Dehradun city is extremely important as a Gateway to Uttarakhand , in regards to the tourists coming from all over the country . The travellers flock this city because of the air and railway connectivity to the rest of the country . With the Himalayan foothills to the north and the Shivalik range to the south, the charming town of Dehradun is nestled in the Doon Valley. When the state of Uttarakhand was hewn out of Uttar Pradesh in 2000, Dehradun became its capital. So swift was its development that Dehradun soon turned from a charming little town hidden among the folds of the Himalayas into a chaotic urban space. But despite its frenetic pace, its reputation as a sylvan retreat for the retired remains intact so far. Indeed, some parts of Dehradun have resisted the building boom. Dehradun is the gateway to the 'Queen of the Hills', Mussoorie, a mere 36-km climb from the Doon Valley. The holy city of Haridwar is 52 kms away. Legend has it that the name De...

W hile travelling to Jaisalmer, most beautiful part of Rajasthan, it is important to understand the different culture and lifestyle followed by the people in Jaisalmer Rajasthan. These travel tips would help in understanding the locals and enhance the travel experience while travelling to Rajasthan. The people of Jaisalmer especially the Hindus are divided by the traditional 'Varnashrama Dharm framework—hence they are the Kshatriyas or rulers, the Brahmins or the learned men, followed by the Vaishyas or the traders and merchants and artisans and finally the Shudras, those providing the menial functions. Jaisalmer has also always had a large Muslim population. The Bhati Rajputs of Jaisalmer are a proud warrior race. They are Vaishnavites who trace their line of ascent to Lord Krishna through the Yadava Rajputs and are associated with heroic exploits in battles and resistance to the might of the Turks. The Pushkarna Brahmins functioned as the advisors to the rulers ...

Always be respectful of people you want to photograph. Ask permission beforehand, especially from women, as taking photos of people can be an extremely sensitive issue. You don't need to know the local language. It's enough to smile and hold your camera or camcorder up in a questioning sort of way.  Remember that colorfully dressed tribal people and others are simply living their lives. Refrain from encroaching on their privacy without their permission. India is not a giant theme park that is here for your pleasure. Even if you come to India on an expensive photo tour, your fee does not entitle you to take photos of anyone and everyone without their consent. Some people will ask for a little payment, or baksheesh, for having their photo taken. A rupee or two is usually sufficient, but certainly no more than five or ten rupees, unless you are a professional photographer shooting for commercial purposes and you need a model release, in which case it is appropriate to give...

In spite of the enormous number of physically challenged people in India, few places are wheelchair accessible by design. Most of the major tourist attractions are inaccessible; to say nothing of many other places you may want to visit. Hotels, temples, private homes, restaurants, shops and other buildings usually have steps up, especially in places with heavy monsoon rains.  If you require wheelchair access, you'll need to find out in advance about every single place you plan to visit or stay. For many people, a specialized travel agency could be the best option for making such arrangements. Otherwise, you will need to spend enormous amounts of time and energy planning every step in advance. Whether you use an agency or do it yourself, it's essential to articulate your requirements as fully and clearly as possible.  Although the situation is slowly improving, few hotels are truly accessible. When making hotel reservations, be sure that your reservation is for a par...

Religions in India - Hinduism Hinduism, with its mega family of gods and goddesses, extends back at least three millennia. Like Buddhists, Hindus believe in reincarnation. Hindus also share the Buddhist goal: liberation from the endless cycle of rebirth and the attainment of nirvana. Hinduism also espouses a similar relationship between dharma (truth) and karma (action). If one fulfills one's as-signed duty and moral obligations to society, one will be rewarded iii the next life. Sacrifice is an essential part of dharma. An offering to a god blesses the worshipper in return. Sacrifice also calls for the relinquishment of one's individuality, which the Hindu believes frees the atman (universal consciousness) and allows the realization of nirvana. This theory explains the important ritual attached to cremation: The head of the deceased is ignited first to free the atman for the journey that will, it is hoped, end in heaven. Devout Hindus also practice yoga, which they consi...

Mapusa- Measure and Fill Bardez, a province in North Goa gets its name from Tara Des', the 12 villages of Aldona, Anjuna, Assagao, Candolim, Nachinola, Olaulim, Pomburpa, Punola, Saligao, Sangolda, Serula and Moira. At the epicentre of Bardez lies the small town of Mapusa. Undersized it maybe, but there is no bypassing Mapusa, district headquarters, transport hub and the most prominent town in Bardez. Mapusa gained a measure of consequence as a market town in the period when the river next door, the Rio de Mapusa served as a vital waterway for the transportation of commodities. Traditionally, market towns become prosperous centres of commerce, production or manufacturing — but not Mapusa. Mapusa was and still remains a small town on the plateau, euphemistically dubbed alto (mount), between the Rivers Mandovi and Mapusa. Its sole cachet is its geographical proximity to the best beaches in North Goa and its historic market, which also gives the town its name.  The...
