Hey Deeksha, You can visit Kashmir In winters but weather will be very cold and harsh there. On the other side it will be more beautiful,peaceful,less crowded and budget trip. Pack your winter clothes like jackets,inner warmers,woolen socks,gloves,woolen cap,moisturizer,first aid kit etc. Main thing in Kashmir is road trips (Srinagar->Pahalgam and Srinagar -> Gulmarg). And stay at houseboat in Dal lake for at least one night. Nearest airport to Srinagar is Srinagar International Airport (15KM far from city). Hope this would help you.

If you traveling by train then book your tickets to NJP or if you traveling by flight then book flight to Bagdogra. after reaching your station/air port, you should book share taxi to Darjeeling. stay at Darjeeling for 2 days. 1st day book a cab will cost 3.5k to visit Tiger Hill, Ghum monastery, Rock garden etc. and on 2nd day book a journey on world heritage Toy train.. If you are "foodie" then you have to visit Keventers ( for breakfast), sonam' kitchen (breakfast), Glenary's Bakery Resturant & Pub ( for dinner).. this is my personal suggestion.. on 3rd day start your journey as early as possible.. on the way to Sikkim you must visit "lamahatta" & "Tin Chulya" one of the most beautiful villages in Darjeeling.. you can spent some time over there.. after reaching Sikkim take some rest.. In Sikkim you must visit Yumthang valley, Gurudambar lake, Rumtek monastery, Khecheopalri Lake, Tashi View Point etc etc..

Hello Joe Mathew,I will be happy to answer your travel queries from my experience ☺️. *Known for its idyllic beaches and pristine waters, Gokarna is a favorite among travelers who seek a peaceful vacation. It is the more laid-back and less commercialized version of Goa. Other than the famous Om beach, it has Kudle beach and the more secluded Half Moon and Paradise beach. *Gokarna from kerela takes 15 hours by road , 17 hours by train with a cost of 1400 and 1hour,20 mins from kannur to Gokarna .and a bus journey takes 24 hours to reach the place . *roadtrips of this route will have many great views and Is much preferred over any other means. *Goa and Gokarna both are amazing beach destinations in India. Gokarna is comparatively less crowded than Goa, as a lot of people still do not know of this amazing place. If one is looking for a lesser crowd, then Gokarna is a great place to visit. *Alcohol is officially banned due to the town's religious significance but you won't have a problem getting a cold beer on the beach. ... Om beach has water sports. You can also go surfing and take lessons at Gokarna's main beach. Or, if you fancy, ride a camel along the sand. *if you are looking for good deals,I have a suggestion for you,I just checked online and found that there are some great deals for Gokarna available on tripoto itself. do check this link https://www.tripoto.com/gokarna/tour-packages HAPPY TRAVELLING 💗

Hi, if you are visiting for a shorter duration than 60 days you can apply for E-tourist visa. This will cost you around $50, but if you are getting it through an agent it will cost you a little extra.

Hey Isham, No, It isn't safe to camp on your own in Thar desert. First thing you will not be allowed to pitch tent in the desert ( hopefully you take Jaiselmar as desert camping place). But you can book Camps in Sam village. And if you have more days in Jaiselmar then book a desert hiking package ( 5 days camel desert safari passing through jungles and no man area; Camping in desert under open sky every night with bonfire and going up to last village on India-Pakistan border). Hope this would help you.

Hello Himanshu, I'll be happy to clear out your travel queries from my experience ☺️. *A wonder to behold, with an air which not only mystifies your sense but makes you live in the impulses of life, Kasol is a village mothered by the Parvati valley. This Himachal's popular destination is best known for its thrilling treks, flavorsome food, roaring river and heartfelt humanity and to make this tour more memorable the journey to reach this place too must be great . *The nearest railway station is Joginder Nagar Railway Station which is 144km from Kasol. If you are wondering how to reach Kasol by train, then you can take a train to Joginder Nagar Railway Station and from there you can hire a cab to take you to Kasol. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Joginder Nagar Bus Stand which will take you to Manikaran which is very close to Kasol. *To reach Kasol by road, you have to get on to the NH-3 which is the main road that leads to Kasol on its way to Manali. The road journey to Kasol is full of scenic views and delightful little surprises along the way. Many people choose to drive as the experience can be quite different and refreshing *The nearest airport is the Kullu Manali Airport, also known as Bhuntar Airport. Bhuntar is around 30kms from Kasol and you can hire a cab or a taxi to take your from Bhuntar to Kasol, once you land at the airport. There are daily flights which connect Delhi to Bhuntar and are operated by several major domestic airlines. *I just checked online and found that there are some great deals for kasol available on tripoto itself, do check this link out https://www.tripoto.com/kasol/tour-packages HAPPY TRAVELS 👍
