Imagine travelling across India’s most popular tourist destinations and having the government pay for it. Fake news? Nope, it’s true and it’s called the Dekho Mera Desh campaign. In an attempt to boost tourism within India, the Ministry Of Tourism has stated it will fund your travel expenses if you visit 15 destinations in a year and post pictures to the official website. But you need to travel outside of your home state to be eligible.

You could also take a pledge to visit 15 destinations by 2022, which could motivate you to start planning those trips. Speaking at the National Tourism Conference in Konark, Union Tourism Minister Prahlad Singh Patel mentioned that the move should be viewed as an incentive to travel and not as a monetary benefit. The minister also mentioned that Konark’s Sun Temple will be included in the list of iconic sites.

Come let's be a part of our Prime Minister's vision of '#DekhoApnaDesh' & take a pledge to visit at least 15 destinations by 2022 and dive deeper into India's art,culture,history & heritage.

The details of which tourist destinations qualify for this campaign and how a winner will be picked are unclear as of now, but here’s hoping one of us gets to travel for free!
