I will be travelling to Guwahati in Assam to attend a friend's wedding. After the marriage ceremony gets over, I will be staying in Guwahati for another 2-3 days to do local sightseeing. I need information about the best tourist attractions that one must visit during Guwahati trip. I don't have...

On the occasion of our 5th wedding anniversary, I am planning to take my better half to a tour of Sikkim. We plan to cover the tourist attractions in Gangtok, Namchi, Pelling, Ravangla and Yuksom on this trip. As per the information that I managed to gather, Gangtok seems to be the ideal base...

I had once used the cloak room on Plantform No 1 at NDLS. All was good while depositing the luggage there. I had to fill in a form and show my reservation slip. That's all. But while collecting the luggage back, I had to go through a torrid time. My train was at 2 PM and I thought to collect...

Go to Ooty, you won't regret the decision. Ooty-Coonoor toy train ride is a great experience. After all, Ooty is known as the 'Queen of Hill Stations' for a reason. It has much more to offer than Kodaikanal. In a head-to-head comparison between Ooty and Kodaikanal, it is Ooty who will get my vote.

Personally I would prefer Munnar over Wayanad any day. Wayanad is not a typical hill station. It is situated at a much lesser altitude than Munnar. Munnar is perhaps the best hill station in South India. Beautiful landscapes, waterfalls and tea plantations make it a much better choice from the...

I would like to know what's the best possible way to go from Cochin airport to Munnar. Is there any direct bus service from Cochin airport to Munnar or do we need to go to Cochin bus stand from the airport to catch a bus to Munnar? I heard that there are frequent buses to Munnar from Ernakulam...

If I am not wrong, then you are referring to the Essel World Water Kingdom located near Borivali in Mumbai. We went to this amusement park during our visit to Mumbai in last August. Cost of entry ticket for Water Kingdom was around Rs 750 for adults and Rs 400 for kids at that time. You need to...

There are a few cheap hotels near the JKSRTC Bus Stand in Srinagar. You can also find cheap hotels around the railway station area. Whenever I look for cheap hotels, I make sure to search in areas close to the bus stands and railway stations. You can invariably find a cheap hotel in such busy...

I am planning to visit Jim Corbett National Park over the next weekend from Delhi. Can someone please suggest me what is the best mode of road transport to go to Corbett from New Delhi? I don't have a car here in Delhi, but if driving down myself is the better option, then I would probably hire...

Well, Jim Corbett National Park needs no introduction. I am sure it's on every wildlife lover's list of 'must-visit' places in India. I am always fascinated by wildlife. The sheer joy of watching wild animals in their natural habitat is second to none. To be frank, till now my experience of...

Thanks for providing the details about Mysore to Ooty bus service. Yeah, self-drive could be an option. I didn't quite think about it though, but I will check with Avis and Myles. Could you please share the route details? Google Maps is showing two possible routes to reach Ooty from Mysore. One...

We are currently settled in Mysore and planning for a short leisurely trip to a nearby place. A hill station would be the perfect choice in this hot summer. Ooty appears to be good option. I keep hearing so many good things about Ooty, but did not get a chance to visit the place yet. Any idea...
