dante77 Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 @Sach4life - Have you searched Hilton Garden Inn in Little India? It was around 28k for 2 people 4 nights when we went in 2017 Oct/Nov end. That is around 7k, which is close to your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roun90 Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) @Sach4life When I stayed in Singapore, I stayed in a hotel called Orchid Country Club. It's a beautiful hotel that's very scenic, with amazing views, has it's own golf course, bowling lane, stores etc. attached. If you book early you might get rooms for 10k-13k range too. The scenery was extremely good, it was not congested as Little India tends to be. Try it. Not many people know about it I think. Though you might need taxis to move about from there (Though Distance between places is generally only 20 mins-45 mins by taxi, not long at all) https://www.tripadvisor.in/Hotel_Review-g294265-d1531978-Reviews-Orchid_Country_Club-Singapore.html On another note, if you're going to SG, remember that most of the country closes at around 9 (Other than essentials, medical stores etc.). Even restaurants will shut down (They'll start taking their last orders by 8 or so) - other than some restos in Mustafa Market/Little India. This is also true if you're somehow in Sentosa etc. (Only 1 resto near Night Safari was open, and all restos open in night I've seen were Punjabi or South Indian food). So if you're going there, ensure you'll start wrapping up by 6, having dinner by 6/7 and arranging for transport back to hotel early.

Just checked on MMT. Shows 8k+2k tax. 10k is cheapest and around 12-15k average. Add convenience charges and falana dhimkama, then you're right. WTF First flight cost and now this! Was thinking of travelling once again with wife but looking at the prices, I think I'll probably drop the idea lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be our first time there. Where should we be looking to stay and any suggestions for decent hotels in that area? Budget per night will be around 8-10K per night Try Furama City Center, its located smack dab in the middle of Chinatown. Bus stations, and MRT station right downstairs - so super well connected. Chinatown is a good neighbourhood and has lots of cheap eats, and unlike Little India its all skyscrapers so gives you the quintessential Singapore experience. Clarke Quay is 5 mins away walking, there is a neat little bridge, and the river cruise takes off from there every every day which I recommend doing. Plus, there are a fair few indian restaurants along the river if you crave the same. Will probably be priced around 10-12K a night, stay was quite satisfactory for me. Stayed in December 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hi everyone! Went to the tiny hamlet of Kasol, in Himachal Pradesh for a short holiday with the lads. Kasol is famous for, well, Anyway, yeah rumours are well and true. Lots of drinking, smoking and partying. One can pretty much roll in the open, peddlars are everywhere to sell you all sorts of substances. But this is a side benefit at best - Kasol and the neighbouring villages within Parvati Valley are an absolute treat for the eyes and one hell of a sight to take in. Also, its super easy to access via bus from Delhi. Redbus has a lot of super comfortable options, can recommend for a friends trip. Just including some pictures here. Can post more details or answer questions if needed! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerY2J Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) First Trek : Kashmir Great Lakes (13715 feet) About 6 day trek and everyone's watch showed about 95-100 kms. Huge muscle/weight loss of 5 kgs as well in the 7 days of trek. Had trouble sleeping at night, claustrophobia in the small tent and sleeping bag, but other than that Felt easy to me physically except the last day which had mostly descent throughout, that was the only day my knees were feeling it. Nice hybrid and a very beautiful scenic trek which had all of it : Rains, muddy paths,mountains, snow, streams, open meadows, stony paths, beautiful lakes and forests. I find this the cheapest form of travel/vacation if one is fit, really therapeutic and detachment from reality. Only if the food served was better. Also, started hailing at the peak point of the trek and don't know whenever it starts raining my inner child wants to get shirtless, so managed to snap a pic as well. Also, credits to @eddy4823 From whom I got to know about this trek and some help as well. Edited July 15, 2023 by GunnerY2J 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
