Hampi is beautiful. If you are visiting for the architecture, stay in the main city. You can rent bicycles, two wheelers, or auto rickshaws. If you want a more relaxed and laid back time, cross the river and go to the other side to the 'Hippie Island'. You can read my article to know more about this. Lots of temples in Hampi. You can cover all of them in one day. Watch the sunset at Mathanga hills.

Hi Neha, Some of the best places are Vithala temple, Virupaksha temple, Matanga hills, Elephants stables, Stone Chariot,Hampi baar.
You get auto ,taxi to roam inside the city but they charge little more but transport is good. If you have your own conveyance then you are good to go.Take a guide with you , they explain it really good and you enjoy the heritage much more.

Hi Manas, It does get too cold there in November. You can keep some warm layer of clothing. If need be you can also buy some great warm winter clothes from Kasol as they have several shops selling them and the quality is really good. But November is a great time to be in Kasol as it isn't too crowded. And when you come back, don't forget to share your own marvellous travel story with us. We would love to read!

UpvoteCommentIf you're planning to stay in Kasol, great. You'll need warm clothes, not a lot of layers though.
If you're planning to go higher up in altitude (Tosh, Kheerganga, Kalga, Pulga) you'll need more clothing.
The higher altitude places might even be closed if there is snowfall.

Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in ancient times, it's often called the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos.

Characterized by sandy beaches fringed with palm trees, they're known for their coral reefs just offshore. On the smallest island of Gili Meno, sea turtles swim at Turtle Point. At Gili Trawangan, the largest island, a sunken ship sits at Wreck Point near Mentigi Beach.

Hey Mayank, You can try working in a field where you can combine your love for travel with a skill you can make a living with. Many people in India and around the world work as Travel writers, photographers, filmmakers etc. This is meaningful as they don't only just get to travel but they are also making efforts to show other people what they saw, understood and felt in their journeys via different mediums. People in other countries also go around travelling the world taking up odd jobs in different countries to fund their travels. But with Indian passport we have several restrictions with work holiday visa. There is also a growing tribe of digital nomads in India who work location independent as freelancers, You can understand it as evolved "work from home" where you choose home anywhere in the world with internet. So figure out what skills you need and develop it to pursue your love for travel. You can start writing about your travels to begin with. You can share about the wonderful places you visit here: https://www.tripoto.com/trips/create/ If you want to be a travel writer with us, kindly send your resume with a cover letter on careers@tripoto.com.

Hi Akanksha.
4N5D duration is narrow for rajasthan, believe me even 1 month is not enough. anyways u select a region in rajasthan to get around in 4n5d.
if u r going for the first time then u can go to Jaipur-Ajmer-Bhanghard, but if u want a complete package of heritage n nature then u can follow this Udaipur-MountAbu
3N3D udaipur and 1N2D (including traveling) Mount Abu. if u want to enjoy Camel ride on sand n camping with taste of rajasthan then jodhpur n Bikaner.

It is a town in the southwest Indian state of Karnataka. The centuries-old Sri Manjunatha Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a place of Hindu pilgrimage known for its large statue of the revered figure Bahubali. The Manjusha Museum's eclectic collection includes manuscripts and early wooden chariots. Nearby, the Car Museum features vintage automobiles, including a 1920s Studebaker used by Mahatma Gandhi.

Head to Nagaland, Mizoram (via Silchar), Shillong and much more. You can also visit Kaziranga wildlife sanctuary and see the famous one-horned rhino. You should definitely visit the island of Majuli located near Jorhat, which is the largest river island in the world.

UpvoteCommentThe city of Zurich, a global center for banking and finance, lies at the north end of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland. The picturesque lanes of the central Altstadt (Old Town), on either side of the Limmat River, reflect its pre-medieval history. Waterfront promenades like the Limmatquai follow the river toward the 17th-century Rathaus (town hall).
