Hi, Traveling with a large family using public transport can be an adventure! Here are a few places within a 30-40 km radius of Kukke Subramanya that you could consider visiting for a day trip using public transport: Dharmasthala (approx. 35 km): This is a very well-known pilgrimage center with the famous Manjunatha Temple. It also has a monolithic statue of Bahubali and other attractions like the Annapoorneshwari Temple. You should be able to find regular bus services connecting Kukke Subramanya and Dharmasthala. The journey should take around an hour to an hour and a half. Ujire (approx. 30 km): Ujire is a town on the way to Dharmasthala and is known for the Sri Janardhana Swamy Temple. You can easily club this with a visit to Dharmasthala as it falls on the same route. Buses going towards Dharmasthala from Kukke Subramanya will likely stop at Ujire. Bisle Ghat Viewpoint (approx. 18 km): If your family enjoys nature and scenic views, a visit to Bisle Ghat Viewpoint could be worthwhile. It offers panoramic views of the Western Ghats. However, reaching this place solely by public transport might be a bit challenging, and you might need to rely on local auto-rickshaws for the last leg of the journey from the nearest bus stop. Enquire about bus availability towards Bisle and then the availability of local transport from there.

What are the best off-season destinations in Southeast Asia that offer both cultural experiences and natural beauty without the crowds? I'm planning a 10-day trip in September and would appreciate recommendations.

Kolkata is a city full of soul and history!
For a first-time visitor, I’d highly recommend starting with Victoria Memorial, walking through Park Street for amazing food, and spending an evening by the Hooghly River at Princep Ghat.
Also, don’t miss a visit to Kumartuli – the artisans' district where they make incredible clay idols!

Alice Springs can be a rewarding destination for solo travelers, but safety precautions are essential, especially at night. During the day, the town center is generally safe and welcoming, with plenty of people around. However, at night, caution is advised. Certain areas, like Todd Mall and Gap Road, can become deserted and poorly lit, increasing the risk of opportunistic crimes. To stay safe:
Stick to well-lit and populated areas.
Avoid walking alone late at night; taxis are a safer option.
Keep valuables secure and out of sight. Be mindful of your surroundings, as petty crimes like bag snatching can occur. Alice Springs has a unique charm, but exercising vigilance will ensure a more enjoyable experience. You can download ---> travelladies.app For more travel details my insta id : pradeeprajha

Hi Divya, Both Valley of Flowers and Kashmir Great Lakes are spectacular monsoon treks, but they offer vastly different experiences. Here's a one-paragraph comparison to help you pick the one that actually deserves your monsoon vacation: If you’re dreaming of walking through a technicolor dreamscape, Valley of Flowers is your monsoon fantasy come true—this UNESCO World Heritage Site in Uttarakhand bursts into bloom between July and September, offering an easy to moderate trail filled with over 500 species of alpine flowers, cascading waterfalls, and misty Himalayan views. On the other hand, if you're craving a more rugged, remote adventure, Kashmir Great Lakes is a visual overdose of high-altitude alpine lakes, dramatic valleys, and postcard-perfect meadows—arguably one of India’s most stunning treks. It's longer, tougher, and more isolated, making it ideal for seasoned trekkers. So, if you’re a nature lover seeking a short, floral escape, pick Valley of Flowers; but if your soul’s calling is for raw beauty and a serious trekking challenge, Kashmir Great Lakes will steal your heart (and your breath—in the best way possible).
UpvoteCommentBoth are wonderful, but if you want more variety of landscapes, choose Kashmir Great Lakes

AnswerWishlistOn one flight, I discovered my seat was double-booked, and another passenger had been assigned the same seat. I calmly informed the cabin crew, who quickly checked the seating chart and arranged an alternative seat for me. While initially stressful, the situation was resolved without much hassle, and I learned to always confirm my seat during online check-in. Just Inform to the cabin crew, dont panic on that time, they will arrange for you...
Make it personal, concise, and focused on your ability to handle the situation effectively.
UpvoteCommentHi Shubham, Oh, totally—seat troubles on flights are practically a rite of passage! Whether it's a broken recliner, a non-functional entertainment screen, or the classic middle seat surprise when you booked a window, it happens more often than airlines would like to admit. What I usually do: Politely flag a crew member—they’re often super helpful and might move you to another available seat. If it’s minor (like a faulty tray table), just ask for assistance and work around it. For bigger issues (like someone else in your seat or an unusable seat you paid extra for), talk to the ground staff or gate agent before boarding if possible—they often have more flexibility to reassign seats. And if nothing can be fixed mid-flight? Follow up with the airline’s customer service after landing—you can sometimes get miles, vouchers, or partial refunds if you make a calm and clear case.

You've got to try a Cuban sandwich, stone crab claws, and a cafecito – Miami's iconic flavors!
UpvoteComment
Miami’s food scene is amazing definitely try a Cuban sandwich and some croquetas, especially from Little Havana. Stone crab (if it's in season) is a local favorite too. For drinks, you can’t go wrong with a café Cubano or a fresh mojito. Oh, and don’t skip key lime pie for dessert it’s a classic! Enjoy the flavors!
