India Travel Blog is now two years old. The first ever post was made on the 1st of July 2005. The post celebrating 2 years of India Travel Blog also happened to be 200th post on the blog.

UPDATES IN THE LAST MONTH

The trip report on North East India is now completed, covering Guwahati, Eaglenest, Tawang, Nameri, Kaziranga, Shillong and Cherrapunjee. See summary of all post on the trip.

The desktop calendar wallpaper for July also features one of the well known places in the North-East – Cherrapunjee.

Two new travel book reviews have been added in the last month –
1. Roar of the Ganges by Mark Barian.
2. Slowly down the Ganges by Eric Newby

This is the beautiful season of monsoons in India and it will be green all over the place. Mountain streams will be alive with gushing water and waterfalls will come alive. See a compilation of waterfalls around Bangalore. If you are planning a monsoon journey, see a list of trip reports on many monsoon journeys.

This May has been the most active month ever in India Travel Blog, with 22 posts made in the month and at least 2 more to go. This month is also the first time that the average page views over the month on India Travel Blog has crossed 1000 views per day.

This month, I completed writing about two major places in the North East – Eaglenest National Park and Tawang. My journey to Tawang was an eventful and memorable one, and writing about it made me recall it fondly.

Other than the north east diaries, following content was added to the blog in May.

1. Book Review – Tales from the Torrid Zone by Alexander Frater

2. Spiritual Journeys – A meditation retreat

3. Pictures from my recent trek to Thadiyandamol peak spread over many posts.

In the coming month, I am going to be back on the road again, travelling to Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh. I will be away for the first three weeks of June, and updates are most likely going to be sporadic, if at all. Once I return, I shall continue writing about more places about North East, on which I still have a lot more to write and lots of pictures to post.

Happy Travelling and Happy Reading!
