The first stop was darshan of Ram lalla at Ram janam bhoomi and the excitement and joy on the faces of the Ram bhakts had to be seen to be believed. The cacophony of Jai Shri Ram and Ram Mandir reverberated around the Ram Janam Bhoomi site and the bhagva color filled the whole place. No mobiles, wallets, belts, purses etc. are allowed inside. One 'jhalak' of Ram lalla was enough to make the journey from across the World to Ayodhya 'saarthak'. Jai Sri Ram.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> We started at a decent time of 7 AM and a friend picked us up on the way to Lansdowne (route map to lansdowne/driving instructions to Lansdowne). The route to start with is the same you take for Haridwar or Mussoorie, NH 58, you can carry on till </span><br />

We followed the latter and stopped at Cheetal for a quick but nice breakfast. After Cheetal take the right turn towards Khatauli town, take the flyover to </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
carry on towards Kotdwar and Nazibabad via Jansath, Meerapur and Bijnor, from Kotdwar you have a hill drive of about 40 km to Lansdowne. Generally the roads were </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">pretty good and not too crowded thorough out although it was a Saturday. With a stop we were there </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">in Lansdowne by around 1 pm taking about 6 hours with one stoppage of around 45 minutes. The distance clocked was around 250 k from Dhaula Kuan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lansdowne is a small hill station in Garhwal region of Uttaranchal, dominated by the Army cantonement, which has kept a check on too much constuction in the area. Most of the new hotels that have come up are in the outer around 4-6 km from the main town. Named after a British general by the same name,Lansdowne till date maintains the old world charm and is very different from the other hill stations of North India like Shimla, Nainital, Musssorie etc. I found it more akin to Kasauli and Ranikhet, both cantonements by the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> So if you have visited Ranikhet and Kasauli or like these kind of quiet places Lansdowne is for you. If you are looking for a very happening kind of place with markets and Dominos, Mcdonald's and video games kind of place like Shimla or Mussoorie, Lansdowne is not the place you are looking for. But if you like a quiet and cool place, place to go for small walks, enjoy the low flying clouds and just chill with friends or family, Lansdowne is the place to be for you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Between Kotdwar and Lansdowne we stopped at Durga Devi Temple, on the banks of river Khoh, one can visit the old shrine for the Devi darshan and also the awesome views of the gushing river specially during the monsoon time. We were however advised not to go near the stream by the locals, but the view from the top was just incredible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The drive after Kotdwar is quiet pictersque and green with an altitude of 1600 m. The first hotel you come across from Kotdwar is Kasang Regency, one of the older properties at Lansdowne, about 6 km from the Market. Then you have Lanscastle, Garhwal Inn, Green Pams and Blue pine Resorts. Lanscastle and Greenpalms are the very recent ones. I was surprised to find though it was July, a so called off season, but being a Saturday most of the above mentioned hotels were sold out. The reasons for this I concluded were 1. proximity of Lansdowne from Delhi and Noida, 2. Good roads and easy accessibility of Lansdowne. 3. Lack of too many good options to stay near the town.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I found Hotel Lanscastle to be a small and nice boutique hotel with a fresh look. Rooms with balcony and terrace were nice. Also worth mentioning are the terrace garden and the Dance and music room. I will be giving more details about various Lansdowne hotels shortly, while this blog I will like to totally dedicate to Lansdowne as a destination.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <b>Bhulla taal</b> is a lovely picnic spot in Lansdowne where one can easily spend some time in lush green lawns and tall pines, go for a boat ride, munch on some snacks or just laze around. It is a small man made like Lansdowne itself and also presents some swings and all for the kids. Just the place to enjoy the good weather of Lansdowne, Uttaranchal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Next we walked to the <b>Tip n Top point, </b>and my suggestion to friends visiting Lansdowne is to just park your vehicle at any point near the market and take a walk to all these points in Lansdowne, in a leisurely walk you can cover all these places and I can bet you will enjoy them more. Tip n Top is the highest point in Lansdowne around the GMVN hotel and offers the best view of the snow capped peaks in the distance and the green valley below. You need to be lucky to have a clear view and the months more likely to give a clear view are March-June and October-November. The lovely view of the Himalayan peaks itself is the reason enough to visit Lansdowne. Another good view point is the <b>Snow Point</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Churches of Lansdowne </b>St. Marys and St. John's. Both churches are heritage in nature, built around 1936, St. John's is the only running church of Lansdowne.

