Local lore has it that when the great gos jamlu was passing through Chandrakhani, with all the minor devtas packed in a sack, a fierce wind blew open the fasteings and the devtas were scattered all over the Kullu valley.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The pass itself is a vast windswept ridegeling, with cairns doting its length and panoramic views enfolding it. The snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal range and the Ghalpo peaks of Lahaul stand to the north of the pass and, to the south, the hills roll away like dunes all the way to Shimla.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A steep descent leads from the Chandrakhani pass to the quint- and rather isolated-Malana village, with its famously reserved cultural practices (and its world renowened hashish). The uper Malana valey is worth the five-day foray to see the hanging glaciers of the valley, which give rise to the feisty Malana river. Exit via the Rashol pass into Kashol and further into the Pavati valley. End the trek with a refreshing bath in the hot springs here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Route: From Delhi, take the Manali highway and, from Patlikul (20 km befoe Manali), turn into the diversion to Nagga (9km).

In the first decade of the twentieth century. Jim Corbett came to this region to hunt man-eating tigers. In fact, the book man Eaters of Kumaon begins with a story set in the forested hills of Champawat. For years, Corbett had roamed in the forests of Kumaon, savoring the beauty of the region, the hospitality of the simple hill folks and confronting the man eaters. Lohaghat is also one of the important places for its beautiful temples. This ancient town of Lohaghat has immense historical and mythological importance which attracts a number of tourists. Mostly devotees and pilgrims from all over drop into Lohaghat before visiting Advaita Ashram which is also called the Mayawati Ashram. A sleepy little town of Uttaranchal it shot to fame because of the beautiful temples and fascinating locales near by. There is also remains of the fort of Banasur, Varansur fort (Vanasur-Ka-Kila), near by, who was killed by Lord Krishna. Apart from being a favourite destination for tourists, this place is famous for its celebration of Holi and Janamashtmi.The Khadi bazaar of the town is an added attraction, and the scenic Galchaura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setting our before sunrise the first stop of our journey was Lohaghat. We journeyed through the undulating roads flanked by deep bowls of greenery. As we wound our way down to Lohaghat, the quaint little town on the banks of river Lohawati, we marvelled at the unspoilt beauty of nature around us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Lohaghat is a dusty and nondescript place. But you have to traverse breathtaking landscapes and terraced fields, which cover the valley to get to the town. It is also perfect for those with a yen for outdoor adventure as Lohaghat has a number of trekking trails, too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459218874230577858" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 186px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S8MKpFWfGsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/P3rDNk-weHQ/s320/askot-sanctuary.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Askot :&lt;/strong&gt; The Askot Sanctuary stands at a heightof 5412 feet and is popular amont wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Although it is supposed to house snow leopards and Himalayan black bears, we didn’t come across any.&lt;br /&gt;The Askot Musk Deer Sanctuary is also close by. We did manage to catch glimpse of some deer, and a whole lot of exotic birds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S8MLyW_Hh3I/AAAAAAAAAGI/FG9rvwNB12A/s1600/abott-mount.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459220133094852466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S8MLyW_Hh3I/AAAAAAAAAGI/FG9rvwNB12A/s320/abott-mount.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abbot Mount:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aboot Mount is a few kilometers uphill on the Marorakhan turn off the Lohaghat road. Clouds floated over and settled down on the road and we drove right through them. After this exhilarating experience, we reached the second highest cricket pitch on earth. The sprawling cottages that surrounded the ground were deserted too, with not a human voice or movement. We chose to stay the night at Mount Abbot and woke up to a melodious orchestra of bird song the next morning. It was almost noon by te time we could tear ourselves away from the place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting There:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The nearest airport is at Pantnagar near Nainital, which is about a seven and a half hour drive away from Pithoragarh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distance:&lt;/strong&gt; Pithoragarh to Abbot Mount 65 km.Aboot Mount to Lohaghat: 6 km.Lohaghat to &lt;strong&gt;Mayawati:&lt;/strong&gt; 15 kmPithoragarh to Askot: 55 km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All hotel and travel arrangements can by done by &lt;a href="http://www.awesometravels.in/"&gt;http://www.awesometravels.in/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2323547889991126620-4463267499232776517?l=blogs.awesometravels.in' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/feeds/4463267499232776517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/04/kumaon-tiger-country.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/4463267499232776517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/4463267499232776517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/04/kumaon-tiger-country.html' title='Kumaon: The Tiger Country'/><author><name>Awesome Travels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14153912139899399239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S35sxRA76LI/AAAAAAAAABM/vK5maJNRQE0/S220/awesome-travel.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S8MKAr5IxTI/AAAAAAAAAFw/-HJF0TVMQMI/s72-c/LOHAGHAT.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323547889991126620.post-4318349205610803475</id><published>2010-03-20T03:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-20T04:10:17.634-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Summer Vacation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hill Destinaions India'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hill Holidays'/><title type='text'>Destinations To Beat The Heat " Hill Stations Special "</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;If you are missing the winter chill already, you are not alone.

