Talking to people with different disabilities about their travels gives you a sense of how each of them faces their own individual set of challenges. But, the conversations also reveal how the problems are far from insurmountable. A blind person can see the Taj Mahal merely by touching it. Someone who can't walk can go for a swim in the ocean with the help of a special chair. And a deaf person will have no problems communicating with someone in a different country, whose language he doesn't understand.
That's the dialogue that will be built at an event being hosted this weekend, called Travel Tales, where disabled people will share stories about the holidays that helped shape them as human beings. We spoke to some of the participants to get an idea of what their experiences have been like. And what emerged from the conversation is that accessibility isn't always a mountain they have to climb. So, here's a brief guide to Indian destinations that are disabled-friendly, spanning from the backwaters of Kerala to the mountains of Ladakh.
