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 monsoon – not a perfect time for hills else I could recommend Darjeeling + Sikkim. But someone told me Goa looks beautiful in rainy season.

Thanks! I've done a few research on Goa, beautiful place..but indian are very conservative u think it'll be a prob if we two (me n my sis) gon be in bikinis? N is it safe to swim!? So monson season, I see...I was thinking Sikkim or kullu, but guess I'll have to find other places..u suggesting south India?

somnath · Jul 15th, 2008, 02:19

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?

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.

If you like to just relax then Kerala will be good place. http://www.keralatourism.org/

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.

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

Zennieshax · Jul 15th, 2008, 15:22

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.

Go trekking in the Himalayas !!!

There are ONLY THREE months for real high altitude trekking in the Himalaya. (July-Aug-Sept). There are many many treks to choose from.

See this link written in Thai language about a trip to the valley of flowers ....

And see the IM thread where this link was given.

See some excellent photographs of a trek done by AndreasW here.

.
Happy Trails

and if you decide to trek,

HAPPY TREKKING

Oh by the way I forgot to mention I am Javed Khan..I think I would need interesting&adventurous company so if you are yes I am game for it.

Lol.. And soon this forum may turn into 'Desperate Romeos looking for love' forum.

Hehehehe... On a serious note, Mcleodganj is good.

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