In the seventeenth century the Mughal emperor Jahangir set his eyes on the valley of Kashmir. He said that if paradise is anywhere on the earth, it is here, while living in a houseboat on the mesmerizing Dal Lake. In Jammu and Kashmir the most important tourist places are Kashmir, Srinagar, the Mughal Gardens, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Jammu, and Ladakh. On tour to Jammu and Kashmir, experience spectacular mountains, broken by stretches of valley and dotted with beautiful lakes. The state is studded with a number of hill stations, which are refreshing cool in summer. They offer a leisurely or adventurous holiday amidst breath-taking scenery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While on India tour, welcome to the strategically located state that constitutes the northern most extremity of India. A major portion of Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir consists of the western Himalayas, which besides many lofty mountain ranges with varying heights of 3000 to 6000 meters and above, also abound in rivers, lakes, passes, glaciers, plateaus and plains. The number of streams, brooks, hill torrents and rivers is also fairly large. The most important rivers are the Indus, Chenab, Jehlum and Ravi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;On tour to Ladakh, one can enjoy music, dance and drama which embodies religious fervour. Ladakhi songs and dances are simple in thought, content and performance too. Ladakhi dances reveal the simple and noble nature of the Ladakhi people. Song and drama both are the means towards salvation. The ancient archeological monuments and remnants speak volume of the district cultural traditions of the state. A visit to this paradise, resplendent in nature's glory, will linger long in the memory of the visitor. the natures charismatic creation with a perfect blend of good weather scenic beauty and lovely culture itself makes Jammu and Kashmir the heaven on earth so do go ahead and experience this fantabulous destination.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2323547889991126620-7275240172707798012?l=blogs.awesometravels.in' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/feeds/7275240172707798012/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/travel-destination-jammu-and-kashmir.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/7275240172707798012'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/7275240172707798012'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/travel-destination-jammu-and-kashmir.html' title='Travel Destination Jammu And Kashmir'/><author><name>Awesome Travels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14153912139899399239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S35sxRA76LI/AAAAAAAAABM/vK5maJNRQE0/S220/awesome-travel.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S54Ha2sNfrI/AAAAAAAAADw/9H4PHi81RG0/s72-c/kashmir.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323547889991126620.post-1837182638893143751</id><published>2010-03-10T03:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-20T04:34:27.669-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Make Your Honeymoon a World Tour That Suits Your Pocket too</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450674818426539970" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 158px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S6Sv3lJ7D8I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/BJs3rRxQ8NU/s200/honeymoon1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Now Adays Honeymoon Trips Are no Longer a 3n-4D Afair people are opting for more adventurous and long plans these days Because of which Round-the-world airline tickets (also known as RTW fares) are becoming more and more popular. In fact, they’re sometimes cheaper than roundtrip tickets when you’re traveling clear across the globe.&lt;br /&gt;For my best Friends Honeymoon Package I booked two round-the-world tickets with stops in Lake Como, Dubai, Shanghai, and Tokyo.We got amazing Fares that start at $1199 in coach and business class trips that include Los Angeles - Taipei - Hong Kong - Bangkok - Bangalore - Bombay - Delhi - Frankfurt - Los Angeles for under $4,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Here are some tips you can use to make your round-the-world trip as enjoyable as Ever.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do Your R&amp;amp;D (Research and Development)-Search online for “Round the World tickets” and check out the airline alliances that offer the same including &lt;a href="http://www.awesometravels.in/"&gt;http://www.awesometravels.in/&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.holidayclubindia.net/"&gt;http://www.holidayclubindia.net/&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S6SwYH80oMI/AAAAAAAAAFY/ly7UM3345T4/s1600-h/honeymoon2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450675377522647234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S6SwYH80oMI/AAAAAAAAAFY/ly7UM3345T4/s200/honeymoon2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Choose Your Favourite Weather- choose destinations with similar temperatures so you don’t have to pack extra clothes. Also watch for hurricane season, monsoon season, rainy season, etc., during the months you’re traveling and change your itinerary accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;DO upgrade to business class but DON’T bother with first class- Most airlines only have business and coach class seats so don’t bother paying for first class when you’ll get the same seat as those of us in business. You should, however, choose business class over coach. In addition to more leg room, better meals, and on-demand movies, business and first class cabins get access to airport lounges. You’ll get free wifi and food. And if your flight is delayed (which it almost always is) you’ll have a quiet place to relax and even shower if you need to.