Hello,
Thank you for subscribing to India Travel Blog newsletter. Feel free to forward this to anyone you know who would be interested.
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.
The day passed by, and I did realize it then..
India Travel Blog has completed two years of its existence on the 1st of July. The first post was made on 1st July 2005.
The Blog now has exactly 200 posts on it from various places all over India, and sees more than a thousand page impressions every day. Thanks to your visits, comments and many pat-in-the-back emails, it has grown to a level much more than I imagined when I started it. Someday, I hope India Travel Blog and India Image Gallery will be the place where you can find trip reports and images from every place in India!
Here is a summary of all posts on North East India series I had been writing till now.
