Very good indeed!!
Partha, its a very nice writeup about Nikko. I am surprised at the attention to pay to the minutest details and its very well expressed too. And I love the photos. Overall a superb travelogue!! I want to visit Nikko too during Autumn to see the fall colours. The last time we visited it was a little early and we stayed at the same Viva Nikko Hotel.
