We Have Ruined Kasol Forever. But Is It Too Late To Save Parvati Valley?

Can't say about unimpressed but I was really heartbroken when I went to Kasol after a gap of nearly 5 years. I even wrote an article about it.

Hi thanks for answering my 1st question. One more thing i want to ask is about umlinga pass. Can we cover this pass if we start our journey from manali side? And the route is different from normal route? Or any other info u can provide about it?

From whatever I have read about it, it seems quite feasible from Manali side. I found this link that might help you out further: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/street-experiences/192072-umling-la-highest-motorable-road-world.html

When visiting a new town, what according to you is the best possible way to learn about the local way of life, the culture, the quirks and eccentricities native to that region?

Hi Sonalika! Great question! I think taking the local transport, hanging out in the same haunts as locals and chatting up with anyone and everyone, is a great way to observe a community from within. I had a lovely experience in Udaipur where I started off with jewellery shopping and ended up attending Ganesh puja at the shopkeeper's home.The real power to travel lies in conversations.

Mostly if you’re with a tour guide he’ll explain it to you. If not, asking localities would help you learn about their culture better rather than internet. Like if you’re travelling by auto or something, just asking the driver normal questions about traffic and transport would be a good conversation starter. Hope this was helpful

Why don't you book your Jaipur trip with a travel agency, it will be reasonable. I once planned my Classical Rajasthan Tour with a travel agency named Joy Travels. And it cost me around 20 thousand.

Tirunelveli - the Nellai Town 1. Name itself gives the first and best thing to Visit. Yeah, the amazing Nellaiappar Temple. 2. Next thing is just waiting outside the temple door. Taste the Delicious Hot Iruttu Kadai Halwa served in plantain leaf (Timings - Evening 4pm - 7pm). Don't forget to pack some :P 3.Take a tour of Tirunelveli town and visit the river bank of Thamirabarani. 4. Visit Courtallam Falls for nature retreat and fill your tummy at famous Parotta shop (Courtallam Border Rahmath Kadai) 5. Visit Papanasam to enjoy serenity of nature. Drive to Karayar dam and enjoy some leisure time at SoriMuthu Ayyanar temple Riverbank (Upper river bank of Agastiyar falls) 6. ManiMuthaar Dam and Waterfalls.
