options with five new flights out of

On Wheels Of History
Polished wooden seats, lovely brass
handles, old-fashioned light-bulbs,
leather hang-straps, rich felt screens
beneath the seat…it certainly feels
like I’ve travelled back in time.
Call Of The Falls
Karnataka is famous for its falls and
the twin falls of Shivasamudram
attract tourists in plenty. After a
season of good rains the falls are in
fine form.
The Scotland Of The East!
It’s such an unassuming place that you
will feel humbled being there.
Meghalaya has innumerable ‘heavens on
earth’ yet it doesn’t go bragging.
Travel Deals
Kingfisher Airlines has launched an
SMS-based ticketing service called
Flybuysms across all mobile networks
in India, in association with PayMate.
Chance Encounter
Imagine getting stranded in the middle
of nowhere. My car breaks down on a
long narrow potholed road that winds
its way through acres and acres of
paddy fields.
Invitation To Dream
With a richly endowed land, Kerala
Tourism Department has a lot going for
it straightaway.
In Meditative Mode
Temples today are surrounded by
concrete structures. But there was a
time when places of worship and Nature
co-existed beautifully.
Deal Of The Week
The Grand Nirvana Lake Resort situated
on National Highway 47 is 16 km. from
Alleppey and 65 km. from the Cochin
International Airport.
Classic Rock
A. L. Basham’s book “The Wonder That
Was India” may not be the most
authentic or exhaustive account on
ancient India. Many contest the
historian’s conclusions.
A Trip To Remember
Sometimes, a memorable trip is more
about the people you meet en route
than the place itself. And, the
government seems to be realising that
too.
Deal: Bali This Month
How about booking a trip to
Bali this month? Enjoy the spas, the resorts, the Barong dance
performed by the locals, and the
beautiful wooden carvings and spa
furniture you can bring back, all very
affordable.
Dykes, Windmills And Flower Fields
I joined my husband on a business trip
to Zwolle, the Netherlands, recently.
And looking back, I’m glad I did.

Linger
All my life I had fantasised over the
Cote d’Azur or ‘‘the blue coast’’ that
forms the French Mediterranean, even
hoped to visit the ultimate resort of
the rich and famous.
Call Of The Falls
Karnataka is famous for its falls and
the twin falls of Shivasamudram
attract tourists in plenty. After a
season of good rains the falls are in
fine form.
The Singapore Saga
For the discerning world voyager,
Singapore is a unique city brimming
with state-of-the-art modernity and an
interesting blend of culture,
tradition and architecture.
Chance Encounter
Imagine getting stranded in the middle
of nowhere. My car breaks down on a
long narrow potholed road that winds
its way through acres and acres of
paddy fields.
Ladakh's Lofty Passes
Located in northwest India’s Jammu and
Kashmir state, the remote Ladakh
astounds first-time visitors with its
surreal landscape – craggy peaks,
barren deserts, plunging gorges,
turquoise-green rivers and a backdrop
of ancient gompas . . . .