and surrounding by a small lawn, the church was given up after independence and restored subsequently. St. Mary's was built in 1895 and holds a museum run by Garhwal Regiment. Visit them for their simplicity, architecture and the eerie quiet that engulfs them most of the time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Tarkeshwar Mahadev near Lansdowne</b>, located about 38 km from Lansdowne, the temple devoted to Shiva houses a 1500 year old Shiva idol and is located in a very peaceful, green and cool place surrounded by green lawns. The journey to the place from Lansdowne too is picturesque forcing you to stop and admire Mother Nature on the way, many a times. Do visit, specially if you are staying for 2 nights. Do carry snacks, water etc with you from LAnsdowne as you wont get anything worthwhile to eat at Tarkeshwar or on the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Visit to <b>Corbett National Park, </b>unknown to many, you can now visit Corbett National Park during season, November to June, you will be entering the Sonanadi Forest zone from the Vatan vasa gate, the distance of the gate is about 35 km from Deriyakhal, Lansdowne. Further down you can have some snacks at the Haldupurao guest house. Sonanadi is known for it's elephant population and tiger sighting too is frequent. One can book a jeep from Lansdowne or use your own SUV to do this trip, but do take a guide along lest you lose your way in the jungle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Walks around Lansdowne </b>As I mentioned before, the real taste of Lansdowne is in savouring it on foot, so here is how you can do it with leisurely walks. Park your vehicle at Bhulla lake parking and take a walk to the market and back. Or park around St Mary's church and take a walk to St John's to one side and Tip n Top to the other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The ideal period of stay at Lansdowne is 2 to 3 nights, longer if you are going for to spend some time with your self in this quiet and calm place. The weekends are usually full and you do not have too many hotels worth staying so do plan and book your weekend stay in advance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some of the good hotels in Lansdowne are Lanscastle, Blue Pine resorts and Kasang Regency.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On the day of our return it was cloudy and you can actually see the clouds flying and slowly engulf the place around you, first the valley and then the road. Really felt like heaven. Lansdowne will be a great place for a friends only visit,a romantic getaway, a family outing or as a corporate if you plan some training programme or small conference around Delhi and do not want to travel too far. Lansdowne is a cool hill station around Delhi, do visit it if you have not, and I am sure you will keep visiting it again and again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Recently did a family Trip to Dalhousie on the Gandhi Jayanti-Dusshera weekend 1st-6th October 2014. Though I have done Dalhousie trips previously also with clients, but this time could really explore the whole region in a relaxed manner and would like to share the Travel experience and for Dalhousie in a kind of day wise itinerary and focusing on the offbeat and just brushing on the regular ones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Dalhousie is a small hill station in Himachal Pradesh, India named after Lord Dalhousie who was the British Governor-General in India while establishing this place as a</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> summer retreat in 1854. Located on the western edge of the Dhauladhar mountain range </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YoOhki2w0B8/VDfzfwkJ5jI/AAAAAAAAB-s/hRVwoD8EjVI/s1600/IMG_1777.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YoOhki2w0B8/VDfzfwkJ5jI/AAAAAAAAB-s/hRVwoD8EjVI/s1600/IMG_1777.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></span></div>

