Tips on Changing Money in India for Foreign Tourists

Image
It's best to change money only at banks and authorized foreign exchange ("forex") agencies. They will give you an encashment certificate to prove that you have changed money legally. You should keep these-along with any ATM receipts-because you may need them from time to time. There are instances where foreigners are expected to pay in foreign currency, but if you have the exchange receipts, you can use rupees.  The other reason to, deal with banks and authorized forex agents is that counterfeiting has become fairly common in India. Changing money unofficially is risky. If you somehow do get any counterfeit notes, having sufficient receipts to account for all the rupees in your possession is essential.  Changing money at a bank-especially the government-run ones like State Bank of India-can sometimes take as much as an hour or two, so don't rush in right before their lunch break or at closing time. Banknotes are commonly stapled togethe...

What to Know Before You Go Sariska Tiger Reserve Rajasthan

Image
On the main highway to Jaipur 34 km (21 miles) south of Alwar, lays the Sariska Tiger Reserve and National Park. Sariska is one of the few remaining pockets of forest in the Aravalli range of hills and the area now consisting of 800 sq. km (308 sq. miles) is the core area. The reserve has been under Project Tiger since 1979 and before that, since 1955, a smaller sanctuary. But earlier still it was a hunting area for the Maharajas of Alwar and was strictly protected.  The forest is mainly hilly with two extensive plateaus, Kankwari and Kiraska, and a wide valley starting at the Baran Tal Gate and running south to Thana Gazi. At the northeastern corner, just off the road between Alwar and Sariska, is the Silliserh Lake. Although there are few large mammals to be seen near the lake, crocodiles are often spotted and, during the winter, there are many migrant water birds.  In spring, the surrounding hillsides are filled with colour as the "flame of the forest...

Travel Information about Dakshinkali Temple Kathmandu Nepal

Image
  18 km (11 mi) south of Kathmandu  The only time to visit this bloodbath of a temple is Tuesday or Satur-day morning, well before noon, preferably around 9 AM. Dedicated to Kali, the goddess of destruction, this is where Hindus come to slaughter male animals as offerings to the deity. The eerie setting, in the woods on the southern side of the valley, at the confluence of two rivers, makes the events all the more ominous to first-time viewers. The temple was built 300 years ago by a Malla king whose people were dying from a cholera epidemic. In a dream, Kali told him to build a temple for her in Dakshin, south of his kingdom, and then to sacrifice 108 buffalo. The king obeyed Kali's command, and the epidemic ended.  Follow the lane from the hillside parking area, past stalls selling Nepali fast food, including khuwa (sweet milk-and-cheese curd served on a large leaf); vendors pushing handicrafts and garlands; and, no doubt, at least one praying Shiv...
