Hello Namratha, Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and offers much to explore. There is a long list of offbeat things to do in Sri Lanka. I'd like to share my personal favourites with you. Chug up on the slow blue train that runs between Kandy to Ella. This train offers scenic ride views of tea plantations, intersecting streams, pristine waterfalls, pine forests and mountain tunnels. Visit Galkadawala, which is a small countryside village and Sri Lanka's best-kept secret. This place is a forest lodge with an oasis by the village lake, made up of recycled material. You can spot colourful birds in the mini-forest and savour delicious meals with home-grown veggies.
Do not miss out on enjoying Sri Lanka's rich culinary awesomeness. Try out hoppers with its endless forms, some served with potato curry and coconut sambol. Pol Rotti, Yeast Rotti, Kothu, curries and rice are enough reasons to visit Sri Lanka over again.
Trincomalee, popularly known as Trinco has Sri Lanka's most beautiful beaches - Nilaveli and Uppuveli. This place is located on the east coast and you can spot dolphins and blue whales here. It is a great spot for diving and yet untouched by a flock of travellers.
Hope this helps you to enjoy, just like I did!

Visit in December or January, you can experience snow as well as some snow activities in Manali. Almost everyday boulders fall on roads so no one can't predict that.
UpvoteCommentHello, The best time to visit Manali to experience snow is from mid-December to January. You can enjoy snow activities with the onset of January (first-half). However, snow roadblocks is a matter of chance and completely unpredictable, but snow roadblocks in Manali usually happen in January. Due to the same, tourists are suggested to walk past the areas. Avoid going to Manali in the mid and later days of January. Also, keep a current track of weather conditions while planning, before and throughout the transfers during the tour. Help from a native resident is preferrable for better and clearer information.
Have a safe journey!

Every location is a good location, what matters is the vision. :D
and yes if you are planning to shoot inside the Golden Temple, make sure you have a word with the people once before you start, to prevent future difficulties. being a photographer myself, i suggest you scout the location inside the temple for beautiful angles, especially the ones with reflections. Scouting always helps. happy hunting!

If you are planning to go on scuba diving in pondi then you will be disappointed. Scuba diving is best experienced in Andaman

Atleast 10 to 12k for flight (that is possible by advance booking) for 5 days if you stay in hostel it will be approx 4-5 k for stay. consider 4k for food transportation is the main cost so try going most places by bus or train.

Hi,
February to June (spring and summer) is the best time to visit Dharamshala. The weather is pleasant with a maximum temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Though the other half of the year makes the place look even more beautiful but you should only choose to visit the place in winters if you can bear extremely cold weather.
Please explore our travel guide for detailed information. Link: https://www.tripoto.com/travel-guide/dharamshala

Hi Ashu.. Sorry to hear that. You can lodge your complaint in the consumer forum. They will have to get back to you after that. I had done that previously against another well know travel organizers and they did respond back and offered me compensation.
