Hi Saurabh, since you will be crossing over from Italy, it is better to start in Lucerne. Spend a day there before moving on to Zurich. Spend a couple of days in Zurich visiting Lake Zurich, Grossmu?nster cathedral and the lively bar scene. From Zurich, make your way to Basel. Spend a day in Basel checking out museums, little churches, and the regular markets. From there, head to Bern for a day of exploring UNESCO-listed old town. Spend the next two days in Lausanne and Geneva to experience prime Alps scenery.

April to Oct is best time to go. if you are planning now it is best as after Oct it becomes too cold and few places like lake and garden can't be visited. Srinagar house boat book it there itself. If you are planning for gulmarg please book gondola tickets beforehand as if you try to book on spot you have to wait in huge queue. Other places are Pahalgam,Sonmarg (zero point),Sinthan.

Hi Pratyay, excellent choice. That part is one of the most scenic parts of West Bengal. Start your trip in Kalimpong. Spend a couple of days exploring Kalimpong. Visit Zong Dog Palri monastery, Cactus Nursery and Deolo Hill. On the third day, visit the mountain villages of Lava and Rishop. Both villages are a delight for nature lovers and bird watchers and can be covered in a day. On the fourth day, visit Lolegaon, a beautiful Lepcha village of scenic splendour. There you can take the canopy walk, visit the Eco Park and look for Kanchenjunga from the Jhandi Dara viewpoint. On your fifth and last day, visit Sillery Gaon and its main attractions: Damsung Fort, Ramitay View Point and Silent Valley.
I generally shortlist the stays that are closer to each other and book the best one on reaching the place. This approach is a little risky and cannot be done if travelling with family as sometimes it might not be available when u reach. Luckily I haven't had any hard luck.
Hi, I would suggest to first find a place where you can stay for cheap or even volunteer and stay for free. Try places in the mountains or in the South of India, where you can live with locals.
Go on shoestring budget trips. Take up volunteering jobs so that stay becomes free. Use couchsurfing. Travel to the cheaper destinations. Always use local transport.
Just start without thinking too much.start your blog with your past travel expirence . and then plan ...travel...write... I think you will get your own way to pursue your passion as a career. be positive and have patience ..best of luck
Instead of you going to abroad, you can start from Northeast India and it's like a foreign country only.. For sample like Scotland, Switzerland. You can start Sikkim to Darjeeling to Assam to Meghalaya to Arunachal to Manipur to Kolkata to Delhi to Himachal to Rajesththan to South India. For more details ping me
Hi Manas, average accommodation cost for three people is Rs. 2,100 per night. Food cost per person is about Rs. 300 for three meals a day. So, that comes out to be Rs. 1,000 per person per day. Add the cost of petrol based on your car mileage and number of miles you will travelling and you will get your approximate total cost per head per day. Multiply that by the number of days you going to spend in Meghalaya and you have total cost of the trip per head.
