The process of booking a package from Tripoto is very smooth. Their internal Travel Consultant team understands our requirement in depth and then the query is sent to their verified travel partners who can customize our trip to as per our requirement. The pricing and range of customisation from the package providers is definitely a USP. Also, you can always reach out to the Travel Consultant team from Tripoto if you face any problem in booking the package. I booked for Maldives-- had a great experience!

For Indian nationals permit to enter Sikkim is not needed. However if you are visiting protected area then, you have to obtain permit. Say if you are visiting Nathula pass, Yumthang valley and Gurudongmar lake.

Why do you think it's fraud? A lot of people buy tickets online. It's airline tickets or bus tickets. It doesn't matter. I was just as distrustful as you and thought the Internet was a scam, but recently I've changed my mind and you know what helped? A virtual game! In my favorite game I found a site where you can check a players stats https://fpstracker.com/warzone-tracker/ and it turned out to be true

Here are 7 things to do on a layover at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport.
1. Eat
2. Relax in an airport lounge
3. Shop
4. Head into Bangkok for sightseeing The airport is located about 30 km east of Bangkok, but it’s a quick trip if you’ve got 6 or more hours between flights. There’s two ways to do it: join a tour or do it yourself. Bus tour operators take travellers into the city center for city highlights or a focused theme, like temples, shopping, or cultural experiences. Book ahead of time or visit the booking desk at the Arrivals Floor where Concourses C, D, and E intersect. If you’d rather do it yourself, taxis connect to the heart of the city pretty quickly and cheaply. Metered taxis are located at Level 2 Arrivals, entrances 3-4, 7-8). Our must-see spots include the Grand Palace, the ornately designed home of the Thai King, which dates to 1782, and Wat Pho, one of Thailand’s most famous Buddhist temples, particularly known for its 15-meter high gold-coated Reclining Buddha (try to fit him in one picture!). You can explore both locales at your leisure, though do give at least 1 hour to make it worthwhile. If you’d rather check out the backpacking scene, head to the Khao San Road, a busy place where street noodles, beer buckets, and Thai massages are cheap and available any time of the day or night. If the humidity and heat are getting to you, Bangkok’s massive malls are a cool respite: Siam Paragon and CentralWorld Siam are especially popular, both located on the BTS Skytrain. For more ideas, check out our Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Layover Sightseeing article. 5. Unwind in the spa
6. Surf the Internet
7. Get Some Sleep Travellers can typically get away with sleeping in this airport, but you certainly won’t be the only one camping out! There’s a decent amount of armrest-free seating, and you may luck out with a more private spot. Overnight sleepers report some of the best spots to hang are the Observation Deck on the 7th Floor, seats near the Subway and 7-Eleven on B Floor, the area around the prayer room in the International Zone, and the basement between Doors 7-10. It can get loud and cold, depending on your spot, so bring a sweater or blanket and ear plugs. If you’re more inclined to spend some cash for a good sleep and privacy, the Miracle Transit Hotel (Concourse G, 4th Floor) rents day rooms for 6-12 hours, and the Boxtel (Airport Link, Basement Floor), offers rooms in 4-hour increments. Otherwise, many hotels are located within a few minutes’ drive from the airport, and some provide free shuttle service. See our Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Guide for locations and details.
UpvoteCommentWith so much time in hand, here are a few things you do during your layover at Suvarnabhumi airport. Khao San road is a shoppers paradise with Thai cuisine to taste. It’s half an hour away from the airport. Erawan shrine is dedicated to Lord Brahma which is 25kms away from the airport
Grand palace is 27days away on the banks of River Chao Phraya
Paragon mall is 25kms away where you could window shop, see the aquarium and try some Thai cuisine. Inside the airport you could get a spa done, just relax in the lounges, eat to your hearts content, surf using airport Wi-Fi and shop more at floor 4.

Now is an ideal time to visit Tawang for the weather is too pleasant filled with serene atmosphere and warm sun. Though day temperature runs till 20 degree Celsius, nights are cold. For Sikkim summers that is now is an ideal time to visit. You might find the temperature warm though not too hot and scorching, nights are cool. An ideal time to trek, river raft and paraglide. You get to view gushing white falls, lush green and peaks.

Hi,
For Dalhousie and Khajiar, you can stay at Dalhousie itself and visit Khajjiar for the day. There is only one guest house in Khajjiar and people are not allowed to leave shelter after dark because wild animals visit the water hole....will share a very pretty Homestay that's immensely affordable for Dalhousie but it has 100 stairs... to reach up from the road. If you agree, will share. For Dharamshala, we stayed at HPTDC property and travelled to Mcleodganj daily so don't know any other. Thanks

Rishikesh is all about the relaxation that you could get hold of from the busy schdule of life this is just a peaceful go threw which could charge you for a long period of time to struggle with the daily hustle of life. Its all about to live in and enjoy the natural beauty, to have massages to relax your body and undo all the stress that you got from your daily chores, meditation session to work on your inner self, there many ashrams over there to stay you could choose according to your beliefs or community as many ones that are favour some community and the food near those ashrams belong to that community only for example if you are staying in Ashram which belongs to a south indian community you can easily see a Idli Sambhar Dosa shop around it to have your meals. So Rishikesh have everything that you need just it depends upon your needs. But i recommend you to must have Langer in Gurudwara Sahib. The places to visit are Ram Jhulla, laxman Jhulla, triveni ghat, many ashrams for meditation and massage centers, Beatles ashram is also there but the entry is costly. Hoping it would help you to choose what you want to see. as you have a long stay you could have learn a good yoga, massage, meditaion over there.
good luck for your visit
