I am a female whoI will be in India in business and hoping to get to Jalandhar from Mumbai. I will be travelling on my own and am a bit concerned about the safest way to travel. I have been told I can fly, but cannot find any information on an airport in Jalandhar. Additionally, I have minimal time and would like to shorten travel time however possible. Money isn't so much an issue for the purpose of getting there and back to mumbai.

Any advice would be most appreciated. ]]> indiabound09 http://www.indiamike.com/india/punjab-and-haryana-f20/quickest-safest-way-from-mumbai-jalandhar-and-back-t94769/ http://www.indiamike.com/india/punjab-and-haryana-f20/punjab-farm-tourism-scheme-t94759/ Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:25:06 GMT Hello folks,

I'm interested in doing an article for the newspaper I work for (The Statesman) on the Punjab Farm Tourism Scheme:

Can anyone help in terms of contact details etc? A web search only brings up news articles like the above.

Cheers

I'm soon to embark on my second trip to India :D. One of my first destinations is the Golden Temple in Amritsar. I'll only be there for the day, so will have my large backpack with me.

When visiting the temple, will I be able to carry this with me? If not, is there a safe place to leave it?

Many Thanks,

Nick. ]]> njm44 http://www.indiamike.com/india/punjab-and-haryana-f20/golden-temple-luggage-t94550/ http://www.indiamike.com/india/punjab-and-haryana-f20/accommodation-in-garshankhar-punjab-or-nearby-t94231/ Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:00:30 GMT Hello, I am travelling with my wife to Garshankhar and Nawan Shehar (the spelling might be wrong) Punjab region, to attend a friend's wedding. Can anyone recommend any good hotels/accommodation (7 nights) in these towns? I have looked but can't find any links/websites on Internet for any hotels in these towns. Any help is most appreciated. Thank you.

I, along with 6 others plan to visit Kasauli sometime during the second week of November (2009). I am familiar with the route and all. However, what I wanted to know is the following:

1. Can we get accommodation there at Kasauli? Please note that we won't be pre-booking any room(s).

2. If we do need to book the rooms in advance, then from where can I do so? I don't see any links or anything (through Google) which can guide me to a particular hotel's website where I can book rooms.

3. The group's budget is not that high. Can we get like 3 rooms or so @ maximum 700-800 bucks per room? Are there any such hotels in Kasauli?

4. Lastly, if we fail to get any vacant rooms in Kasauli, what would be the next best option? Come down to Dharampur and staying there? Or something else?

Please help guys.

Thanks,
