.....this is what lonely planet says about Mysore. Well, we are not really LP-fans - but this is certainly true. Mysore has everything South India is made of: tempels, pujas, lovely food, hot weather, friendly people, colonial buildings, honking, crazy markets, yoga, all kinds of smells and colours and, a highlight for us (after a long time without): nice cold local beer. This city is a feast for ... Read Full Entry

Hola mundo! - We are Nina and Markus. We are from Lake Thun/Switzerland and we are outdoor junkies.

From travelling in the outside because we were searching for something, we are now travelling for meeting him, enjoying his presence and travelling "inside". It ... full info

Such variety!
From your pretty bad start to the last two heavenly places to this surprisingly pleasant city, you two have had such amazingly different experiences so far. How great that your hosts have pointed you to wonderful places to stay in your new destinations. Hope your good luck continues!

Aamzing variety
Oh yes, the variety is simply amazing here in India. Some more stories to come very soon. With the accomodation we keep it as always: if we like a place just talk to the people. They nearly always no other nice places that are not mentioned in LP. Then, a short doublecheck in tripadvisor and here we go :-).

Agree about the Lonely Planet
We find the LP information generally to be outdated. You're really experiencing the country and a variety of settings on this trip. You are going to a few places I've never heard of and appreciate being introduced to new areas. The rooftop retreat sounds lovely.

NEXT TIME
I visited north of India, the Golden Triangle, plus Benares (Varanasi) and Khajuraho. It was a great experience. I will nee some time to think about going to the South. It will be in the future. India is fantastic.
