Well, it largely depends on my mood and what destination. It's more fun when travelling with companions of course, but sometimes I just want to be alone on my travels. It's less hassle because I all I have to worry about is myself.

Well, they are wild animals and they will probably attack anyone who they see as a threat or anyone who they think are barging on their territory. Anyway, I think the best way to be safe is to veer away from their path. Ask the locals or the authorities in the areas that you would be going on...

It is always advisable to have travel insurance whenever embarking on adventures in and outside of one's country. And it also helps if one has a personal coverage as well. Moreover, make sure that you are prepared in case emergencies happen. I always have my first aid kit with me whenever I...

I always make it a point to give at the end of every cab ride, especially if the driver is really nice. But I've encountered some unscrupulous ones before and they tend to ask for exorbitant tips. I stick to what I am able to give. It really turns me off when they demand a tip. I still give...

I think it would be allowed in most areas, except for areas of worship (probably?). Anyway, if your drone doesn't make much noise and it won't be disturbing anyone, I think that it would be okay to use it.

I don't really use the laundry services of hotels because I tend to do my own laundry when I travel. Most hotels have laundry services, even the small ones, so I guess this wouldn't be a problem. If you the hotel that you're staying don't offer such service, may be you can find a nearby laundromat.

I think that this is actually good, especially on buses and trains where it can easily get crowded and people brush each other's bodies. This will not only prevent girls from being groped by unscrupulous individuals but this can also prevent misunderstandings. In crowded places such as the...

I'm not much of a party person now compared to when I was younger. I guess when one wants to go partying, the big cities would be abound with clubs and bars. Even beach resorts now can be considered as partying destinations.

I guess if you're in the urban areas, internet connection will not be a problem. There are internet cafes, and I think there would be wifi available in the hotels. But just to be safe, I think you better bring a pocket wifi, or maybe you can use your phone's data plan if you have it.

I usually do most of my travelling during October because it's usually Autumn in most countries. And the weather is just perfect, not too cold and not too hot. And based on what I've read about India, it is best to travel there between the end of October and mid-March.

I don't know if it's popular in India, but in Middle East, yes. I think that camel is their main source of milk as bovine is scarce there. I had a chance to taste camel milk because some of my office mates were Middle Eastern. It's a bit salty than most milk but I've heard that it has more...

Wow! Those pictures are mouth-watering. They made me go hungry. I usually don't eat breakfast, but I guess I can have those for lunch right? Or perhaps I can eat them anytime of the day. I hope that in India, they also serve it anytime of the day, not just during breakfast

Those phrases are really helpful. Thank you. I understand that India is a multi-lingual country so I guess there would be slight differences, so thank you again for posting the most common phrases that people who don't speak Indian language can use.

Well, it doesn't really have to do anything with the place. ;) Basing on my experience, whenever there's a bazaar or a flea market, even if I don't have plans on buying anything, I tend to buy stuff, even though I do not need them. I think most girls like me are like that. Shopping is life...

I don't know anything about Mussoorie but from what I've read from here, it would seem like a great place to go. I got to know about Shimla because of the movie 3 idiots which starred Aamir Khan. From what I've seen in the movie, it's a really beautiful place, but kind of far from the capital...
