  1. Thanks for visiting my blog! I love your idea of sharing your travels. I’ll make sure to stop by often and see what other amazing places you’ve seen.

  2. I agree, to travel is to live and sharing those travels with other people makes you look back and appreciate it a bit more!!

    • Thank You…:)
      I wish I had started writing a lot earlier. But anyway, it doesn’t matter.
      I always travel whenever I get free time…

  3. Thanks for dropping by and following my blog. Loved your travel philosophy! http://bootedtales.wordpress.com/

    Can’t wait for the Kashmir post, after I read “Midnight’s Children” I’ve been wanting to go.

  5. hello, im wondering about the Khajuraho to Raneh Falls trip.. how much is the roundtrip hire for that auto rickshaw? Is it safe to travel that far alone and female? can you recommend your guide there to me? Il be going there this March29,2013

    • The auto round fare was Rs.500 to Raneh Falls.
      I did see a lot of ladies travelling alone. But, I’d suggest not to travel after the sunset. Day times are ok. Also, since Khajuraho is a famous tourist destination, people are really helpful and friendly.
      Its compulsory to have a guide in Raneh falls and your entry ticket takes care of the guide fare. One of many guides there will join you, when you reach the place.

      Hope this was helpful.
      Have a great trip and have fun… 🙂

      Cheers,
      Jibu

    • Thank you
      In winter, Northern Lights is the main attraction in Iceland. It’s not possible to do a road trip due to snow, and also there is just a couple of daylight hours
