Emma's Guide to Bollywood
This is a top pick! ... receive an autograph from some faceless Bollywood Superstar. For others it might mean nothing at all. But to the vast percentage of India's population, this name might as well be a prayer. Amitabh – or 'Big B’ as he’s affectionately ...
Endless Song
This is a top pick! As I sit in the cosy recesses of my home I wonder at times how I made such a long and tough journey, that too mostly on foot. I remember how every cell of my body screamed in protest on steep slopes and yet I moved on, sometimes alone in terrible ...
. Kalapani - The Blue Waters
This is a top pick! The entire route of Kailash yatra, it seems is humming with activity. The sleepy population of Bhot region has awakened to the new reality - the influx of tourists and pilgrims. They have come out from their valleys in full strength with their mules to ...
A pleasant trek to Gala ... The Third Stop
This is a top pick! Today is ekadasi, the eleventh day of dark nights and third day of our journey. Fortified by a good night's sleep we are eager to start our onward journey. Some of us have arranged for ponies to negotiate difficult ascents and a personal porter to carry ...
The eyes have it
This is a top pick! ... and Jains, it is the centre of the world in Hindu cosmology, and considered the oldest continually populated city in India, 4,000 years and counting. The residing panoramic image is the skewed, staggered skyline of its warren-like quarters and temples ...
The Pink Gate of Jaipur
This is a top pick! I'm sitting on a bench at the pink gate of Jaipur, an hour after sunrise. I'd describe the walls as more of a coral or orange, but since this is the Pink City of Rajasthan I'll go with it. Even at this hour a steady stream of traffic honks past in both ...
Almora - The First Stop
This is a top pick! It is the ninth day of the waning moon. We reach our first day's camp in KMVN, tourist's bungalow in Almora, late in the evening. It is pitch dark out side and cold and damp inside. There is a calm and quietness about this place. During the rainy season ...
Trapped inside
This is a top pick! I'm stuck in a hotel again. Despite the noise from the temples and mosques, the staff are still asleep. Indian hotels keep fairly conservative hours or have habits slightly restrictive to someone used to to-ing and fro-ing as I please. In ...
Gunji - A Day of Rest and Medical Test
This is a top pick! It was still dark when I awake. The clouds have receded and the sky is a limpid turquoise blue, luminous with stars. There is a hint of silver lining of predawn light. A beam of light emanating from behind the hills is absorbed in the depths of the sky ...
The Golden City
This is a top pick! ... who got rich off the camel caravan trade routes. Just getting to the toilet (which one tends to do fairly often in India) is a journey: out of our richly decorated but undeniably crypt-like bedchamber, past the writing desk and wall paintings in our ...
Avalanche, The Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu
This is a top pick! The Nilgiris: Avalanche Revisited Dec 2008 - Jan 2009 Tiger Sighting on New Years Day Some hasty last minute plans saw us on the road to Avalanche (pronounced Avalanchi) just after Christmas. Jagdeesan, our ...
A Nicer Dicer in Bhutan
This is a top pick! Emma almost knocks me over with the strength of her embrace. "I can't believe you're here!" I extract myself to explain that I need some smaller bills to avoid paying some airport surcharge the taxi driver now says he's due, and her "I'm sure he does" ...
Luxury Camping plus a night in a Castle!!
This is a top pick! ... it which does not appear to happen much in India. Fingers crossed for this one as it really is a beautiful oasis in India. We travelled only for about 1/2 hour before stopping and getting out to walk through a farmer's wheat crop before coming to ...
Republic Day
This is a top pick! ... , but I'm deeply appreciative of the wool and acrylic items on display. The sweaters eventually lead us to the India Gate monument itself, which commemorates the contributions of the country to the defence of European allies during the first world war. ...
Tiger Safari - a very loooooong day
This is a top pick! ... into the National Park for a 3 hour safari in open roofed troop carriers. We saw monkeys spotted deer and a few peacocks (India's national bird) but alas no Bengal tigers. Really none of us held out for even the slightest chance of spotting ...
