Oh this movies is one of my favourite, not because it is a Travel inspirational movie, but because it teaches you how to be strong in difficult times, I was in tears and pain watching this movie, but at the same time it motivated me to be a stronger Individual in Life. Movies can teach you so much, we cannot even imagine. So whenever you feel low in life or like a looser, just watch this movie, it will help you in understanding how people do not give up even in such difficult situations, then who are we to give up so soon. Gear Up buddy, life is more than what we think.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Available on Netflix – Watch trailer
When we talk of Bollywood films that make us want to travel, Ayan Mukherjee’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani finds a definite top spot on the list. Unlike most Indian films, it wasn’t just the exotic YJHD filming locations that inspired many to travel, but also the idea of travelling with friends and making it memorable for years to come. Like every other Goa trip, Manali trips with friends also share the same spot in everyones’ hearts. Paris and Lyon beautifully put together a complete tourism montage of the food, streets, culture, luxuries, women, and all kinds of beauty of the French cities.
I think everyone is Kabir in their life at sometime, who wants to fly, fall, walk, but never stop in life. Oh, this movie has such a beautiful set up in the hills of Manali, India that whoever is not a traveler will definitely turn into one. One of my favourite Travel Inspirational Movie of all time.
The Tourist
Available on Netflix – Watch trailer
The Tourist is one of the most creatively paired movies on the big screen between Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. The movie does capture traveling in Europe beautifully. It makes you want to have a romantic tryst in Venice. It makes you want to ride a train and have a mysterious encounter. It gives you a glimpse into how the rich live and travel the world. It is among one of those movies that inspire to travel the world.
The Bucket List
Available on Youtube – Watch Trailer
The Bucket List is one amazing movie. The phrase has been overused in recent years, but the message never gets old. The Bucket List is the original “live your dreams now” travel inspirational movie. It stimulates living indiscriminately & compassionately without any regrets. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman starrer movie will take on a journey portraying the most beautiful locations across the globe. From the Great Pyramid of Giza to Lion safari in Tanzania to the Great Wall of China to Taj Mahal!!
