Hi. At Tirumala, after Darshan, u can visit "Shila Thoranam" (Natural rock Arch. belief is that Lord Balaji entered through this Arch), Kapila Theertham (holy pond), "paapa vinaashanam" (used to be a sacred natural one but currently an artificial water fall), and there are at least 10 temples/theerthams on the Tirumala Hills... you can also visit few more temples in Tirupati including "Govindarajulu Temple", "Srinivasa Mangapuram", "Padmavati ammavari Temple, Tiruchanur" and ISKON Temple. If you have time, you can visit "Sri Kalahasthi Temple" (known as Dhakshina Kailasam) @ 35km from Tirupati and "Kanipakam Vinayaka Temple" @65km.. since you are planning to go in March/April, pls note : that being the post examination & early days of summer vacations, will be over crowded - be prepared for longer ques. summer will be too hot in that region. Pls take care of yourself.. Be hydrated...

Hey hi.. There are plenty of islands to stay in Maldives.. I suggest that you can spend one day on a beautiful expensive resort and the other days at a normal resorts.. Expensive resorts can be Like
1) Medufushi Island Resort - 14k / night
2) Season Paradise Hotel - 8k 3) Kuredu ISland Resort - 8k etc etc.. It all depends on your budget.. There are some islands which have scuba diving or they mqy take you to another island by speed boat for scuba diving.. The locals also arrange candle light dinner date on the shore... You can do cycling.. sea walking.. as such there are not much water sports.. all you need to do there is relax and enjoy the beach.. I stayed on an island called Ukulhas..which was far away from the Male Island.. it has secluded beaches with almost no tourist.. it was like the beach was only for us..
The permission cost isn't much for the bike. getting it from the commissioners office is a task. There are two permissions required. one from Manali to Leh. the other one from Leh to pangong tso. the cost is hardly 600-700 per bike.
I have been to pachmarhi from nagpur by hiring zoom car... even the road drive is superb...waterfall, sunrise point and the lush green valleys are the main attractions here...
It can be done 2-3 days.
most of the places are under Tiger reserve and there are itinerary placed accordingly by forest officers.
It would require a lot of trekking to many places Choragarh temple,duchess fall (recommend),bee fall,silver fall , dhoopgarh, jata shankar.
these places can be covered during the stay.
also 70 km from pachmarhi you can also visit Satpura tiger reserve through madhai gate(take churna route) for that booking can be done online.
There are such places at every corner of the city. Keep your eyes open when you walk in the streets you can find immense options and also at very affordable rates. Booking previously can actually cost you more
There are many budget hotels in both the places. for digha November to march is great time. if you are travelling from kolkata, then the per head expense for both of the places is around 5k for two days.
Best way to Reach Sou is by Car from Vadodara.
The Ticket charges are 350/- for normal tickets and 1000/- for express tickets.
i highly recommend purchasing the express tickets otherwise you'll be wasting a lot of time in a queue.
