Hi! Travellers usually club Munnar and Alleppy with a trip to the Kochi port. You can do the same or spend a couple of days exploring just the quiet town instead. If you are going by road and plan on covering Munnar and Alleppy as well, then this travelogue will come in handy to you: https://www.tripoto.com/trip/in-the-lap-of-god-s-own-country-a-journey-to-thrissur-munnar-allepy-and-port-kochi-2603

Hi Saurav,
Take the Mumbai - Vashi - Kharghar - Kalamboli - Expressway - Khopoli - Pali - Mangaon - Dapoli route. The road conditions are quite good on this route. Via the Mumbai - Pune highway, its about 250km and around 6 hours to complete the journey. The journey up to Dapoli will be extremely scenic, as you will be driving through the ghats and evergreen hills.

How about a total coastal ride???
If excited follow completely a coastal route from Alibag to Dapoli (via Shrivardhan, Dive agar, Harehareshwar,Velas,Kelashi,Harnai ).
You will be having thrilling and mind satisfying route with Coastal roads,Up-Downhill rides and Jetty Ride on the creeks in between.
Obviously,it's a long route, but enjoyable.

Hi, While in Manali, apart from the local sightseeing, you can go for a day trip to Rohtang Pass, go for the Jogini Falls Trek or visit Manikaran and Vaishno Devi. It doesn't snow in Manali in September. Snow is generally around late December or early January only. Same with skiing, it happens around Dec-Jan only. However, there are other adventure activities like trekking and paragliding. However, do check with operators beforehand. Hope this helps!
UpvoteCommentIf you want to see snow and enjoy your day with snow then visit between December to march. Skiing is possible between this period.
UpvoteCommentWant to drive from Gurgaon to Amritsar bit not in one go. Thought of stopping in Patiala, now wondering where to stop on my return? Any suggestions? My wife will accompany we and she would not like a drive for 8-9 hours so though we could stop on the way.

Hi, Gurgaon to Amritsar is approx 500 km . Mid-way is Chandigarh , which is about 4-5 hours drive . You can make a night stop at chandigarh . You can leave for Amritsar early morning, leading to another 4-5 hours drive ahead. Giving you a whole day for amritsar and stay the night as well . If you are planning on going to Golden temple, the best time is early morning around 4-5 am .

Hi,
You can make a stop at any of the big towns like Ludhiana, Ambala for a decent stay.
In Patiala you have a "Moti Bagh palace" to visit and good street market for punjabi suits and juttis.
Chandigarh which is an hour detour but worth it
There is a "Gurudwara Shri Jyoti Saroop Sahib" at Fatehgarh Sahib on your way, but finding a decent hotel near it can be an issue.
Haweli in Jalandhar is also a good option.

Hi. first of all, all the best for you trip.
i have already done trip like this so I'd say it is not impossible to go penniless but it is surely very difficult. Try going alone or with just a partner(not a girl preferably) because cars dont give lifts easily, trucks do mostly and they dont give if there are a lot of people. (max two) Carry as least weight as you can because there'll be time when you'd have to wait or walk for hours (i hope it doesn't come true, but still...) Try keeping a taser in case you have to sleep in a jungle or an open area. it might help you in worst cases. Just for self defence.
And at last it would be really life changing experience. you can read my trip below. how i did "Delhi - Leh Under 2250 INR"

Okay, I see where you're coming from but please remember that this is India and make sure you take care of your safety first. Carry pepper spray and knives. This is not Europe, so people will definitely try to shank you and take your kidneys away. Honest advice, do not let your guard down and all the best.

Hey Isha! It's super easy to add tags to the paragraphs on your itinerary on Tripoto. When you click on the paragraph you want to tag, on the right hand side of the para, you can click on the tag option. over there, type in the country/city/hotel/restaurant that you wish to add. Once tagged, you will be able to see the tag on top of the paragraph you have selected. if you're still unable to find it, let me know and i will send you screenshots to help you do it :)
UpvoteCommentYou can keep adding tags to the trip that you are creating. Just look at the right hand side of the line on which you are typing and you will find that there is an option to tag the particular place (country, hotel, restaurant, etc.) You can choose from the list and add the tag that you want to add to the story that you are writing. Please feel free to search for the place or location that you are looking for patiently as sometime it might take a little more than a few seconds for the place to pop up.

