Top 5 Travel Songs of Kishore Kumar

Travel makes me happy, and this weekend I am going on a trip—actually, I'm travelling solo for the first time in a while, and I am thrilled about it! There’s a long list of things I prepare at least a week in advance before I travel. I focus on multifunctional clothes and a couple of pairs of shoes because I love to travel light. While my husband prefers to use a suitcase for his short trips, I always opt for an extra handbag. 



My general handbag is always large enough to fit everything I might want to carry. I’m also really into skincare, so my travel bag wouldn’t be complete without a good selection of skincare products, though I always ensure to bring travel-sized versions. In addition to that, I always carry a book, my
sunglasses, and my travel playlist. 

This time, I’m going to create a playlist right now. I’m choosing songs by the legendary singer Kishore Kumar that capture the theme of travelling. Let’s do this!

1. Musafir Hoon Yaaron: This is my favourite one in the list. Composed by R.D. Burman and written by Gulzar, the song, along with a delightful picturization, perfectly portrays a traveller's mind, while he opts to take the unknown path ahead. Picturized in a beautiful location with actor Jeetendra, this song is from the children's film, Parichay, released in 1972.


2. Ruk Jana Nahin: Not as such a travel song, rather it focuses on the life of an average man, and urges him to not stop ever, and keep on moving on, overcoming all obstacles. Composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, this song is picturized on Vinod Khanna and is from the film Imtihaan, released in 1974.


3. Chala Jata Hoon: An absolutely delightful and cheerful song, this was composed by R D Burman and picturized on Rajesh Khanna. The best thing about the song is the hoodling by Kishore Kumar. The striking yellow car, moving along the mountain road, also adds to the charm. 


4. Hawa Ke Saath Saath: This song is from the famous comedy film, Seeta Aur Geeta, released in 1972. Composed by R D Burman, and penned by Anand Bakshi, the song has some fun moments picturized on Sanjeev Kumar and Hema Malini. In the entire song, the actors are seen to skate along the road.


5. Main Hun Jhoom Jhoom: This is a Title song of the film Jhumroo, released in 1961, starring Kishore Kumar himself. The song is full of fun beats and gibberish hoodling, that makes it so special. The song is composed by Kishore Kumar himself. What a multifaceted talent!

  1. This is a lovely list. Very apt tracklist for a trip.

    One more song comes to my mind - Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana.