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Save your energy- Try to schedule flights at night and plan to leave the day you arrive open for acclimating to your new time zone. Night flights will also save you hotel expenses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450676841370040978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S6SxtVNPOpI/AAAAAAAAAFo/b8ZcAcQ7PS0/s200/honeymoon3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Try to pick destinations at least nine hours apart- We thought we were doing ourselves a favor by eliminating flight time, but really, we were happiest on our nine-12 hour flights (in business class). On those flights, we had time to eat and sleep and arrive well rested. Six hours is just too short and anything over 12 hours is exhausting.&lt;br /&gt;Re-plan more than you think you’ll need- I usually like to leave my itinerary open so that I have built-in freedom and flexibility, but when you’re traveling around the world, it’s a different game. Before you leave, schedule walking tours and excursions. When you get to your destination, the last thing you’ll want to do is get online and make those last minute arrangements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plan at least two (but no more than four) nights in each hotel- It was nice to stay in two different areas in each city, but I wouldn’t have wanted to change rooms any more than that. Conversely, we stayed in the same hotel for four nights in Tokyo and I wish we had switched around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work your way up- Europe is a much smoother transition for people across the globe then comes Asia and Tokyo is much smoother than Shanghai. Start with cities that are easier to acclimate to – those that have similar customs or an easy-to-navigate metro or subway system, or ones where you can speak at least some of the language - and work your way to the harder ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well my freind for sure did enjoyed her Honeymoon and i suggest you will also if you make it a world tour......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2323547889991126620-1837182638893143751?l=blogs.awesometravels.in' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/feeds/1837182638893143751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/make-your-honeymoon-world-tour-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/1837182638893143751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/1837182638893143751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/make-your-honeymoon-world-tour-that.html' title='Make Your Honeymoon a World Tour That Suits Your Pocket too'/><author><name>Awesome Travels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14153912139899399239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S35sxRA76LI/AAAAAAAAABM/vK5maJNRQE0/S220/awesome-travel.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S6Sv3lJ7D8I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/BJs3rRxQ8NU/s72-c/honeymoon1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323547889991126620.post-4631606066241283280</id><published>2010-03-10T03:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-10T03:24:15.518-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Amazing Destination- Great Barrier Reef</title><content type='html'>Bored of the normal destinations or wanna go for a scenically beautiful place then i would definately suggest you The Great Barrier Reef.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Great Barrier Reef stretches out for 2000 kilometres along the coast from the very northern tip of Queensland, Bamaga, to Bundaberg, better known as the Capricornia section of the Reef (it actually goes on until Papua New Guinea). It’s a sort of Australian Wall made out of diverse ecosystems that is also visible from space. Cairns is one of the major points from which to set off for a trip to the reef. Although you can reach many spots from whatever place on the eastern coast of Queensland, many people opt for Townsville. &lt;a href="http://www.awesometravels.in/"&gt;Awesome Travels&lt;/a&gt; Offer Special customed Barrier Reef Packages Easily Affordable And Qualitatively Superb.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Townsville, you can easily set off for the Great Barrier Reef Marinepark, that consist of hundreds of impressive uninhabited island with secluded beaches where you can stay for a few days and explore the reef area with snorkelling or diving equipment. Although accommodation is expensive one of the cheapest options is probably camping. Make sure you’ve brought along everything you needed. The closest island to the coast is Long Island and visited by many people who want to explore the barrier reef for only a day or a few hours. Maybe it’s a good idea to set off for one of the many other islands or islands groups such as the Whitsunday Islands or the Molle Islands. Daydream Island, Hook Island, Lindeman Island or Hamilton Island. and these are only a few of the many. At the Capricorn section it is more expensive to get from the coast to one of the island. However, islands such as North West, Lady Musgrave and Tyron (all of them being national parks) offer the perfect spot for relaxation.