Hi,
ohluveli and many others are a good option. but before choosing a resort make sure you can take a ferry by yourself usually the resort's offer transfers by themselves which makes the budget high.
You can plan a trip with Life Holidays & Cruises to Keral from Pune. Their service is good and they have best Kerala tour packages depend on your budget.
Hey Prasanta, You've asked this question at just the right time, because the best time to visit Andaman is about to begin. The ideal time to visit the islands is from November - March. During this time, it's neither raining nor is unbearably hot. If you're planning to visit Andaman, you will definitely want to undertake adventures such as scuba diving and snorkelling. The water is crystal clear during these months , allowing you to explore the underwater world like never before. Lounging on beaches and island hopping also becomes easy since the weather is quite comfortable. If you're looking to plan, do go through the itinerary that I followed to explore Andaman, you will find all useful information here: https://www.tripoto.com/trip/i-had-the-best-trip-of-my-life-in-andaman-island-and-heres-how-you-can-too-5c9cb8da4b176 Hope this helps! Happy travelling, Saumiabee
Hey Arpan, I've read about this issue too. Sadly, a lot of Indian travellers are having to face harassment at the hands of immigration officers in Georgia. Over the last two years, there have been several cases of Indian travellers (solo, families, big groups and even students) being rejected entry in spite of having all visa documents in place. I spoke to a few people and read up blogs by travellers, the situation seems really precarious even now. My suggestion to you would be to not take a chance. There's no point spending so much money and then being denied entry at the airport. I suggest you think about other countries such as Turkey, Bulgria, Czech , Hungary or Romania. Happy travels, Saumiabee
Hi Arpan, You should be fine, unless if you are not okay to stand in a different immigration line and be questioned separately and wait for few mins before the border control officer may let you in. Once you are in You will enjoy georgia.
Hey Vijay, Trichy is absolutely stunning, some trekking routes near the town are Thalaimalai Hills (67km away), Yercaud (169km away) and Pachamalai (88km away). A few trek routes are located slightly away from Trichy, so they aren't ideal for a day trip, but you can easily head to one of these for a weekend getaway. Some treks that you can choose from are Kolli Hills (135km away), Nandi Hills (300 km away). Here are more treks in Tamil Nadu that you can have a look at: https://www.tripoto.com/trip/seven-diy-treks-in-tamil-nadu-5b1d8f66cad99 Hope you have a good time! Best, Saumiabee

There is no direct local transport service to Illikal kallu from kochi. As if you need to travel from kochi to Illikal kallu its better you can connect the routes through public transport services. From cochin you need to take bus service to Thodupuzha , Idukki District. From Thodupuzha you need to travel Muttom around 12km from Thodupuzha . You can find out bus service to this place from Thodupuzha. Then you need to move on to a place named Melukavu. You can find bus or taxi service . Then From Melukavu move on to Erattupettah. From Erattupettah you need to take diversion. You can find out local taxi service to nearby places near Illikal kallu. Its better hire some private taxy service from Erattupettah to Illikal kallu.
In the movie they went for a trek and if you intend to go for a trek KailashRath, Capture A Trip, Wanderon are some good ones. I have been on Sar Pass trek with KailashRath the trek guides were great! You can surely go with them!
