Hey!! Brahmatal (February to April) This trek is certainly a snow lover's paradise. The biggest draw in this trek is the remote lake of Brahmatal, which remains frozen in this season. Surrounding the lake are some mighty Himalayan peaks with altitudes of more than 20,000 feet. The Brahmatal peak, at 11,000 feet, is known to offer breathtaking views of Mt Trishul and and Mt Nanda Ghunti, among others. Deoriatal-Chandrashila (March to May) This trek take one up to Deoriatal, a high-altitude lake, followed by a climb up to the beautiful Chandrashila peak at 12,100 feet. The trail leads a trekker through an interesting mix of landscapes, including forests, a wide alpine meadow, lakes, and finally truckloads of snow towards the top. With more 100 species of birds seen on the trail, the trek is a favourite among birders Sandakphu and Phalut (February to May) You can see the great Himalayan peaks on this trekking route. While there's Kanchenjunga on one hand, there are incredible views of Everest, Makalu, Lhotse and Annapurna on the other. One of the most popular treks in India, the trek leads one through a wide variety of forests that include silver firs, rhododendrons, magnolias and lovely large-leaved drumstick primulas, and finally leading up to vast snow-laden fields. Har ki Dun (March to May) Named after the Har ki Dun peak, the trek starts from Taluka, located 12 km from Sankri village in Uttarakhand. The trails leads a trekker through alpine meadows, moraine ridges, glacier basins, pine forests and ancient villages. The biggest takeaways from this trek are some stunning views of the valley and an opportunity to experience the amazing slow-paced local lifestyle. You can also catch glimpses of the rarely found Brahma Kamal flower on this trek. Kedarkantha (March to May) A pine and maple forest, a few beautiful meadows and vast stretches of snow are some of the best things you will come across on this trek. Trekkers are greeted with clear views of Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Kala2 Nag and Ranglana peaks, while the night skies are filled with a blanket of stars. Most of the camping on this trekking route is done in the woods and snow. Happy travelling

If you wants a boat, its all cargo vessels: oocl, evergreen, maersk, apl. Unless a cruise liner makes a stop, it will still be expensive and takes too long. Other than that, fly. happy travelling

1. Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary, Udupi (Timings: 6.00 am to 8.00 pm, Telephone: 08258-21183, Deputy Conservator of Forests, The Best Season: October to April) (Important Distances from Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary: 50 km from Udipi, 90 km from Mangalore, 110 km from Shimoga, 125 km from Sagar) Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Udupi district spread around 90 square km area of Western Ghats. It was declared a wildlife sanctuary on 5th June 1974 and it is one of the hot biological diversity in the world. It is named after the presiding deity "Lord Someshwara" of the famed Someshwara temple located within the sanctuary. The wildlife of the sanctuary include tiger, leopard, sambar, spotted deer, wild dog, jackal, gaur, barking deer, lion tailed macaque, bonnet macaque, langur and wild pig. Many trekkers and nature lovers come to explore the sanctuary. However, one needs to take permission from jungle authority. Someshwara Wildlife sanctuary is well connected by road network from Mangalore and Shimoga city. Nearest airport is at Mangalore and railway station is in Udupi. 2. The Seethanadi Nature Camp, Hebri (Contact number: 9449599758, Email:info@junglelodges.com, Reservation:http://www.junglelodges.com/reservation/) The Seethanadi Nature Camp in Hebri is located inside Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary with tent accommodation and dormitories. The camp offers fantastic weekend spot to relax in nature’s world. Besides setting out on nature walks and admiring the marvels of nature, the camp organizes a number of activities such as bird watching, trekking, river rafting (July to September), fish feeding point. White water rafting is available in the monsoon. Nearby tourist spots around the camp are Durga Parameshvari temple, Onake Abbi waterfall and Agumbe rainforest research station. To reach the camp, take bus from Udupi heading to Agumbe and get down Seethanadi Nisargadhama. 3. Seetha Falls Koodlu Teertha, Hebri (Timings: 9.00 am to 3.00 pm, Best Season: September to January, 17 km from Hebri, 47 km from Udupi, 208 km from the Madikeri, 268 km from Bangalore and 122 km from Mysore) Seetha Falls Koodlu Teertha is top rated waterfall of Karnataka district. It is regarded as the first water fall of river Sita and most popular among trekkers and nature lovers. The road of 15 km to waterfall from highway is not in good condition and one need to take trek for 2 km (around 20 to 30 minutes) from parking site. It is better to carry food items with extra clothes and fuel your vehicle at Hebri and there are small shops available near parking site. Wear good clothes and footwear with precautionary measures for the leaches. The short trek is serene and gives hints of the water flowing, at some point you'll be thrilled to hear the pouring water noise. After reaching the waterfall, the breath taking waterfall will cheer your soul. The beautiful waterfall has shallow lake surrounding the waterfall where one can take bath. The surrounding stone formations amid the jungle greenery will certainly your visit more majestic. To reach Kudlu Teertha, use road transport from Udupi to Hebri with 30 km and then another 15 km of bad jungle road, to reach base point. Monsoon is not the right time to visit, as the water level would be higher, causing difficulty for trekkers to trek to the waterfall. The post monsoon will be the better season to visit the waterfall. Please Avoid carrying plastic items and plastic items will be kept in the forest office as the forest is a plastic free zone. happy travelling

AnswerWishlistIt happens in the august month, but landing up there directly and planning your own thing will be much better than going through a package.
Even I am giving it a thought, will let you know if I make my plans.
Hope this helps, Happy travelling :)

You dont really need a package just for Tomatina festival.Either get an itinery for your complete Spain tour and ask your tour operator to include this.
Alternatively you can plan this on your own and go through websites like viator.com,grayline.com,isango to look for a daytrip that includes this.

48 hours means, 2 days/ 1 night. Its almost perfect to discover Hampi Pilgrimage area. You should board bus from Pune (Swargate) to Hospete, which is 12 kms from Hampi. From Hospete you will get bus to Hampi which costs Rs. 16 per head. You can also get auto rikshaw who may charge approx. 150-200. I will suggest you to get print out of maps of Hampi which you can download from hampi.in . First of all visit Matanga Hills from where you can have birds eye view of Hmapi, and then explore Sacred center area on foot. Next day morning leave your room by 7.30 am, rent out a bicycle and explore Royal center area and Vitthal mandir, approx distance 20kms. I am writing my blog which will be completed by this weekend, so there you can find very detail itinerary or DM me on 9423903942 or b2shet@gmail.com

Hey Sudip, Chandrashila is a Deorital chnadrashila peak Trek a d starts from dehradun and first camp is katgaon ... Where as Kedarnath is a Trek which starts from haridwar and the first camp is in Sari ... If you are thinking between two of them, then I would suggest you to take kedarkantha trek first as it's marvellous and much more beautiful if you go before April end as the winter trek here s awesome ... Happy Trekking Bro!!!