of the Himalayas, it is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and situated between 6,000 and 9,000 feet (2,700 m) above sea level.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<b>Distances</b>- Delhi 560k, Patahnkot the nearest rail head 75 km about 2.5 hrs, Dharamshala 140k, 6 hours and Manali 350k. People also try and combine it with Amritsar about 190k away, 5 hours. Chandigarh is around 325k about 7-8 hrs by road. I have mentioned these places as you will most be coming from one of these places if coming from a distant part of India. For people in Punjab like Ludhiana and Jallandher it is an easy road drive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<b>How to reach </b>The best way to come from Delhi or other places is take a train till Patahnkot and then by road by a bus or a hired taxi. You can also travel by road from Delhi directly or other places mentioned above.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
We took the overnight Dhualadhar express from Old Delhi station and for one of the group cars the trip could have ended before its start as they got struck at Azad Market and had to literally walk to the station with luggage in tow. Do try and keep a good margin if you are travelling from the old Delhi station as the area may be quiet crowded. There is a Rajdhani you can take from New Delhi station, all trains going to Jammu stop at Patahnkot (PTK or PTKC) but still you need to book well in advance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The rates though are slightly on the higher side. Food was good though. It took us about 2.5 hrs and after Banikhet, the woolens were out and the clouds were all around us as they would stay for almost the whole of our stay period.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For our stay we had chosen the Mount View, one of the oldest hotels in Dalhousie along with Grandview. Mount View is situated right in the heart of the city with easy accessibility. There was a big fire in the hotel abut 2 years ago and one of the old building was totally burnt. The resort now is a mixture of old and new and a fine combination at that. The reception is modern and has a crisp look, the same building now also houses Kettle Pot the restaurant, Spa and Games room and Gym. Rooms are spacious and all old rooms are being slowly renovated with about 18 renovated rooms as of now. The resort affords some beautiful views of the valley and the gardens, terrace and the fountains et al gives it a resort feeling. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After a sumptuous lunch at Kettle Shop and some rest, we headed to Panchpulla and Sadhopaul. Dalhousie is a walker's paradise with a lot of opportunities to test your legs and lungs. About 2 km from Gandhi Chowk, the famous bazaar of Dalhousie is the Panch or Panjpulla (5 bridges), a pictersque place to walk down to with some streams, small water falls and a monument of Sardar Ajit singh, Bhagat singh's uncle. There is a small fresh water spring called Saptadhara nearby. Water levels in these places varies according to seasons. One can continue for another 3 km till Ganji Pahari another trek, but we had to leave it out due to lack of time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Back to the hotel by the evening some went on to the spa to destress while for others the Gazebo at Mount View served as a perfect rendezvous for some fun and masti.</span><br />

Blazer, Vice Counselor and Head of Chancery of Switzerland in India in 1992 is all green during summer and a complete white blanket of snow during winters each having it's own charm. I must admit though being very picturesque and beautiful from a distance the place needs a 'Swach Bharat Abhiyan' to be carried out by the tourists and Government alike as lots of filth, stray animals and city kachra like water/beer/pepsi bottles and lays/kurkure wrappers sends on a wild goose chase to find a quiet corner. It was more so on this particular long weekend as things were better when I visited it a year back. Another drawback is lack of good eating joints, apart from the dhabas and overpriced hotel restaurants you don't have any place to satisfy the hunger pangs. Need to work out on the Switzerland for sure. After grabbing whatever we could to eat we headed back to Dalhousie but stopped short by 12 km at Lakkadmandi to do the Kalatop trek of about 3k each side.</span></span></span></span><br />

The easiest of them is from Lakkadmandi to Kaltope FRH (forest rest house) about 3 km from the main track. One can take a detour at 2 places to a non motor-able road really multiplying the fun many times (see pic or the map at start of trek). First part is real fun and more green, quiet and just great. We followed both detours but got lost in the second and had to turn back after walking for about 1 km, <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

but still there was no regrets as detour 2 takes you to through dense jungle where even sun light was difficult to reach. One can hire a guide too for various treks to help you and also help you in bird sighting etc. The trek ends at Forest Rest House which also offers some basic rooms but a wonderful locations surrounded by dense forests. Had some nice tea and pakoras once we reached the FRH and relaxes in the lush green lawns there. By the time we reached back Lakkad Mandi we had trekked for about 8 km, a job well done.(to be continued)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Long weekends gives holidayers a great opportunity to spend some leisure time with family and friends serving as a great stress buster. Usually these Long weekends have a great rush of tourists and it becomes difficult to book hotel and resort rooms at the last minute. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Therefore we will like to share the Long Weekends of 2014 in India and present a Holiday Planner 2014 where you can pre plan your Holiday weekends by applying for leave etc well in advance. What we have tried to work out is according to the Indian Holiday Calender the holidays which are falling around a weekend can be combined together or extend the same by taking a leave from office. If it is two nights then you can plan a small weekend getaway around Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore etc or if you are getting an opportunity of 4-5 nights holiday in some of the dates, you can plan a longer holiday, maybe to <a href="http://indiaitinerary.in/Kashmir_Srinagar_itinerary.htm" target="_blank">Kashmir</a>, <a href="http://indiaitinerary.in/South_India_itinerary.htm" target="_blank">South India Itinerary</a>, Darjeeling Trip, Leh Ladhakh Tour, Shirdi tours and more.</span><br />

