwear?” To go from one place to another. Then why bikes & cars?
To go from one state to another and trains? To go from one country to another and airplane & ships? To go from one continent to another and the journey doesn’t stop here, we have spaceships and rockets too. So why not replace the word GO with TRAVEL?
It is in human blood that people love to travel, feel the nature, learn about new cultures and most importantly explore the unexplored. It is the curiosity in them which makes them investigate the unknown.
We love traveling because it is unpredictable you never know what is going to happen next, what are the things you'll explore. There is an adrenaline rush that runs inside you and its not something you learn, it is something that's already in your genes. Our ancestors were explorers, wanderers or some kind of gypsies. We too carry the same traits and we need to again explore ourselves.
So here we GO or shall I say TRAVEL. I am an Indian and I want to make it big. A traveling web series of 18 Episodes on my state of UTTARAKHAND(a state in India). Uttarakhand is also known as the land of the gods, where Gods actually live. You might have heard of Haridwar, Rishikesh, Mussoorie, Nanital, Dehradun etc. But they are just the common ones, there are a lot of other places, which are un-discovered, untouched, beautiful and something right out of a fairytale.
Uttarakhand is known for its flora and fauna, its culture, people, temples and not to forget the enthralling adventure sports.
The web series will take you to the core of what we call Uttarakhand which is part of the northern region of India. Surrounded by the mighty Himalayas on the north, it is covered with a blanket of snow half of the year round giving one of the best landscapes in the country and not to forget the venue for the South Asian winter games and valley of flowers-a valley right out of a Robert Frost poem, the lush green meadows and the colorful flowers in between the huge glaciers, glimpses of the blue sky through the green meadows. Your love for wildlife cannot end here, it begins in Uttarakhand, with more than 10 national parks and sanctuaries and home to the most unique flora and fauna in the country. Uttarakhand takes you to those heights where even the sky is not the limit to explore, the highest waterfalls in the country, mightiest rivers and with boundless nature to explore we invite you to explore my state through my eyes. Get lost in the woods, taste the fruits never seen before, say Hi to the rare wildlife, experience the most beautiful sunrise & sunsets, paths dangerous as hell, temples on the edge of the country. We will take you to the clouds, make you listen to the breeze as if talking to you, enjoy adventure sports with the no limits, spend nights you have never dreamt of, stories you have never heard of and customs and cultures you've never been part of before.
And there's a lot more that cannot be expressed in words, it can just be experienced.
We invite you to the land of Gods.
Support us and show us your love.
