Margao and Vasco-da-Gama are the main railway stations in Goa. Both are very busy stations. If your train is coming from Delhi, my guess is it will stop at Vasco-da-Gama. But that's just my guess. Please check the detailed schedule of the train for details. But both Margao and Vasco-da-Gama is...

Yes, I have heard about the bus service from Moreh in Manipur to Maynmar. I remember reading about it in the news that it would be open and in service in 2016. But not sure if it is operational now or still in the works. The Manipur - Myanmar crossing existed before and the road was being...

This is the third thread I have come across today comparing Manali to other places :) Anyway, Auli and Manali are both good and beautiful places. The main difference is that Auli is more popular among people seeking winter/adventure sports. If you want a quiet time off and sight seeing , Manali...

Goa, for me. Both places are beautiful, but Goa seems more of the 'party' type. Pondicherry is more calm and spiritual (if I may), and Goa is more commercial, hip and crowdy. Yes, Goa is overcrowded comparatively, but it is also more enjoyable. If you wanna enjoy yourself, go to Goa. If you are...

Yes, Delhi has an extreme weather and it is too hot during summer and extremely cold during the winter. However, cold as it may be during the winter, there is no snowfall in Delhi. It is just extremely foggy and cold. If you want to experience snowfall, you can go to one of the many hill...

I have come across so many stories about Yeti sightings in the Himalayas, but no proof whatsoever of the same. There are tons of fake pictures (usually of huge footprints in the snow) but most can be identified as fake at the first look. I think, it is just a myth and nothing more, or else we...

Not to safe at the moment, I reckon. Kashmir is unstable almost always, but it is also relatively safe for tourists usually. But as you can see in the news off late, the situation is kind of extra tense past few months. You should wait a bit for the situation to improve and then travel. Apart...

I have replied to similar thread today regarding Manali and Nainital. I was suggesting Manali in that thread. Among the choices you have listed, I would go with either Manali or Shimla. But it is entirely my personal preference, some may like the other hill stations more. All these places are...

You can reach Port Blair both by Air or Sea from either Chennai or Kolkata. Various domestic airlines fly regularly in these route. You can also travel by the sea with ship services that operates from Chennai. Ship are not usually available daily (one or two ships weekly, if I remember...

I personally prefer Ola. Can't say one is much better or worse than the other and both have some questionable practices. But I find Ola is usually cheaper than Uber and didn't have much bad experience with them so far. Also, I like their app better.

Both are extremely good places to visit. But if I have to choose, I would go with Manali. For honeymoon Manli is much better option and it also has more adventure sports options than Nainital. Nainital is good for trekking and similar stuffs though.

I like the idea of this thread. It's different. From my own experience I can say that the worst time to visit Kerala is from May to June. It's too hot and rainy too. Same with Assam. I would never want to visit Tamil Nadu in May/June its so hot. I would do anything to avoid Kolkata in the summer...

Dakshineswar Temple (If you are the religious kind, then it's a must visit), Victoria Memorial, Indian Museum and Birla Planetarium are the most common and popular attractions in Kolkata. Science City is another popular attraction recently. There is also lot of parks that you may want to check...

It's smaller than Delhi, but still a big city. But I guess you can cover much of the city in two days with some planning.You can check out museum and Lalbagh (one of the most common tourist places) and some other places in the same day.

Rock Manali is a great place to stay. It's a good hotel with quality service. It also has most amenities you would normally expect. I think the charges are also a bit cheaper than other similar hotels.