According to our survey, more than 80% of our guests were going to do rafting for the first time at the Ganges, Rishikesh. So before the start of the rafting a counselling session was done to allay the fears of participants and answer their queries about the same. Just for our blog readers and enthusiasts in general here below we are listing some of the general queries which were raised about the safety and other aspects about rafting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> After clearing the queries and taking consent rafters were divided into groups of 8 and given life jackets and crash helmets to wear. They were also told about pedaling,back pedaling etc by the instructor. Each raft has one to two instructors, they also carry a waterproof dry bag to carry your mobiles,cameras etc.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v-YKl50lTCU/UH6p1TRnxaI/AAAAAAAAA3g/9g5YzRhaTWY/s1600/rishikesh_camps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v-YKl50lTCU/UH6p1TRnxaI/AAAAAAAAA3g/9g5YzRhaTWY/s320/rishikesh_camps.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Marine Drive was the starting point for the rafting group which was going to raft down till NIM beach, Rishikesh approximately 26 km. From Marine Drive to Shiv Puri we encounter Grade I and II rapids starting with good morning, black money and three blind mice. The initial parts may be a bit scary for the first timers but as rafting progresses the adrenaline builts up and you start looking for your next rapid. (<a href="http://www.arounddelhi.com/rafting_rishikesh.htm" target="_blank">Rapid Classification</a>) Rafting is a one of the best team building exercise and you need to work as a team specially when encountering rapids to keep the raft stable and handle the rapid well. Maximum work of pedaling and direction has to be done by the people sitting in the front and you may need to replace the front runners if they feel tired. The rafting group took a small break at Shiv Puri where you can rehydrate yourself or use the loo if required. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Immediately after restarting from Shiv Puri you come across 'Return to Sender' an interesting rapid where you have go back all the way if you don't do it the right way. Other Grade III rapids one encounters are Golf Course and Roller Coaster. As the Ganges calms down you also get a chance to jump into the river with a secure rope and swim n enjoy in the river. Our group also stopped enroute at a sandy bank to bask in the sun. After great excitement the rafting finally came to an end at Nim beach. The buses were waiting on the road side to get us back to the camp. The group rested after a delicious lunch and in the evening it was back to bon fire, music and lots of masti.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next Day morning it was back to Delhi with lunch being arranged on the way back. Everybody really enjoyed the stay, food and activities, especially rafting and carried back sweet memories to home.</span><br />