&lt;br /&gt;A little bit more to the south, you will find Fraser Island. Although the reef does not extend to this island, it is a beautiful melange of sand, sea, forests and lakes. Listed on the World Heritage List, it would be a shame to miss it when you're in the southern part of Queensland. Be aware of the dingoes. The amazing Work of Nature and natural art stunningly beautiful Islands and Coastal Beaches is what the Reef is full of so better dont miss it....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Places You Should definately Visit when You Are in Great Barrier Reef-&lt;br /&gt;Beaudesert,  Brisbane,  Bundaberg,  Cairns,  Caloundra,  Cardwell,  Carina,  Clontarf,  Cotton Tree,  Elanora,  Gladstone,  Gold Coast,  Springbrook,  Great Barrier Reef,  Gympie,  Longreach,  Mackay,  Magnetic Island,  Malanda, Maroochydore, Mena Creek, Millaa Millaa, Mission Beach,  Mooloolaba, Morayfield,  Noosa Heads,  Noosa Junction,  Palm Cove,  Port Douglas,  Rainbow Beach,  Rockhampton,  Roma,  Sandgate,  Stones Corner,  Sunshine Coast,  Toowoomba,  Townsville,  Tully national park&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to contact &lt;a href="http://www.awesometravels.in/"&gt;Awesome Travels&lt;/a&gt; for any further queries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2323547889991126620-4631606066241283280?l=blogs.awesometravels.in' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/feeds/4631606066241283280/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/amazing-destination-great-barrier-reef.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/4631606066241283280'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/4631606066241283280'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/amazing-destination-great-barrier-reef.html' title='Amazing Destination- Great Barrier Reef'/><author><name>Awesome Travels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14153912139899399239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S35sxRA76LI/AAAAAAAAABM/vK5maJNRQE0/S220/awesome-travel.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323547889991126620.post-6419270196838280246</id><published>2010-03-08T03:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-08T03:54:42.996-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Top 10 best Cruises of the World.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S5TlcPYirpI/AAAAAAAAACI/jou0t7_l0FI/s1600-h/cruise_ship.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446230122726338194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S5TlcPYirpI/AAAAAAAAACI/jou0t7_l0FI/s320/cruise_ship.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;looking for a great vacation or travel extravaganza here is what &lt;a href="http://www.awesometravels.in/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Awesome Travels&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;offer to you .... The Luxury Cruise. Gone are the cruises of yesteryear with stuffy cruisers and even stuffier interiors, and in their place are hip cruises that cater to a cooler, younger crowd with gorgeous passengers, amazing amenities and fabulous ports of call. We tracked down the top 10 cruises setting sail over the coming 12 months -- all you have to do is find your sea legs. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.1 - Oasis of the Seas, Royal CaribbeanFor:&lt;/strong&gt; Those who think size mattersDescription: While it may sound like a Titanic-esque disaster waiting to happen, Royal Caribbean assures us that its supersize ship Oasis of the Seas, launching in December, will in fact stay afloat on its maiden voyage. With that said, we recommend a trip on its four-day opening voyage around the Caribbean beginning in Fort Lauderdale and incorporating two nights in Miami at either end. As the largest ship in the world -- at least it will be when it is unveiled -- the Oasis of the Seas has more than enough amenities to keep guests amused, from a zip wire that runs along the top deck to an open-air aqua theater. As a Caribbean cruise, you can expect plenty of bikini-clad ladies too. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.2 - Serenity, Crystal CruisesFor:&lt;/strong&gt; Fashion fiendsDescription: Style and cruising don’t always go hand in hand. In fact, sophisticated ships can be damn hard to find; however, you’re guaranteed a chic time aboard Serenity, part of Crystal Cruises’ fleet and widely considered the best ship in the world. Traveling from Beijing to Hong Kong, the cruise is focused entirely around style and fashion, from fashion-themed dinners to tours around shopping malls when you dock at port. While spending money on dry land is fun, nothing, apparently, compares to pounding the plastic at sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.3 - Oberoi PhilaeFor: Luxury loversDescription:&lt;/strong&gt; It’s not hard to see why the Oberoi Philae has been voted best Nile cruiser again and again. Fusing contemporary amenities with period trimmings, the vessel is styled like a 19th-century paddler cruiser and comprises 58 sumptuous cabins. Among the polished teak and decorative iron, you’ll find a decent-sized swimming pool, a selection of old-world bars, a musty library, and a fully equipped gym area. We suggest the 10-night itinerary that cruises the Nile at a steady pace and affords two full days in Cairo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.4 - Best of South America CruiseFor:&lt;/strong&gt; SinglesDescription: Cruising is often considered something to do with your other half, watching sunsets over cocktails and dancing together in black tie attire. But why should sad singles miss out? Thankfully, Solo Holidays has tailored a cruise specifically to those who can’t get a partner, with the Best of South America Cruise taking you from the party capital of Rio in Brazil to stylish Buenos Aires in Argentina. Not only will you experience firsthand the sexiest part of the world (and, hopefully, a little sex itself), but you’ll also enjoy a number of social events on board, including singles-only tables and cocktail parties. