Hey Priyanka, Here are few places in Manali I would suggest for a budget you have got:- Hidimba Devi temple: - an ancient cave temple dedicated to Hidimba Devi, wife of Bhima. This ancient temple stands by a dense cedar forest, which is a surprise in the otherwise touristy Manali. The forest cover around Hidimba Devi Temple is impressively thick, sunlight failing to touch the ground at many places. Rohtang pass:- You can easily rely upon bus service to and from Rohtang pass. The fare of Rohtang Pass electric bus is Rs. 600 per person for a return journey to Manali. You can buy your ticket from the counter at bus stand or book it online. The entire amount will be payable upfront and will include your ticket for Manali to Rohtang and then the return journey to Manali. Museum of Himachal culture and Folk Art: - The Museum of Himachal Culture & Folk Art is one of Manalis major tourist attractions. The museum is a treasure of collection of traditional heritage from different parts of Himachal Pradesh since 1990.Address:- Utopia Comlex, Near Hadimba Temple, Hadimba Temple Rd, Siyal, Manali, Himachal Pradesh 175131. Himalayan Nyinmapa Tibetan Buddhist monastery: - Nestled around the busy market and Mall road is this blissful Buddhist Temple. Entering the temple you feel cut off from all the world. You can feel a sense of tranquillity. Must visit. Van Vihar National Park: - At a distance of 750 m from Manali Bus Stand, The Van Vihar is a municipal garden situated in front of the Tibetan market on the Mall Road, Manali.
Vashisht temple with hot springs:- Vashisht village is a green patch of steep hill hanging at the base on a cliff, is 6 km from Manali at the banks of the Beas River opposite Old Manali. Vashisht is reachable from Manali by half an hour walk or a short drive up a slanting road by Auto Rickshaw for Rs.50. The Gadhan Thekchoking Gompa: - At a distance of 250 m from Manali Bus Stand, The Tibetan Monastery is situated near the Mall in Manali. Tibetan Monastery is one of the oldest and famous places in Manali. Manali Bazaar and Mall road for window shopping The stays in manali hostels depends on the availability, which you can check through their website link here:- http://www.hostels.com/manali/india Happy Travelling!!!

Probably the most sensitive topic, but this is seriously one of the most common. Let's face it, an African safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Make it special. By cutting corners you could end up with a very disappointing experience. Obviously, there are budget options and good operators can advise you about areas where you can save. Please be super cautious about offers that seem incredibly cheap - there is a very good reason why they are. I would suggest a 3 to 5 Days safaris with two accommodation options or a combination of the two:- -Mid Range Accommodations (Such as Lilac camp, Endoro Lodge, Tarangire Safari Lodge, Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge, Serengeti Halisi Camp, Kati Kati Tented Camp, Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge, Ngorongoro Farm House and many others)
- & Bush Camping. Prices can range from $ 250 PPPD upto $400. All inclusive except flights to Tanzania, Visa & Guide Tips which can be around $30/day (This is not per person, but it can be divided ,between a group too) OPTIONAL.

Many individuals are fascinated by the thought of going on a safari in Tanzania, but many don't enjoy the concept of spending the entire trip in a car. Luckily, there are lots of opportunities to walk outside, stretch your legs, and truly experience the sights and sounds of this gorgeous country for the discriminating safari traveller searching for something a little different! Tanzania has a wonderful climate for the majority of the year, making it a year-round tourism destination. The greatest time to go on a safari in this country is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. https://travelsolidarity.tours/safari-itineraries/

Hey Etcfun, I am sure you can carry gimbal on flights. You can wrap it up in its case neatly and see that you carry it along with your hand baggage. A bag case with a nice compartment that can hold your normal essentials you need to carry can suffice the need. Usually no flight staff or attendant will ask you to weigh it. Never log it into check in luggage, as I guess you are aware of bag throwers .... Happy Vlogging and Travelling bro !!!

