Hi gurpreet You can choose between the government ferry or a private liner to travel between Port Blair and Havelock. Ways to book tickets tickets are available online . For the government cruise see Green Ocean and private liner Makruzz see MakruzzYou can also book tickets in the office located near to the jetty. But there is always a big queue for it and you will have to plan for it well ahead.The best option to book tickets for the same is through your travel agency for it saves a lot of waiting

UpvoteCommentHi Smriti, the best time to visit Northeast India is from September to April. In some ways, you can say that besides Sikkim most of NE India is unexplored. Yet, here are some places that you might fancy: Ujjayanta Palace (Tripura), Champhai (Mizoram), Umshiang (Meghalaya), Khonoma (Nagaland), Loktak Lake (Manipur), Majuli (Assam) and Bomdila (Arunachal Pradesh).

Hi, you should plan for a 10 day Delhi-Manali-Leh trip. The best time to do this trip is from end of August to mid-October. It will take you two to three days to reach Leh from Delhi depending on how long you drive for. You can spend the first night in Manali and second in Jispa. Reserve five days for Leh and surroundings. The places to visit in and around Leh are Nubra Valley, Turtuk, Pangong Lake, Khardung-La Pass and Hemis. For your return trip you can either backtrack the same way you came or go via Srinagar. Places to visit in and around Srinagar are Dal Lake, Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, Gulmarg and Sonmarg.

Hi Meet, Saputara is a hill station and the road from Surat involves some steep climbing. An Activa is not the best option since it may not have enough horsepower to climb the height and if you get stuck then you are in a pickle. I would say take a bike.

Hi Mrunal, one offbeat idea could be to entirely avoid Mcleodganj. You can opt for other places in Kangra like Kareri Lake, Dal Lake, and the Kangra Fort. Elsewhere in Himachal, you can probably visit Kinnaur Valley or Sangla Valley. Spiti Valley is also worth visiting if you have time on your hand.

Yes you will easily get bikes there and palampur is not very far so up down is possible
UpvoteCommentAugust is the best time to visit Valley of Flowers. But, July isn't too bad either. Only downside of traveling in July is that rains could lead to landslides which might cause delays. And, it is a bit tougher to do the trek in the rains.
UpvoteCommentThe nearest airport is in Jolly Grant, Dehradun, 295 kilometers (183 miles) away, and the nearest railway station is in Rishikesh, 276 kilometers (171 miles) away. The closest you can get to The Valley of Flowers by road is Govind Ghat. This requires around an 11 hour drive to Joshimath from Dehradun, then another one hour to Govindghat. From Govindghat, it is a 13-kilometer (8.1 miles) trek along a steep, narrow, but well defined mountain trail to base camp at Ghangaria. This will take between 4 and 8 hours. From Ghangaria, another 3 km trek leads to the valley.

Hi Vipin, Best places to visit during Monsoon in Himachal Pradesh are Shimla and Manali as fog and greenery turn these places to heaven.

It could be something to do with the new algorithm which means that you need to connect more with the Instagram community. In terms of taking a lot more time to follow/like other users with similar content/interests and engage with content e.g more commenting. If you havent changed anything else, Id say it could be the 2018 algorithm changes.
