After completing the North-East trip story, I was thinking about starting writing on Himachal trip, but thought will deviate a bit from the usual routine of posting trip reports one after other and have some change here. So next few weeks on India Travel Blog will be about things related to travel that I found interesting, or some trivia, or stuff that attracted me during my many journeys, and things of such kind. Right now, I can’t really think of what to write, but hopefully some ideas will surface in the coming days. In the meanwhile, if there is something you can think of, or something you want me to write about, do drop me a comment.
Below is a copy of India Travel Blog newsletter. The newsletter dispatch is sporadic and infrequent, but I try to send it out once a month. Last newsletter was sent out on May 31st. Posted here is the July newsletter that was emailed on Saturday. To get this occasional newsletter, which announces important happenings in India Travel Blog and also summarizes the recent content, subscribe to it by keying in your email id on the box at the top-right corner
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!
