- MOST ADVENTUROUS ROAD OF INDIA By: tiya - Manali –Leh (Himalayas) Best time is August
This road is not child’s play, but it will take you past some aftermost spectacular scenery in India. Because it’s a strategic road, it’s tended round the clock, but there are always sections that are broken, crisscrossed by glacial streams or blocked by landslides. This makes an SUV the only sensible option. Also remember that the last fuel pump before Leh is at Tandi- some 370 km away. Carry extra fuel in cans.

- ADVENTURES OF BR HILLS IN INDIA By: tiya - LOCATION: State Karnatka, India
What can you say about a place where the local deity is a wandering spirit who wears outsized sandals? And a region so wild that the milestones are painted yellow and green for fear of marauding elephants? For some obscure reason, wild elephants in these parts get so peeved by white milestones that they pull them out and fling them around. The Forest Department recently pulled one of these specimens out of a tree.
Welcome To BR HILLS.

- AN ACTIVE VOLCANO( ISLAND) By: tiya - Disbelief registers quickly on most people’s faces when I tell them that India has an active volcano. Well, the truth is that India does have volcanoes. And, historically, the most active volcano along the volcanic arc extending between Sumatra and Burma is India’s very own Barren Island. With reported eruptions dating back to 1787, we have known the volcano’s existence for centuries. However, inaccessibility and limited, poorly publicized research has long rendered the island an enigma unto itself.

- ATHENS-CLASSICAL DESTINATION By: tiya - When in Athens, do as millions of other tourists do: begin your tour at the Acropolis. In fact, go one better than thousands of them by being there by
8am: you’ll beat the coach loads of cruise-ship tourists who begin arriving by 10 and swarm up the ‘hill’ like culturally dedicated ants. (Open Tues-Sun 8am -6.30pm; Mon opens 11am. Entry?). Valid 48 hours.)
The Acropolis is at the heart of the city, in more ways than one.

- ADVENTURE TRAVELING By: tiya - Rann of Kutch (Gujarat, India)
The desert is not always a waste. Head for the 18,000 sq km area in the north of Gujarat to find out how much of a waste it isn’t. The Great Rann was originally an extension of the Arabian Sea, closed off by centuries of silting. In Alexander the Great’s time it was a navigable lake, but it is now an extensive mudflat, inundated during the monsoon. No visitor to the Great Rann has yet been disappointed;

- A Quick Tour Of Italy - Eastern Liguria By: Levi Reiss - If you are thinking about a tour of Europe, why don't you consider the Liguria region of northern Italy, commonly known as the Italian Riviera? This thin strip of land lies on the Ligurian Sea, not far from Monaco and the French Riviera. While Liguria is by no means undiscovered, its crowds are much smaller than those next door. There are many little towns or villages, and one international port city almost smack dab in the center of the coast.
