As a child I have traveled a lot by train and  always use to see many foreign tourist carrying heavy backpacks on their back. There was always a curiosity to know why do they carry so much weight? what is the fun? why do these tourist travel in large groups? Yes! I was fascinated by these backpacks and the big cameras hanging around the neck of backpackers.