So Thursday 'Around Delhi' started trips to the station and Airport to pickup clients and transfer them to a place where dinner was arranged for them. A total of eight 27 seater deluxe buses were used and it was a smooth transit with the help of the client's Travel Team. Around 11:30 pm we started from the common hall in east Delhi and crossed the UP border by midnight. Some of the team members had already reached Rishikesh camps the day before to oversee the preparations for the group. A total of 3 camps were hired near Shiv Puri and a total of about 85 camps were engaged on double and triple sharing. The buses started reaching the camps by about 5:30 in the morning and pickup for luggage was arranged as the buses were parked on the main highway while the camps were about 100m away on the riverside beach. Smaller vehicles can reach the camps directly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The camps used were one of the best in the Rishikesh area with access to the beach and also a side stream of the Ganges river. Camps at Rishikesh ( in fact the area where the camps are put up may be 2-25 km from Rishikesh in places like Shiv Puri, Byasi, Marine Drive, Kaudiyala etc) are put every year from October onwards after the Ganges river water recedes creating a beach on the riverside with white sand. There is generally no electricity at the camps and lanterns, torches etc are used for illumination after sunset. Some of the camps have limited electricity connections like ours. No loud music etc is allowed at the camps and they are quiet eco friendly. Staying at these camps on the riverside with a beautiful beach in the tents is a exhilarating experience in itself bringing you close to nature and relaxing your mid, body and soul.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The first meal to be served to the guest was the bfast and it was a challenge to serve so many people in one go, but with the help of the owner and staff of the camps and 'Around Delhi' team it was well managed and the food quality was much appreciated. The client wanted to do a small conference for about 3-4 hrs for all it's employees and as no such area is available to host about 250 people we chose an area a little far from the camps where using a gen set was allowed. A shamiana set up had been put up with chairs,table, fans etc on the day before and the challenge was to use a Projector in that area which was quiet bright in day time. One part of the tent was some how made dark after a lot of 'jugaad' and it became just about feasible to see the slide presentation. Though not quiet akin to a Conference hall but it served the purpose and lunch was served closeby. Various games like Tug of war, beach volleyball, treasure hunt etc were organised in the post lunch session to keep the guests engaged.</span><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UxEzDLNSnpo/UH6qIckTisI/AAAAAAAAA3o/RRgsiQXMQh8/s1600/07102012431.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UxEzDLNSnpo/UH6qIckTisI/AAAAAAAAA3o/RRgsiQXMQh8/s320/07102012431.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> As soon as the Sun goes down at the camps it is a different atmosphere altogether, suddenly the temperature drops by say 10 degrees and the breeze becomes cooler and soon you will be searching for jackets/woolens etc. As the sun goes down and night comes over you are transposed into a different World altogether. Cool breeze, sound of the river thrashing against the stones, a dark sky with number of stars visible in one square feet equal to what you see in the complete horizon in any Metro city and the chirping of the birds makes you completely forget your daily work and worries. A perfect evening to enjoy with friends or family. Guests are served evening tea and then evening snacks. An evening trek/night trek was arranged for some of the guests. We went for an early dinner at Rishikesh camps as the next day was fixed for rafting and the whole group was eagerly awaiting and looking forward to that moment. The simple but tasty dinner in the lights of petromax, laltains (lanters) and one CFL was really appreciated and it was all set to welcome the next morning. (coming soon- Day 2-Rafting at Rishikesh)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b> </b><u>Day 1</u></span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last Thursday took a prestigious Delhi officials group to Shimla and Chail. Caught the Kalka Shatabdi in the morning and reached <a href="http://shimla-resorts.com/" target="_blank">Shimla</a> by lunch, though slightly late. To kill the hunger pangs on the way, stopped at McDonald Jabli for a burger treat (the sparse Shatabadi bfast does not lasts too long) The new bypass just before Pinjore saves time as it takes you straight to Parwanoo. At Shimla we stayed at the <a href="http://shimla-resorts.com/east_bourne_shimla.htm" target="_blank">East Bourne</a>, a previous Heritage property, now converted into a modern hotel with lovely rooms, excellent terrace garden restaurant and great food.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The <a href="http://shimla-resorts.com/east_bourne_shimla.htm" target="_blank">East Bourne</a> also boasts of a spa, heated swimming pool, bar and lots more. It is about 4 km from the Mall and quiet close to the Shimla bypass, so as we were in a bus we had to get down at bypass and took transfers in smaller vehicles which go directly to the hotel. One of the best thing about <a href="http://shimla-resorts.com/east_bourne_shimla.htm" target="_blank">East Bourne</a> is it's location which is a little far from the Mall and overlooking the dense Deodar forests and the beautiful green valley, giving you an impression that you are not in the concrete jungles of Shimla but some place else. Shimla had got nice rains recently so everything was so green and clean that it was a treat for the eyes. Monsoon sure is a nice time to visit the hills as it is cooler,cleaner, clearer skies and less crowds. The food too was awesome with a nice variety and good taste in both veg and non veg preparations. The huge Conference hall came very handy to cater to about 100 people for the conference and the evening dinner. People loved sitting in the open air restaurant for lunch and breakfast overlooking the green forest cover. In the evening ee arranged for transfers to the Mall where the guests were dropped at the Lift from where they could go up to the Mall and the Ridge area. The evening cool breeze and the Mall made a nice combination and the guests fully enjoyed it. It was early dinner for most guests as it was a hectic day.</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> May and June is a very hectic season for us as far as season booking in hills are concerned as it is extremely hot in the plains. This leads to a lot of difficulty to get rooms and also the rates are quiet high. So we planned a conference for one of our clients at Goa during June as it is Monsoon time in Goa and one can get good rates in 4/5 star beach resorts in Goa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The Conference cum Leisure trip was planned at Majorda Beach Resort in South Goa. Took the evening flight of Spicejet to Goa to reach one day before guest check in. On Landing at Dabolim Airport, Goa pickup vehicle was waiting in a light drizzle and it felt like heaven after the blistering heat of Delhi. After a welcome drink at the reception I was guided to my room, which was centrally air conditioned and felt so cold that I had switch off the A/c soon. There were also the delicious Goa Cashews and port wine waiting in the room, and the wine really set the mood for the evening with it's aroma and taste. I soon joined other guests near the indoor pool where a Goan band was playing along with some great acrobatic display including fire dance and all. The dinner had a wide variety with good taste and a definite Goan flavour.</span><br />

It is one of the oldest properties in Goa and shows a mixture of Goan and Portuguese culture. The resort at Majorda boasts of two swimming pools, one indoor and one out doors, spa facilities, Gym, Lawn tennis and Squash in recreation. It has two Conference Halls with the bigger hall catering up to 300 people. The resort is very green with a lot of lawn areas, tall palm trees and green areas doting the place. The resort is very close to the sea and one can view the sea from some of the rooms, though the tall palm trees come in the way. One can just walk to the beach and enjoy the sandy beach, just as we did early next morning before breakfast.