Endless Song continues
This is a top pick! Today, the morning of nineteenth day of August 2006, is a momentous occasion for us all, for on this day we are to begin our nearly a month long pilgrimage to holy Mount Kailash and lake Mansarovar. The doctors, after a thorough examination, have ...
Deraphuk: A Trek in lively La-chu Valley
This is a top pick! After an excellent stay here at Darchen we are now fully prepared for our 52 km parikrama of Mount Kailash . We start for Deraphuk early in the morning. Deraphuk is situated at a height of 4900 meter (16200ft) and is 20km away from Dharchen ...
Night train to Jaisalmer
This is a top pick! Moon broad but imperfect rides beside the train, beside we passengers that are part of this dark movement across the desert. Small stations pass, a single lamp shining for the silent players upon their stage. We are our own herald. All the ...
My butt hurts...
This is a top pick! After leaving our passports with an agent in Kathmandu, we headed off to Chitwan national park, to fill in time while Chinese and Indian visas were sorted out for us (there should be ominous music here... the words organised and Nepal really don't occur ...
Indian home cooking/ luxury living in udaipur
This is a top pick! ...and then add a teaspoon each of cumin seeds, ground coriander, anise, red chilli powder, chopped green chilli, a pinch of salt and simmer... Aahhhh, the aromas emanating from the pot on the stove in Renu Mahta's kitchen are mouthwatering! ...
Mansarovar Parikrama
This is a top pick! Holy Mansarovar to Hindus or Tso Mavang or Mapan to Tibetans is holiest of lakes. It is fascinating, inspiring and is revered by all who have glimpse of it even once or seen its mystic grandeur. Its sublime serenity and aura is soothing and calms the ...
photos from Jaisalmer
This is a top pick! I'll put in the story later. For now, here's what a desert city is like... http://www.flickr.com/photos/71103764@N00/ ...
Om
This is a top pick! ... Israelis here than you can imagine. We are tired- not going to lie. Since last we wrote, we have covered a LOT of ground. India is huge, and despite our best efforts to keep our plans realistic, we have worked our way pretty far north. We've seen ...
The last refuge of the hippies
This is a top pick! ... are friendly, which truthfully, is probably because the locals are all Tibetan. It was here that we sheltered from the rest of India while we organised tickets out of the place. Our original 20 weeks had turned into 3! But we decided to cut our losses ...
Live dangerously: eat in India
This is a top pick! ... flat space, i've flown over Oz and seen the African savannahs (ok, only on documentaries, but it still counts), but in India it's all cultivated. There are people everywhere. I think it's here that it actually hits you how crowded this country really ...
Atop Lepulekh Pass and over to Tibet
This is a top pick! ... terrain. Reaching such dizzy height had been a great challenge, yet a highly exhilarating experience. The Pass is the international divide between India and China. Tibet is only a small step away from the top of the pass. There are no border posts, no ...
OH MY GOD, I'M IN INDIA!!!
This is a top pick! Oh my God, I'm here! I'm actually in India... I'm typing this from an internet cafe on the main bazaar in Paharganj, Delhi, with the sweat trickling steadily off me and the incessant noise of horns blaring out on the street...it's chaos out there, but ...
Meltdown in the City from Hell
This is a top pick! ... feelings. I felt much better after doing so and by the time I climbed up into my berth for the overnight journey to Varanasi, India again seemed an adventure after the blip that was Agra. P.S. - I should also mention that since my last entry I spent a ...
Navidhang and Om Parvat
This is a top pick! 'Navi' means navel and 'dhang' mountain. Navidhang is thus called because the mountain in the foreground has the shape of a navel mound. Our trek of today is only nine kilometres. We leave the camp after a heavy breakfast at 09,30. The ...
The Pink City
This is a top pick! ... Jaipur is a big city of about 4 million. In the afternoon we did a bit of a walking tour. I saw the Hawa Mahal, India's second most photographed building. Then ventured through the old town and markets, with a stop at LMB, Jaipur's famous sweet and snack ...
