Hyderabadi Adventure Asia » India

Carla and Ashley Arrive in Hyderabad ! July 6th Went to get Carla at airport at 8am, an event that was of high-intensity considering instances of missed flights in the recent past! BUT, she did us all proud and made it ! The drive back with my Uncle and Carla was made interesting by two "transvestite" beggars - they were clearly men just pretending to be transvestites. They saw the gori (white girl) in the back seat and were knocking on our windows at a traffic light. Only in India! After Carla awoke from a 2hr nap, we went to [View Full Entry]

Dandeli - Rafting the Kali river Asia » India » Karnataka » Dandeli

all grps

These were the 30 odd out-bound learning programmes (covering over 500 employees) that I conducted along with my favourite travel partners 'Foliage Outdoors' at Dandeli.... A little bit about the place, just in case you dont know.... Dandeli is a natural habitat for wildlife. Dandeli Jungle Safari in open jeeps into the Dandeli wildlife sanctuary accompanied by trained naturalists are the best way to view wildlife here. It is home to big cats such as tigers, leopards, and even black panthers, elephants, gaur, deer, antelopes, many kinds of reptiles and a rich variety of birds. Those [View Full Entry]

Moins de 24h en Inde... Asia » India

... et deja des images, des sons, des gouts et des odeurs plein la tete! A mon arrivee a Bangalore, vers minuit heure locale, j'ai saute dans un taxi pour aller chez Devi qui avait offert de m'heberger chez elle. En fait de canape, elle me cede carrement son appartement qui est au dernier etage de la maison de ses parents et descend dormir a leur etage. Grande chambre, salon, cuisine, salle de bain, je suis plus qu'a mon aise pour dormir! Mais malgre la fatigue le sommeil ne vient pas. L'excitation, bien sur, mais aussi tous ces bruits etranges que [View Full Entry]

Last Post From India Asia » India » Kerala » Kochi

Hi all, Ben here. We wanted to take some time to make a final post about this year's trip. It's been tough the last week but we didn't want it to be Mission: Phil's Health. We wanted to leave you with some of the lessons we learned. One important lesson is how, despite culture, sin is common to man. The most important thing in life is staying faithful. I want everyone here to do well with their jobs, homes, family, etc... But it would be meaningless without eternal life. So I will pray for everyone's lives but only after I've prayed [View Full Entry]

Ilse and Johan: Extreme Survival: Part 1: The Himalaya's Asia » India » Himachal Pradesh » Mcleod Ganj

To Mcleod Ganj

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! Firstly, because we used to joke back home about us starting a survival series much like those on discovery channel. Yet we didn't count on making it past the first episode due to being iced by a falling tree or something. Secondly, because we are not that professional concerning survival, see us failing to make fire and forgetting valuable equipment on the top of a mountain later in this story. Thirdly, unless the himalaya’s are in your backyard, you can’t anyway. But first, It is known that we made Mcleod Ganj our base camp. From [View Full Entry]

Coming Home...with Phil! Asia » India » Kerala » Kochi

Family, What a wild and boring day! I really wanted Mitch, Laurel, and Deb to visit the HOPE home for elderly women since it is something that has really meant a lot to me in the past trips. So I stayed with Phil from early morning until just now. Short version: we'll all be home Wednesday night! Long version: the MRI and EEG were this morning and I got to talk to the neurologist here at Lakeshore Hospital. Most of the day was a lot of waiting. Waiting for the tests and then waiting for the test results. Phil was coming [View Full Entry]

The Himalaya's....Wow! Asia » India » Himachal Pradesh » Manali

6,000 metre peak! Stunning.

We took an overnight bus from Delhi to Manali up in the Himalaya's. It was beautiful......stunning mountains with rivers, streams and waterfalls. We stepped out of the coach and noticed the lovely temperature for the first time. It was 15-20 degrees in the day, and about 0-5 degrees at night. Perfect. We even had to buy a jumper, hat and gloves. The town of 'New' Manali isn't anything special. It's a big pedestrianised street, with lots of shops, restaurants and hawkers. We headed for 'Old' Manali - a travellers settlement up in the hills, with lots of tastefully built restaurants an [View Full Entry]

Cyling to Chakrata Asia » India » Uttarakhand

vikasnager to chakrata
vikasnager to chakrata

A perfect mountain destination opens up the imagination of a place surrounded by tall snow capped peaks, streams, beautiful lush greenery, freshness in the air and finally an idyllic spot with very few people and concrete. May be you want to add the drama of a spectacular road trip leading to the “perfect” destination. Well, you got all of this in Chakrata, a hill station very few know, let alone visit. Chakrata is tucked into the Garwhal Himalayas at a height of 7000 feet in the state of Uttaranchal, some 90 km from Dehradun. It is less known because it is [View Full Entry]