After the lunch it was time for some sight seeing to Old Goa to the famous Churches of Goa including that of Basilica of Bom Jesus, situated in Old Goa and built in 1605, Basilica of Bom Jesus has now been declared a World Heritage Monument. The church houses the sacred relics of St. Francis Xavier, patron saint of Goa, who died while on a sea voyage to China. By 6 PM we crossed Panajim for the cruise of River Mandovi with the slight drizzle egging us on. The evening cruise on the river is a One hour trip where the group enjoyed the lovely views and breeze along with some Goan and Portuguese dances to boot. After the cruise people bought some specialities of Goa like the cashew nuts and Port wine and Cashew Fenny from a nearby market. We made our way back to our resort in our bus in the falling rain and reached back in about an hour.</span><br />

Devi Garh fort palace with its contemporary interiors set in an 18th century fort palace, has been described as one of the most romantic places on earth, and it surely lives up to that.

I was accompanied for a Palace tour as this was my first visit to the place followed by a sumptuous lunch. The accommodation is all suites with the Devigarh Suite having a private Jacuzzi and a semi private swimming pool,luxury at it's best. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> All the palace suites have either balconies or bay windows, which overlook the lush green fields and the mountains which surround Devi Garh. Each suite is accessible through a traditional "aangan" (courtyard) with contemporary design. Each suite is decorated with semi precious stones and is unique in it's own way.</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Around Jodhpur- One can visit the Osian temples about 65 km from Jodhpur which are medieval Hindu and Jain temples, like the Shiva temple, Harihara temple and the Surya temple. The temples date back to 8th-11th century. Osian also offers a desert safari and some camping options too. Another place close to Jodhpur-40k, is Luni village where there is a lovely Fort Chanwa worth visiting and staying for one night at least.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The city of Jodhpur is now on the international tourist map and also a big hit with the domestic tourists for leisure and conference. Jodhpur is almost an integral part of your Rajasthan itinerary also because of it's strategic location. I had a wonderful time at Jodhpur in my two days stay.</span><br />

One can find desert sand dunes on two sides of Jaisalmer at Khuri and Sam, both about 40k. Both are in opposite directions and you can go to either of them. I planned to stay at luxury tents at Sam overnite and visit the Khuri dunes next morning just to compare the two.</span><br />

The first view of the dunes was totally mesmerising as it brought back memories of the desert as seen in Bollywood movies. The place was really abuzz with tourists, transferred to a Camel for a safari and seeing the sunset from a vantage point in the desert. The sunset was truly amazing as one could clearly see the ball of fire disappear all the way below the horizon. After the safari reached my abode for the night, the deluxe tents where I planned to stay the night. The tent was quiet spacious with two bed,chairs,table and still some space to move around. It also had electricity and an attached bathroom and English toilet with running water. Most important, the tents and the whole area was quiet clean inspite of a lot of sand around. After some light snacks and tea there were some great traditional Rajasthani songs and dances, the local artists were just amazing reminding me of Swaroop of Indian idol. The night was cold in the desert but the tents were quiet cosy. I really had a good night's sleep and planned to do another Camel Safari as it was much quieter now and very less people. The morning freshness of the dunes set the tone of the day. The tents had a small bathroom where hot water was also provided,didn't feel like we were in middle of a desert. After a hearty breakfast it was time to move on back to Jasialmer. </span><br />

The dunes of Khuri are located next to the Desert National Park which is know for the endangered Great Indian Bustard, a magnificent bird found in relatively fair numbers here. The Desert National Park also has a collection of fossils of animals and plants of 180 million years old. Some fossils of Dinosaurs of 6 million years old have been found in the area. Khuri is a small village of Hindu settlers with fairly good dunes nearby. Khuri has developed later than Sam so it is less crowded here, also one of the camps I visited is away from the village and the dunes are almost to your own even in the evening, that was the best part about these camps near Khuri. The tents are simillar with attached toilets and bathroom. I concluded that though Sam dunes were bigger but you can have less crowded dunes at Khuri.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hurried back to <a href="http://arounddelhi.com/jaisalmer.htm">Jaisalmer</a> to have lunch and then catch my train to Jodhpur for my next leg of the journey.</span><br />
