Backpacking Through India

Friday, December 25th, 2009

With the hundreds and thousands of people that go backpacking on a yearly basis, India has established itself as a firm favorite, and that is no mean feat when you consider the range of locations that backpackers can choose from. So, what is it that makes India such a popular backpacking destination?

Traveling in India is never boring and there is always something to write home about, especially if you venture away from the backpacker hotspots and are determined to discover India outside of the most popular destinations. Then you will feel more like a traveler and less like a tourist.

In the half a year that the majority of tourist visas permit, you can backpack extensively, and still feel as though you only took in a tiny part of what is there. In fact, India is big enough that you could spend a number of years there without seeing all of its charms. You will find beautiful Himalayan valleys, breathtaking mountain views, tropical beaches and holy cities.

Travel To Mount Abu: Rajasthan’s Summer Resort

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

In the colorful desert land of Rajasthan, there is much more to explore apart from historical forts & palaces & exciting camel safaris. Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan, is one such place that is blessed with spell binding natural beauty and religious significance. As the legend goes, when sage Vashishtha’s cow Nandini was trapped in a deep gorge, Lord Shiva sent the divine stream ‘Saraswati’ to help flood the gorge so that the cow could float up. Sage Vashishtha then asked the youngest son of Himalaya to fill the chasm permanently. He did the same with the help of Arbud, the mighty snake, after which the place was called ‘Mount Arbud’ (which was later renamed as Mount Abu).

Earlier a part of the Chauhan kingdom, Mount Abu served as a summer resort for the Rajput kings as well as the British. When it comes to the religious significance, people believe that it was the home of many saints and sages in the old days. Even all the 330 million Hindu Gods and Goddesses used to visit this holy mountain. The place holds significance for the Jainis since after Lord Mahavira (24th Jain Tirthankar) visited and blessed the city.