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.5 - TwilightFor: Wannabe rednecksDescription:&lt;/strong&gt; A Mississippi River cruise can only be enjoyed on a traditional paddle wheel steamboat, and there’s no better than the Twilight. Gently cruising down one of the world’s most famous rivers, you’ll discover rural America where life moves at a slower pace and where rest and relaxation are obligatory. The boat itself is a vintage treasure, with two black smokestacks, lacy fretwork and Tiffany-style glass lamps. Departing from La Claire in Iowa, the two-day itinerary will see you meander down the Mississippi at a snail’s pace toward Dubuque, staying overnight at a hotel on the riverbank. Hearty Cajun cuisine and Dixieland tunes -- what more could a red-blooded male want form a cruise?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.6 - Polar Pioneer, Polar CruisesFor:&lt;/strong&gt; AdventurersDescription: Many cruisers want to see humpback whales and frozen ice caps as they sail through sub-zero waters, but that’s not to say they want to freeze their arses off Jack and Rose style while doing it. Fortunately, they don’t have to. Wrapped up in fur aboard the Polar Pioneer, cruisers are able to enjoy the picture-postcard beauty of Antarctica without worrying about frostbite; after all, gloves don’t come in hand when you don’t have any hands. With an emphasis on wildlife encounters, personal contact with the environs and visiting sites of historic interest, the 19-day cruise of South Georgia and Antarctica is more for nature lovers than it is for luxury lovers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.7 - Crystal Symphony, Crystal CruisesFor:&lt;/strong&gt; GolfersDescription: As part of Crystal Cruises’ Experiences of Discovery, a collection of themed cruises on a variety of niche interests, the golf cruise to Asia aboard the Crystal Symphony is akin to returning to the mother ship for argyle-clad golf fans and their bags of clubs. Sailing for a full 11 days, the itinerary includes golf-themed seminars, putting contests and private clinics with pros. The icing on the cake, however, are the ports of call, which take in four world-renowned courses in Vietnam and Thailand. Meanwhile, wives and girlfriends can enjoy the two swimming pools, an on-site spa, multiple restaurants, and a dazzling casino.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.8 - Queen Mary 2For: Classy chapsDescription:&lt;/strong&gt; While the QM2 is no longer in operation, the ship so beloved by the British has been replaced by a suitably stylish alternative: The Queen Mary 2. Already known for bringing back the glamour and style of old-world cruising, a trip aboard this Cunard classic is the perfect way to live out any Titanic-style fantasies you may be, er, harboring. Once on board, guests can enjoy 15 restaurants and bars and a total of five swimming pools, together with a casino, ballroom, theater, and planetarium. The evenings are all about tuxedos and cocktail dresses, while the day is about casually strolling the decks in tailored shorts and polo shirts. We recommend the transatlantic Southampton to New York itinerary, which incorporates six days at sea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.9 - Splendor, Carnival CruisesFor: Bachelor partiesDescription:&lt;/strong&gt; There’s never a dull moment aboard Carnival’s recently launched Splendor. Entertainment is paramount, with round-the-clock activities, a never-ending roster of Vegas-worthy shows and a huge casino that wouldn’t look out of place on the Strip. Then there are all of the usual amenities, including swimming pools, spas and restaurants, where rest and relaxation are the only order of the day. In fact, Splendor is like having a mass bachelor party at sea, with the exception of mermaid-themed strippers. We particularly like the Mexican Riviera cruise, which sets sail from Long Beach, California, and makes its way to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. Just don’t down too much tequila -- man overboard!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.10 - Spring Break Bahamas Party CruiseFor: Party animalsDescription:&lt;/strong&gt; Avoid the sick-stained streets of Cancun this spring break by taking yours aboard a luxury cruise instead. Highly recommended is the Spring Break Bahamas Party Cruise offered by Paradise Parties, which carries a boisterous, fun-loving crowd from Fort Lauderdale in Florida to Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. Revelers are catered for on a 500-foot ship with unlimited breakfast and lunch buffets, swimming pools on the deck and Vegas-style casinos. Once landed on the island, the cruise transfers you to a hotel where you’ll spend your days on the white sand beaches and your evenings partying beside the ocean. With MTV as the main sponsor, there will always be something to do. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;If you really like one of these options just &lt;a href="http://www.awesometravels.in/free-quote-for-india-tour.php"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;click and send us your reuest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2323547889991126620-6419270196838280246?l=blogs.awesometravels.in' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/feeds/6419270196838280246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/looking-for-great-vacation-or-travel.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/6419270196838280246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/6419270196838280246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/03/looking-for-great-vacation-or-travel.html' title='Top 10 best Cruises of the World.'/><author><name>Awesome Travels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14153912139899399239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S35sxRA76LI/AAAAAAAAABM/vK5maJNRQE0/S220/awesome-travel.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S5TlcPYirpI/AAAAAAAAACI/jou0t7_l0FI/s72-c/cruise_ship.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323547889991126620.post-1886728877724957418</id><published>2010-03-02T09:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-02T10:00:35.073-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hotel Packages and Hotel Booking Engine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hey Folks We just wanted to share a great news with you now &lt;a href="http://www.awesometravels.in/"&gt;Awesome Travels&lt;/a&gt; introduce our new hotel booking engine where you can book Indian hotels and Hotel packages in India.

I have heard a lot about Kerala's beauty and people also told me that if you want to go to Kerala go by train you would see the nature and real beauty of Kerala via konkan route. So we choose to go by Rajdhani it was a long journey though I hate long journey by train it was not my first long travel I also went to Darjeeling by train (North East) its was also a long journey. This was a good journey and I enjoyed the natural scenes like rivers, coconut tree, hills and many natural things. Finally we reached Trivandrum in the morning around 10 am. As It was the month of September so weather was ok not so hot. As it was 15 Days tour so we decided not to go anywhere on first day we just relaxed. Next day we visited the Kovalam beach in Kerala, its a very famous beach and visited by thousands of tourists. then we proceed to another beach like Shanghumugham another well known beach but this beach is not sporty beach waves are really huge&amp;amp; you can't think to be inside. We visited many places and enjoyed South Indian food. I must tell you about the place we saw that was Poovar Island its a amazing places and only for those people who want to be relax. We just took a boat and went to the Poovar Island a 15 min Boat ride was very beautiful it was a amazing experience initially our boat was running in a small river, both sides were covered by coconut and banana trees then we entered in the sea it was a awesome view. We had been dropped at the platform of the resort and we enjoyed our stay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another memorable drive to Kanyakumari, The town is a popular tourist place in India situated in Tamil Nadu state its about 100 km from Thiruvananthapuram and it can be visited in one day from Thiruvananthapuram. We also visited Vivekanad Rock Memorial by steamer. Vivekanad Rock is a sacred monument and popular tourist attraction in Kanyakumari.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall it was a great experience there is a lot to see in South India which cannot be covered in 15 Days. There are many things to share regarding this Kerala Tour which I will tell you in my next blog on Kerala.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2323547889991126620-7286306349734920724?l=blogs.awesometravels.in' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/feeds/7286306349734920724/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/02/kerala-tour-gods-own-country.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/7286306349734920724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2323547889991126620/posts/default/7286306349734920724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogs.awesometravels.in/2010/02/kerala-tour-gods-own-country.html' title='Kerala Tour: God&apos;s Own Country'/><author><name>Awesome Travels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14153912139899399239</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S35sxRA76LI/AAAAAAAAABM/vK5maJNRQE0/S220/awesome-travel.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CEvqLYPerVo/S4QY7tvEzRI/AAAAAAAAACA/bMCTZoNISFQ/s72-c/way-to-poovar.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323547889991126620.post-2719225992568359217</id><published>2010-02-21T05:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-21T06:28:21.841-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Low Cost Airlines Offers'/><title type='text'>Low Cost Airlines</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hi Guys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I have noticed that now people really like to travel in low cost airlines because they want to save their money. Now a days you can see when you book these low cost airlines through some travel agent you have to pay service charges and some big players in travel trade provide lots of cash back offers on low cost airlines if you book using your credit card. But if you buy the ticket directly from airlines you neither have to pay service charges nor you will get discount or cash back.
