|  Hi there!! hello from Bangkok, Thailand. I'm Zenniesha, 22, female and looking to travel back to India again in this month. Can anybody here tell me where I should go? Like, I've been to Rajasthan and I absolutely loved it there but I'm taking my lil spoiled sis with me back to India and I've absolutely no idea where else I could enjoy a peaceful, harmless and not so busy cities in India: and if anybody here are planning trip to dharamsala around next week please feel free to come say hi cuz It woulda be nice to get to know more people since I aint really got no friends there in India but would love to meet new faces! But i really need suggestion for a place to escape to apart from other than dharamsala. I've fallen in love with India. Its so different from Bangkok : ) I think I'll be traveling around next week but I need my destination..seriously it can be anywhere in India, I love the people there too so it aint a prob with beggars..I made friends with dem n dey didn't really bothered me. Anyway, holla back!? Thank you  hope yall having a good time both in India n at ur current towns ; ) |

| This is a very common question and there are some dedicated thread ha ha ha….. but I am really sorry, I had never been to Goa  so I am not very sure about the reaction. But your observation is right – comparatively conservative. South India? Not bad but again hill stations like Ooty / Kodaikanal / Munnar……. It will be cloudy . Hey Zennieshax, have you tried Madhya Pradesh? http://www.mptourism.com/dest/index.html - Somnath |

 | Try Manali.. (Kullu ie) Weather is clear and you can hop over to Mcleodganj after that or even take a trip to Palampur etc. Typical not-so-busy places. |

| There are very few places in India where a bikini would be acceptable --- or, rather, it might be too acceptable, and get you way too much unwanted attention. Figure that Indian women, if they bathe in the sea, do so fully clothed! I've never been to Goa, but I'd guess that at some of the tourist beaches there you might even feel overdressed in a bikini! Kovalam, in Kerala, is another place where Western dress code prevails on the beach --- but you may still find that you attract attention. Frankly, two beautiful bikini-ed Thai girls on the beach would attract my attention  ! Anyway... you have travelled in India before, so I'm sure you're aware of all this stuff. |

| Nice time to visit India Hi Good to hear that you are visiting India.I think South India is a good option.Of late I have been travelling to the South and love the culture and life style there. I plan to visit Kerala-Munnar, Thekaddy,kovalam and Alapuzzha some time soon as I have heard its beautiful.I have visited the shore temple in Mahabalipuram and they have a beautiful temple besides the beach.Good to spend a laid back day or two. Thanks |

| If you here in August then you must / should / definately should pay Ladakh a visit. Anything written or 'clicked' about the place doesn't even cut it. |

| The sea in both Goa and Keralla is rough and dangerous in the Monsoon ..... but a bikini on the beach should not be a problem. I've seen some big scary people in tiny thongs on Goa beach .... still trying to erase the image from my mind.  Amritsar is worth considering .... the Golden Temple is an amazing, spiritual place .... or perhaps Udaipur? The Oberoi and the Taj Lake Palace are stunning hotels if you want pampered luxury, and with your own private entry to the swimming pool at the Undaivillas you can wear what you like to go swimming . |
