Monsoon Travel worries

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Monsoon Are you looking forward to the extended weekend around the 15^th of August break? Are you wondering where to go, what to do, and how best to utilize the break? And are you at a complete loss for places to go to? Well, frankly so are we…..This is off season time at almost all most-popular destinations. The hills can be a tad bit dangerous during Indian monsoons- for fear of landslides. The beaches are closed because of the swelling waters. And land is water locked…… So while you know the hills will be a misty azure amidst the clouds and the beaches with the coconut tree lines will be glittering shades of green, you dare not brave it all to follow your heart.

But what the heck? This is just the time guys for the best off-season discounts. Most hotels lend their rooms at lesser rates at this time of the year. The hills and beaches are also typically less crowded. So, in a way, this is adventure season for the brave at heart. If you have the spunk to follow your wanderlust, just pack your bags and move. Avail the great discounts available on hotels and enjoy nature in tranquility. For some destination details check out our post called “Travel Destinations for Indian Monsoons”

Travel Destinations for Indian Monsoons

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

	Corbett National Park Named after the famous hunter of man-eating tigers, this national park is home to a variety of flora and fauna. 110 tree species, 50 mammals’ species, 580 bird species, and 25 reptile species to name just a few.
Needless to say, this place provides welcome respite from everyday city stress.
	Puducherry A quite little town on the southern coast of India, this place still retains the quaint flavour of a French colony: the majestic colonial heritage buildings, unspoilt virgin beaches, and tree lines boulevards.
	Kerala A long shoreline with serene beaches. Tranquil streches of emerald backwaters. Lush hill stations and exotic wildlife. Waterfalls. Sprawling plantations and paddy fields. Ayurvedic health holidays. Enchanting art
forms. Magical festivals. Historic and cultural monuments. An exotic cuisine…you need more reasons to visit Kerala?
	Matheran Located at an elevation of 800m from the sea level, Matheran is an idealic weekend get-away just 100 km from Mumbai. A rare spot close to the city, this place has managed to retain much of its old world charm.
The only modes of transport are horseback, man-pulled rickshaw or on foot. Old British style architecture still adorn Matheran colonies, the numerous bisecting roads of which are made of laterite earth.
