look all around you my friend and you'll find silence and remoteness. Silence because man creates too much noise and everthhing else calms in comparison. And remoteness because man has alienated himself to such an extent from the realness of exsistence that if now someone looks at the sky or the ground one feels nothing. There is too much stuff doing rounds of one head at any moment of time for him to know anything.
that's sad, and that needs to be changed by each individual trying to seethings M.Raman |

Once during my college days I was visiting Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. I went to a lonely gompa (Buddhist monastery) to the north of Tawang. From top of that only thing you could see was white mountains (no road, no house, no people, no animal, no vegetation, nothing).
I felt like I was at the end of world. |

For such a populated country, it's surprisingly easy to find yourself all alone in India, particularly up in the mountains, but there's also plenty of wilderness on the plateau

Patalkot in MP
Patalkot is in Chindwara district of MP. and Chindwara itself is a forest district Imagine a civilzation thriving at a depth of 1200-1500 feet in a valley. Because of the great depth at which it is located this place is christened as 'Patalkot' ('Patal means very deep, in Sanskrit also indicates "area below earth" in sanskrit). Looking from top,all you can see is a deep valley, densely forested. There is also river flowing through the beautiful valley. Because of the inaccessibility of this area, the tribals of this region were totally cut off from the civilized world. The tribals here lived a self sufficient lifestyle and rarely ventured out into the outside world. The forest is dense but not very dangerous. The whole place is pristine as if untouched by over 4000 years of civilization. do visit

But then yes Andamans is so lovely that even 05 days were too less. I rem well that near our hotel (Hotel Tejas) there was a tourism office which was open and i entered there to found no one around..at last I saw a gardener who innocently said that as there are no burglars around in the place its pretty safe...something which I can never think of in places like Delhi, jaipur or for tht matter any city in India |

Namaste,
Is the one no one tells you about, for the very reason as soon as some one knows, everyone goes there and ruins it for everyone else. So the answer is a secret place that only you know about. You never hear about the most crowed place there is do you? Well for example what is the most crowded place in India? peace, gregor

I agree rangss, Narmada has its own sanctity.. unspoiled by the waves of commercialisation... the little towns and villages that dot the river banks are the most pristine and in a way remote.. wondering how are they surviving the onslaught of commercialisation

A Kumbh Mela is the most crowded place to be in India. How about Mumbai Churchgate station? In Chennai, nothing can get more crowded than Ranganathan Street in Mambalam. |
