Travel literature is the result of personal and real experiences of individuals traveling country and abroad. This category of literature is the result of the experiences gained through travel not being confined to oneself but written in an artistic manner with one’s own creative talent. Since people are travellers by nature, they naturally travel abroad for various purposes. However, some people are fortunate enough to see the place of their dreams despite their desire or ability. There is always a desire in the heart of man to know what he does not know and to understand those unknown things. This is why people read books or travel to many places to experience new things (Baruah,2022).Therefore, travel writers present their travel stories to the readers by writing their personal travel experiences in a simple, juicy and fluent manner to inform others about the educational, economic, political, social and cultural aspects of an unseen place.
