Indiamike in New York Times Article

Great publicity for IndiaMike. Got a mention in the Travel Section article in New York times.

http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/03/25...l/25India.html

Seems the traffic in the community will keep growing with such publicity

Besides taking along the Lonely Planet or Rough Guide, check out the friendly online forum at www.indiamike.com: it effectively puts the collective wisdom of all backpackers in India at your disposal, which is even more useful than it sounds.
Thats nice.

It's a good, detailed article too.

Welcome, Dataguru

Perhaps we should have one of those 'how did you hear of...' questions a part of the signup!

Thats nice.

But what an irony! The article tells you how to travel with truck loads of money, lists hotels like Oberoi Amarvilas starting from $600 and then mentions a forum for - according to them - backpackers! So much for travel writing!

welcome. Data, India hasn't changed much in 4 years. the folks that haven't been in 10 or more years are the ones who find everything topsy-turvey (for a few days anyway)
