They paint phalluses in the walls of regular houses or hang these kinds of figures from the roof to chase away demons and evil spirits. They restrict the amount of visitors per year, and even if you are able to visit you’re not allowed to travel freely, you have to move around with a guide...

I’m a big mountaineering and trekking fan since I did the Everest Base camp. I can tell you that it is the best experience I’ve had in my life. I’ve been to a lot of beautiful and amazing places, but this is just something else. The best piece of advice I can give you is to go with a reputable...

Well, this is completely new to me. I wasn't aware of this and it's good to have this forum to learn all this stuff. I don't really like the fact that tourists should pay a fee to take videos or pictures, but if the money goes to the animals and to take better care of the park then it's fair...

Hey, this is a great guide, thank you so much for sharing. Goa is very popular among tourists for obvious reasons, but you share a lot of information that I bet almost no one who's planning to visit Goa knows. One of the things I haven't considered yet were the weather, for example. For almost...

Well, this is kind of shocking. What I don't really get is if India is no longer a safe place in general or only for Russian tourists. The thing is that as things are today around the world there are no safe places or countries anymore. We have to live and enjoy life and take opportunities, we...

Alu Gobi is a dish with potatoes and veggies that is yellow because of the turmeric and curry, but it's really good. I can't describe how good it is. Well, if you like spicy food then you'll love this. Butter Chicken combines a lot of spices and onions and yes, butter! It is kind of fattening...

One of the main reasons I want to visit India is because of the food. I've never been there but Indian food all over the world is amazing, I can't imagine how good the real thing is. I'm really excited about visiting India soon and already have a list of all the dishes I'm dying to try. Now, as...

Oh thank you so much for the heads up, I was just reading about these places you suggested and they seem amazing as well. I found some pictures as well that I'm sharing with everyone here, just in case there are more trekking and hiking enthusiasts. I've been doing my research and haven't heard...

Thanks again for such great information. Your posts are really awesome and make me want to tele-transport to these places right now! Tirthan Valley’s picture took my breath away, like literally. How is it possible that such a beautiful place exists and I wasn’t aware of it? I’m actually happy...

I was wondering if someone has ever heard of the Nanda Devi trek? My family and I are big fans of trekking and mountaineering and we’re heading to India very soon and are looking for some adventure. I’ve been reading and found this Nanda Devi trek that sounds awesome but will be happy to know...

Well, my sister lived in India and she's so in love with the country and its people that it just makes me want to be there now! She's so apssionate about it and is dying to go back, so we're planning a family vacation next year to visit as many places as we can in twenty days. Also the idea of...

I think it all depends from the country you're traveling from. For some countries the yellow fever vaccination is a must. Now if you're going to South India is advisable you take malaria medications, I would also say Hep A and B and tetanus (this is not only for India but everywhere else), I...

I love this thread, I have spent a lot of time doing research for this because I plan in traveling around India by train. If my budget allows I would love to try first class at least once, but I guess I'll be traveling in class 2A. My sister and some friends told me that class 2A is not that bad...

Well, this is very sad and it's hard to believe that this can happen today. I really understand that some people can be passionate about their beliefs but this is not excuse to end with someone else's life. I hope justice is made and also hope that everyone understands that we're all different...

Well it sounds like another amazing place in India. I was looking at the pictures and it seems like it’s not a very famous yet and this makes it even more appealing. I also read it’s very well located, since it’s only 30 km from Cochin International Airport and if you’re traveling by train you...
