Sumedha Sood just got back from a magical weekend in the mountains. Here's her story!!Another example of too much planning doesn't do me any good....have been trying to plan a river rafting trip forever but it never materialized until this last minute impromptu plan :) And I loved every bit...even the endless car journey, which seemed like it would never come to an end.

Marrakesh has long been one of North Africa’s hippest destinations, but finding its cool hotels and cosmopolitan restaurants can be daunting for the uninitiated.The maze of dusty streets hides fantastic riads (traditional courtyard houses – much like the havelis in India), boutiques and atmospheric nooks in which you can simply watch the world go by, but in such a rapidly evolving city, you do

Beijing...There is something intensely liberating about being in a place where no one speaks, or even attempts to speak, your language. Which is why a trip to China, which included Beijing, Shanghai and the picturesque Guilin, got the nod from me right away. My first morning there and I woke up to find out that Beijing had laid out a white carpet welcome. Fresh snow dusted the wide streets, where

Our veteran contributor - Sonali Sokhal - goes to Sri Lanka. Here's what she has to say!! Arrival……….If the arrival lounge of an airport gives you a microcosmic glimpse into a country, then Sri Lanka’s airport is nice enough to make me want to cry. I know comparisons with my own country are unfair, but seriously, the carpets in the airport corridors at IGI airport look like someone shat on them.

Crete is much more than just another Greek island. Much of the time, especially in the cities or along the northern coast, it doesn't feel like an island at all, but a substantial land in its own right. Which of course it is -- a mountainous, wealthy and at times surprisingly cosmopolitan one with a tremendous and unique history. There are two big cities, Heraklion (sometimes spelled Iraklion)

Kanchenjunga - the last virgin peak in the world - is often translated as Five Treasuries of the Great Snow, a reference to the five high peaks that rise from the surrounding glaciers. Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world. From 1838 until 1849, it was believed to be the highest. It is an enormous mountain mass, and many satellite peaks rise from its narrow icy ridges. It is

Laarenz Rode is the centre of the universe!!!!At least that’s what we Amritsaris like to believe. Its another matter that Laarenz Rode is actually Lawrence Road.Anyways, its kinda strange writing about your own home town in a travelogue. But I just visited Amritsar after a couple o’ years – so what if it was for half a day and realized how much this town has to offer – Religion / Faith: Darbar

TAKING CUE FROM OUR LAST ENTRY, THE HINDUSTAN TIMES, DELHI TOO DID A REPORT ON IGI AIRPORT TODAY (29th AUGUST, 2004). HERE'S WHAT THEY HAVE TO STAY:A team from HT spent an entire evening at IGI airport examining the facilities available and the problems passengers faced.

We posted this story on 27th August, 2004 and all observations are still valid today - almost 30 months later. Though, with the airport being privatised and the Commonwealth Games due in 2010, there seems to be some hope!!Venusian posted this rather interesting comment on the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi on her blog. I have her permission to post it here along with all the

August 2004The world's biggest arts festival, a three-week jamboree of the good, the bad and the frankly ridiculous, began on 8th August with a cavalcade through Edinburgh watched by a crowd of more than 150,000. Seventy five Harley Davidson motorbikes led the parade, followed by the entire cast of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.By the end of the month, 3,100 musicians, singers, dancers and

Original Post circa August 2004 SLEEPLESS IN COPENHAGENCopenhagen is sizzling these days - as is the rest of Scandinavia. Apparently, Delhi was cooler than CPH, Stockholm and Oslo yesterday. With temperatures around 32 and no airconditioning, it had been a series of sleepless nights till yesterday when I finally decided to shift from the hotel that I've always stayed in - the charming period

Italy has the right to call itself the cultural capital of Europe with its long history in the arts, its robust wines and great food. From Milan through Rome, Florence and then down to Naples, the country oozes charm and sophistication from every street corner. It gave the world one of the greatest empires, influenced architecture for over 2,000 years and pulled Europe out of a cultural quagmire

THIS WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED IN JULY 2004. WILL UPDATE IT WHEN WE'RE THROUGH WITH SHIFTING!A BAR, they say, is a place where you get wet change and dry martinis... and much, much more. Every Drinking Man has at least one favourite pub: your "home away from home" where you're always welcome to enjoy a drink or ten in convival company - and no one to nag you. When it comes to pub talk, the merits of

8th JULY, 2004"From a yacht at sea on a blinding summer's afternoon, the dizzy wall of terraced vines and lemon groves, the tiny white houses and the purple bougainvillea, the perfect fingernails of beach below, all lull you into a timeless present. Yet a thousand years ago, today's toy town was the hub of the known world." -Peter Robb.It was about 11 in the morning when the train got into the

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 5th JULY, 2004!!If Delhi gives you belly then Sydney definitely gives you a kidney situation. Ozzies are known for their drinking and women (Know the difference between an Ozzie babe and a parrot??

We all like to be prepared for a foreign country and guide books are great as far as they go and the little phrase books are indispensable. Here are a few tips that you won't find in many guides...· If you are going to speak Italian learn what you should be saying to different age groups - old people get very offended with informality.· Italians love talking about star signs, food