Yes, you can carry along your gimbal with you in hand baggage. While air-travel, I have always been carrying my GoPro gimbal in my backpack inside the headover cabin.
UpvoteCommentHey Afsarul, Indians do not require a visa to visit Nepal. Just show a valid Identity proof of your citizenship to the police at the border check-post and move into Nepal. Though if you are traveling by your own car or bike, then you may need to obtain documents from the concerned authorities. Reach the Indian passport office in Sunauli to get your exit stamp in Gorakhpur. Walk to the border, about 12-15 minutes further on. Cross over under the archway and go to the Nepal immigration office on the right. A Nepalese visa is USD 25. You must pay for this in USD, no other currency is accepted. You are now in Bhairawa on the Nepalese side of the border. You might require one of these documents to produce at the Nepal border:- Passport Voter I-card Driving licence I-card issued by any government authority A letter issued by the Nepalese embassy Documents required entering Nepal with own vehicle Registration Certificate of vehicle Driving license Customs permit (called Bhansar in Nepali) Vehicle Permit (called yaatayaat anumati in Nepali) There is a different fee for a car and a bike. Also, fees depend on the number of days.
For Bike NPR - 100 per day.
For Car NPR - 400 per day. Happy Travelling in Nepal!!!

UpvoteCommentHey Amir, Well, Uttarakhnad is one of the most sought destination in India during winters. As an answer to your question there are many places to visit in this lovely state. I would answer it from the best to visit in an order and you can select the one you would like to visit... 1. The first I would suggest is Auli - The favourite Skiing destination of India. You can experience the best skiing fun here even as an amateur. there are many adventure companies who give away skiing packages if booked early. So, the things you can do here are Skiing, trekking, gondola rides, and camping. Buses do ply from Rishikesh and Joshimath to Auli. Stay Options:- Tattva Resort, Auli Nature camp, Auli Adventure camp, Mountain Rover hotel and many more .... 2. The second I would suggest is Chaukori:- Thsi under rated destination of Uttarakhand is a land of mighty Himalayas and famous for its tea gardens. Nestled in the lap of Himalayas, this place is 180 kms from Kathgodam railway station. Nanda Devi, Panchachuli, Nanda Kot, Trishul, and Chaukhamba are distinctly visible from this tiny hamlet. Stay options:- Misty Mountains Resort, Chestnut Grove Himalayan Lodge, and KMVN Tourist Rest House. 3. The third I would suggest you to visit is Khisru :- This one of the must visit prime destination in Uttrakhand in winters is located in Pauri Garhwal district, and is best for both solo and romantic getaways. Thsi would be a laid back destination, just to sit back and enjoy the majesticity of Himalayas. Stay options:- Government guest houses and bungalows are available. GMVN Khirsu Tourist Bungalow and Sahil Shikhar. 4. The fourth I would suggest is Rudraprayag:- Infamously called as 'land of Shiva, Rudraprayag lies at the confluence of the rivers Alaknanda and Mandakini. It is a pitstop for the Kedarnath & Badrinath piligrims. Also a best place to do water rafting on Ganges. The Rudranath Temple, Chamunda Devi Temple, Koteshwar, and Basukedar are important places to visit in Rudraprayag. Stay options:- There are many government hostels to cheap guesthouses making it easy and affordable to stay in Rudraprayag. 5. The fifth i would suggest is a trek named Kedarkantha trek:- This is a 6 to 7 day trek which opens up into what called as 'The best winter trek' by India Hikes. Kedarkantha makes for a terrific trek in virgin snow, with pretty campsites and astonishingly wide clearings in the forests. The drive to Kedarkantha takes you through Mussoorie, Nowgaon, Purola and Mori before finally bringing you to Naitwar. It is a remote route so exquisite that it is one of the most beautiful drives in the Indian Himalayas. Right from the Kedarkantha base camp, youll see stunning 360 degree views of famous mountain summits and are jaw dropping. Book this awesome trek through India Hikes :- https://indiahikes.com/kedarkantha/ Happy Winter Travelling!!!

You can go to Dehradun, Mussoorie and Rishikesh or choose a totally offbeat destination like Almora or Auli. Also Landour is very serene place just a few kilometers away from Mussoorie.

