Baga is actually an extension of Calangute beach closer to the North of the Goa coast. The
white sands of the small fishing beach, its proximity to water sports and touristy seaside
comforts tend to attract a fairly large population of visitors from the West. Most of the

Havelock seems to be a rather popular destination for beach bumming in the islands. Since
it is well connected to the capital (Port Blair), the passage and transaction of
tourist-friendly products is much easier than for many of the other beaches, which, as a
result of not being so...

As the name suggests, Cubbon Park is a relic of the British Raj in India. Having found the
plateau climate most favourable, they embraced the land and sowed the seeds of various
non-native plants such as the shady Gulmohar trees which are now very much a part of this
city. The park is...

The Howrah Bridge is an unmistakable landmark of Calcutta. It spans the Hooghly River in
West Bengal, in east India. Besides withstanding the tempers of the weather in the Bay of
Bengal region, it also makes a conspicuous passage for the traffic of life in the city. It
was built...

The safari into this sanctuary sets off early in the morning. During October and later
months there tends to hang a fog during the early hours making visibility low. Quietness
is imperitive and so vehicles are exchanged for a seat atop an elephant. This World
Heritage Site is home to...

Another Sunday, another brunch. This time, at the 24-hour coffee shop called Lido on the
3rd floor of the posh Ista hotel. The café is airy with terrace seating by the pool and
the cityscape in sight. The service was so good the waiters could have been doting on me.

Being unaware of this festival, I missed it by a couple of days when I was passing through
Brussels in August. They were launching the first Tintin Festival (2005) and hoped to
organize it every two years. Some of the festival activities would include a soap-box
race, displays of...

The Beatles may have gone there on a spiritual quest, but I went to Rishikesh for the sole
purpose of getting a real good river rafting trip. If you haven’t booked in advance, you
just have to get to the river and you’ll find many rafting companies to choose from. I

One would think enough has been written and said about the Taj Mahal, and with good
reason. Agra by itself is the exact opposite of what one would expect from a place that is
home to a supposed wonder of the world. Like the rest of the city, the roads that lead to
TM are crowded,...

It was a rainy day when I visited the Belvedere Palace – the drizzle only adds to the
baroque beauty of the edifice that now houses the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere
museum. What seems to be the greater attraction of the palace is its extensive landscaped
gardens. Being situated...

The Zentralfriedhof or Central Cemetery, though located a little outside of the city
centre, is well worth a visit – especially if you have a soft spot for the famous old
classical musicians. The cemetery is huge, spread over more than two square kms and is so
well landscaped that...

Because Dharamshala attracts people from across the globe, the crowds you see especially
around the cultural hub of McLeod Ganj have become multicultural and surprisingly
cosmopolitan. Thus, one comes across some of the most interesting cafes, one of the best
being Lhamo’s Croissant....

Food is never a problem in McLeod Ganj, in fact this is a culinary paradise. It didn’t
take long before I was in Jimmy's Italian Restaurant, easy to spot near the main square.
It was a small, cozy restaurant with great décor – the walls were filled with framed
posters of old Hollywood...

Triund lies at the feet of the perpetually snow clad Dhauladhar mountains at the height of
2975 metres. The snow line starts only 5km from here. The trek up from Dharamkot to Triund
is spectacular and challenging with a view of the first real Himalayan peaks and valleys.

Gokarna, being on the (well-visited) West coast of India, offers an excellent view of the
sunset. On my first visit, a local directed me towards a rock face to catch the best view.
So at twilight I perched myself on a rock jutting seaward and caught a picturesque sunset.

Staying at the tiny Half Crescent beach was one of my most real experiences. The living
quarter was a tiny room – four walls, floor and roof included; a forest hill just behind
and a small terrace farm in front. I had no sleeping bag, but they gave me a straw mat.

residential buildings, restaurants, shops and famous Tibetan institutions that attract

From Vianden town, one can take a ride on a cable car that takes you to the top of the
mountain, across the Loire. The ride is peaceful and runs up the slope between green
mountain foliage as the view gets progressively more beautiful. There seems to be little
to do at the top except...
