hi all....thought wud a start a thread on tourism in india here.....which places have u enjoyed visiting....places good for what they had to offer, or good because of how they offered...whatever....as for me.....travelled a bit.....some of the better places i thought were jaipur( very friendly to outsiders), most of the temple towns down south.....they are structural marvels..... khandala.....heck of a place to enjoy when with friends......but probably the best place has to be kerala..... haven't travelled much in the state...but from what i've seen , i surely envy the folks staying there...... ppl are very easy-going and nature blends in with civilization......after having stayed in concrete jungles for the better part of my life....that trip was a welcome change.... do drop in with ur opinions on this......
cheers
HI,
I went to Coonoor, little further than Ooty. It's a very beautiful town, not as crowded as Ooty. What can i say : It was the most amazing experience i ever had on a hill station.
Trekking in Sakleshpur: Near Mangalore, we went on the Railway tracks (abandoned). The views were simply breath taking.

yeah...i too had heard that coonoor was a beautiful town....was at coimbatore for a short period last year.....couldn't catch up on those places though......n talking of hill stations, i've been to a small place called hogennakal...real nice town on the karnataka-tn border ( a veerappan hideout, i'm told) .....been to mussorie in the north...but thought it was a bit too crowded and a bit unclean.....
cheers
hi,
Some of the best places I've ever been to are
a) The Bangalore-Mangalore Highway - The scenary is simply awesome
b) The beaches of Porbandar and Somnath with Diu nearby
I've heard the konkan railway route is cool - never been through but must visit sometime.

Further north the sun-kissed beaches
and temples are also a treat khandala.....heck of a place to enjoy when with friends
Matheran is also pretty relaxed ... the narrow gauge journey is cool

Mudumalai - the place to be - with friends for fun and chilling out ...
had been to jungle resorts and jungle huts - the place is really well maintained - tree-house et al
hey i feel Darjeling is a good place.
But Goa is cool. i really liked it.
hey i feel shimla is good place.
but nainital is cooool.

The best place on this earth is Sikkim....
Its a lovely place. Low population. Quite surroundings. Beautiful environment. Friendly people.... blah blah...
Its a must visit in one's lifetime...

As regds SIMLA, good for u mate....the place has gone from bad to worse.....rampant deforestation and const have taken their toll....and with the tourist traffic shifted from J&K;, there just isnt no lettin up. the old laid back simla charm is gone!!!
Dsala is a neat place though...especially McLeodGunj...is that how u spell that! Really calm and serene....and they have their own Dal Lake too!!!

Yeh i've been to Rohtang a cooool place. went to manalli for a trekking and rock climbing corse at YHA when i was in class 6 or 7th. did river rafting, rappling etc........
Yaa..I agree shimla is a bit too crowded.....it sure has lost its charm..but there are places like Kufri and Naldera.....which definitely can be visited
Dsala is a neat place though...especially McLeodGunj...is that how u spell that! Really calm and serene....and they have their own Dal Lake too!!!
Thx mate.....ya...that's exactly how u spell that
Dal lake .....there need to be some work done on it ..... 😃
Did u go in for a trek to Triund?? It's a lovely place..on the Dhauladhars....
Though it too is getting easily reachable.....They are coming up with a road to the place....the trek will soon loose all it's charm.... 😞
Whenever I go home I make it a point to go in for a trek to the Dhauladhar ranges ......Though nowadays don't spend as much time as we used to ..during the schooldays :)
Naddi....is a beautiful place too...
Apart from the scenic beauty......we have a lotta temples in and around dharamshala too.......these attract a large no. of worshipers from across the country...:)
The Best place I have ever been to is Singapore. The ultimate robotic-style city in the world. Truly a classy destination.
I hated SG for the same reason. Too robotic and too impersonal. No character.
Mauritius...
pagalguy SaysToo robotic and too impersonal
no two words would have sufficed more pal...... 😃 the city reeks of electricity rather than oxyzen..... :!: the folks there sure need to go get a life....... like the 'ol joke went, if they could prolly download it somewhere, they would
Cheers
ps: btw, donno how many of u guys are aware, but our Mr.naidu, "ceo" of AP, has plans of setting up a singapore replica out here in hyd.....land's already been acquired for the same.. :!:
