New stories since last dispatch<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a quick summary of all major stories published on India Travel Blog since last newsletter despatch in August<\/p>\n

Book Reviews. <\/strong>There are two book reviews posted in the past month.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Two in a Bush by Gerald Durrell<\/a>, a travelogue by a naturalist about seeing some strange and exotic fauna in Australi, New Zealnad and Malaya.<\/li>\n
  2. A Journey in Ladakh by Andrew Harvey<\/a>, a book on author’s quest for spirituality in Ladakh.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Shimla. <\/strong>Read about a visit to Shimla and nearby places<\/a>-Chail, Mashobra and Kasauli. Also see images from the region<\/a> spread across multiple posts.<\/p>\n

    Chikmagalur. <\/strong>Read my post about the wet foggy hills of Chikmagalur<\/a> during the monsoons.<\/p>\n

    Travel Photography – photographing the mountains. <\/strong>I made a presentation on photographing the mountains<\/a> to the jury and winners of Club Mahindra My Trip of a Lifetime contest. The slides of the presentation – a collection of images – are now available online. However, the detailed content\/audio of the presentation is not available.<\/p>\n

    Badami. <\/strong>I posted a series of images on the small town of Badami known for its historical cave temples. Besides the beautiful setting of those caves carved in red sandstone, I posted pictures of its landscape, its Agastya lake, people, kids, houses and daily life in the town. See all those posts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Posts from Ladakh.<\/strong> The series of travel guides and stories I have been writing on Ladakh have slowed down, but will continue in December. Below are the last three stories.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I stayed in a small guesthouse owned by friendly Ladakhis in Leh. Here is a post<\/a> about the people and ambience of the guesthouse.<\/li>\n
    2. Your guide to Leh<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. It is commonly assumed that only way to get from place to place in Ladakh is to hire a cab. Public transport does exist but is not frequent. While it may not be practical to wait for a bus to go everywhere, there are some places which can be easily covered by buses. Here is a guide to using public transport in Ladakh<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In November, we will have some posts on travel photography and a few on Ladakh. Also lookout for some fresh images of winter lanscapes. Happy travelling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