Chopta's weather in September will mostly be pleasant throughout the day and slightly chilly in the night. It is advisable that you carry light full-sleeve tshirts for excrusions in the day and one thick jacket for the night, just in case if it gets colder. You don't need to carry too much of heavy clothing like thermals or fleece jackets.

July, August and September are the monsoon months in Chopta. Weather is pleasant.
UpvoteCommentHi Manish! If you're interested in exploring National Parks in December then one of the best places to go is the Gir National Park in Gujarat. During the winter season, spotting wildlife is much more easier as compared to other months of the year. If you're interested in going absolutely off the radar, explore Ladakh/Kaza in winters. Agreed that it becomes unbearably cold, but if you are well equipped, pick a home-stay and get disconnected from the world. It is a breath-taking experience for those who enjoy solitude. You will get plenty of time and opportunity to interact with the locals, and learn about their culture and lifestyle. Hope this helps!

Hey Satish! There are some experiences that you must not miss out on your holiday... dont want you coming back with the feeling that you could have had more fun! Dont forget to lunch at Luhtu's Coffee Shop in Denpansar, it serves great food, and has an impeccable ambience. You should also visit the local temples in Ubud, and learn how to make offerings like the locals do. It is a great feeling to be close to the culture of the local people, they will appreciate it too! Try spending more than a couple of days in Nusa Lembongan. This little paradise will leave you wanting more of it even when it's time to leave. Explore the beautiful, pristine beaches on this island. Dont forget to go Scuba Diving in Trawangan. You can also try freediving here! Hope this helps!

Hi Dikshita,
Under three hours from Mumbai, Kolad's biggest attraction is the Kundalika River, that offers an assortment of adventure activities, such as kayaking, paragliding and the much sought-after, river rafting. Due to this, numerous travel and adventure companies have camping sites on the riverfront. Some of the options are the following:

UpvoteCommentHi Harjot, While there have been a few landslides recently, the highway is still open and its recommended to be cautious and keep tabs on the weather. Reaching Leh via Srinagar and returning via Manali is a very good option as the traffic through this route will be less, and so will be the number of tourists.
UpvoteCommentHi. goodluck first of all.
since august and September are monsoon time. there is a probability of having very much rains and as we all know more rains more are the chances of landslides. Though currently it is open and you can go for it. Manali - Leh is difficult and more adventurous than Srinagar - Leh. but on the other hand Srinagar route is more easy going and kind of perfect road trip. so you can choose either adventurous or easy going beautiful.
Also you can check my trip how i did my "Delhi- Leh Under 2250" https://www.tripoto.com/trip/leh-couldn-t-have-been-597823ff239db

Hi Shikha, You can reach Leh from Spiti via Keylong. This is the route if you are starting from Delhi: Delhi - Narkanda - Sangla - Kalpa - Nako - Kaza - Chandra tal - Keylong - Leh.
From Keylong, which is the administrative centre of Lahaul and Spiti district, its a 9-10 hour drive spanning 350km wherein you will cross the second highest pass of Tanglang La, Moore Plains, Pang and the Sarchu Gata Loops, to reach Leh in the evening.

AnswerWishlistHi Sudheer,
If you're travelling by bus, you can start in the evening around 7pm, from Majnu ka Tila. You should reach Bhuntar next morning by 7am. Board any local bus from Bhuntar and stop at Manikaran first. After you've visited the Gurudwara and the surrounding market in Manikaran, you can head to Kasol, via a local bus. Tosh, which is an hour away by taxi, needs at least a day to be explored properly. Kalga, a beautiful village, is an hour away from Tosh, and can be reached via an easy trek or a local taxi. Both Kheerganga and Malana, are a day's trek away from Kasol. Rasol, is accessible only via trek, and will take you around 4 hours.