If you are travelling from shimla aise jio, vodafone and airtel works well for both internet and calls till Reckong Peo almost till the end of military settlement der. Once you cross that it's only BSNL which connects you to the outer world. Even BSNL won't save you between losar and gramphoo, so you are without any connectivity in kunzom top, Chandertal, Batal and Chatru .... See that BSNL accompanies you for the major part in Spiti valley. there are many bike rental and car rental companies in chandigarh and delhi who also give away Der BSNL sim fot your trip. On my trip to spiti Joginder Singh of Rana Cabs had provided me bsnl prepaid sim. Happy Travelling bro !!!

UpvoteCommentHi Tannu,
Uttarakhand experiences Autumn season from September-November and thus the weather is absolutely perfect to travel any where in the state. Uttarakhand is divided in to two major parts - Garhwal and Kumaon. Following places you can choose as per your interest. For adventure & offbeat - Start from Rishikesh, indulge in water sports such as rafting and body surfing. Next morning go for Flying Fox or Bungee Jumping activities. Head towards Kanatal for camping and go for nature walks. Enroute Kanatal do visit Tehri Dam. Next morning go for Surkanda Devi trek. For Leisure - Start from Bhimtal, Mukteshwar and Binsar. The journey from Mukteshwar towards Binsar is just fabulous. Happy travelling!

UpvoteCommentHey, Yessss, you can cover Jodhpur in one day in this way.... 9.00 am - Umaid Bhawan palace museum
with all the vintage cars....one hour here ... 10.30 am - Mehrangarh fort or famously called as citadel of sun would take your 3 hours easily to explore. 2.00 pm - Rao jodha desert park - This 72 hectare park takes an hour to visit which suits next to Mehrangarh fort. 3.30 pm - Jaswant thada - Taj Mahal of Marwar , would take 45 minutes of your day. 5.00 pm - Mandore garden located 10 Kms from Mehrangarh fort is worth a visit for its lush green gardens, and this would take an hour and hence bringing your day trip in Jodhpur to an end. Hope this information helps you to plan your trip.... Happy Travelling!!!
UpvoteCommentYou can cover major places, but it will be more like touristy way. However if you only have one day, that can also be enough for you to have a glimpse of Jodhpur and call you back again soon.

rovinglegs
AnswerWishlistHey Rovinglegs, Got this information online, Hope it's true with details.... The cost of Elefantastic is rs.5000 per person for below activities with Elephant Up close & personal with the Elephants - (Starts at 2 pm until 7 pm) Introduction: First contact is always important! When meeting an elephant for the first time you have to let them catch your smell. Make them feel comfortable by stroking and talking to them while looking into their eyes. Let the elephant feel your energy and spirit. Elephant language: You might be surprised to know that there is a certain language to communicate with the elephants. To be able to understand them you have to learn the basics of this language. Feeding: You might have heard of the saying love goes through the stomach? Well, elephants are no exception. Feeding is the easiest way to gain their trust. For a couple of hours you will get a chance to feed them while learning their feeding habits, and what they enjoy eating the most. Painting: Learn about the completely natural paint that is used to paint the thick elephant skin. Learn how to create a traditional painting on the elephants face. If your not great at drawing dont worry, we can paint the outlines on their face if you like and then you fill in the gaps with the colors of your choice. Bareback Ride : Wed like to offer our guests a chance to ride our elephants without a saddle. Most elephant rides incorporate a large saddle, which offers some added comfort, which many guests prefer, but for an even closer experience with our elephants well teach you how to ride without the saddle. Learn how to ride on its neck, and communicate through different spoken commands Washing : In the late afternoon it is time to get up on the elephant back (Bareback) for a ride to the Elephant Lake. The lake is located just next to the farm and once there you will swim, wash and scrub the elephants. and play with them. A Walk: After the Introduction, Feeding and Painting there is nothing more pleasant than a sunset jungle safari. Around 5 pm you will take a relaxing one hour ride through the amazing jungle. You can book a slot for you by contacting them directly here:- http://www.elefantastic.in If you can book and enjoy your adventure with elephants, don't forget to share that piece of information with us here on Tripoto.... Happy Travelling!!!
