Swine Flu and Fighting with Taxi Drivers
Advantages: Clean, efficient, well thought out
Disadvantages: Not everything's in place yet and the pre-paid system doesn't work outside office hours
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport opened in March 2008, taking over the business that had previously been served by the much more central Begumpet airport. As so often happens, airports become the victim of their own success - do too well and you become obsolete and get replaced by something bigger and shinier but much further from the city. The airport was ready long before the infrastructure that's needed to support it - hence you'll find lots ...
...a hotel near the airport. There's only one - the Novotel - so for everyone else, there's an inevitably long journey to be made. There will be train links and fancier roads sometime in the future but for now, it's not the easiest or most convenient place to get to and from.
Arrival
It's a fairly safe comment to make that it's never a great experience to land at an airport you don't know at 4.45 in the morning. Our recent visit to Hyderabad ...

Gujarat, close to heart
Advantages: Variety of place from beach to hill stations
Disadvantages: No alcohol without permit, no nightlife
...such in any city of Gujarat, but Navratri-famous festival and landmark of Gujarat celebrated in span of nine nights. Must see and visit Garba if u want to see Gujarati culture.
Gujarat is suppose to be one of the most rich state of India. Gujaratis are spread all over world for business and family reasons.
Capital is Gandhinagar which is cool and calm but most happening city is Ahmedabad which is just 30 min drive from Gandhinagar.
Very safe and ...

Dudhsager Falls
Advantages: Beautiful scenery, get to feed wild monkeys, good value for money
Disadvantages: No disabled access.
...there, we went to visit Dudhsager Falls.
About Dudhsager Falls
The Dudsager Falls are on the border of Karnataka and Goa. The highest point of the falls is 600 metres and it is classed as the 5th highest waterfall in the world. The falls themselves are located inside a tropical jungle with lots of beautiful scenery all around.
Getting There
We stayed in Calangute in Goa and to get to the falls, we took a taxi which took about an hour to get there. ...
...bad really as that taxi actually sat and waited for us, and came on the trip with us, giving us lots of background information about the area.
Once You Arrive
Once we arrived in Mollem which is the town the Falls are located in, our taxi driver took us to the people organising the trips to the falls. The Falls are located within a Nature Park and in order to get there, you have to take a Jeep which cost £5 for a return journey. You need six people ...

Barracuda Divers - Goa
Advantages: A great dive school. Reasonable costs for diving
Disadvantages: Not first class visibility
...eye in particular was Barracuda Diving as the web site looked and they were also a PADI 5 star IDC centre which I knew was an excellent start..
I whizzed off a email explaining a bit about myself ,how much I wanted to complete a course, but also the fact of how nervous I was and also that I was dyslexic and found learning theory difficult. I quickly had a reply from Karen who said that, that was no problem at all for them. I decided that I would ...

Diving Karnataka And Cultural Trip In South India.
This is a review about a diving tour in India. This particular trip was in March 2005.We had dived many times from the Marriott Hotel in Goa from where Barracuda Diving are based but fancied doing something a little different whilst enjoying our favourite hobby….scuba diving so this time we opted to go South. This review is based on the trip itself and the diving rather than the dive school of which ...
...at our usual haunt Barracuda Diving at Miramar at 9.30 and helped load up the 4 X 4 vehicle. As we were going to be around 5 hours away it was even more important to take the right kit. We were introduced to another diving couple who we were going to be joining. We had a driver and would be joined in Murudeshwar by the dive guide who was meeting us there by train as there was not enough room for him in the Jeep.
We set off on yet another one of ...
