With more than 250 posts, 2009 was the most active year on India Travel Blog. Despite that, I am yet to complete writing about places I have visited more than a year ago. I also increased focus on photography and started a series on travel photography, writing articles to help in making better images. The prominent stories of the year were the series on Rajasthan, Ladakh, travel photography and Badami. There were 6 book reviews in all. There were also reports on visit to Kasargod, Chikmagalur, Shimla and a lot of photos.

I do not know yet about where I would travel and what I would write about in 2010. There are many images to post and stories to write from the past trips, which should keep me occupied for next 3-4 months. I am likely to focus more on making better pictures and take baby steps into making small travel video snippets whenever possible. I would love to hear from you about what would you like to see on this page in 2010. Do leave a comment and let me know your suggestions. I also started accepting guest posts in 2009, though in small numbers. I intend to increase it slightly, adding one or two guest posts from willing contributors every month.

I wish you a very fruitful and happy year ahead. May you have a great year ahead and may all your wises come true.

I am on the way to the heart of India, starting my journey from the small historical town of Orchha. Orchha turned out to be a lot more beautiful than I expected. A river with clear waters, some charming monuments, temples and a lot of birds. The rocky river bed is the kind of place where I would like to sit and while away the whole day. I will try to make a few posts on my journeys while I travel in the next two weeks, passing through Khajuraho, Jabalpur and a few more places. Hopefully, I will be tweeting about my journeys as well. I have never been good with twitter, but I promise I will try! Follow me on indiatravelblog twitter account.

I have been mostly home and quiet since my Shimla trip. I have made a few short journeys though – a weekend trip to Chikmagalur and another one to Coorg on work. One more is soon to follow this weekend, where I am taking a group of travellers to Coorg (more details here).

But my wishlist for near future is long, like a wishlist always is. I have been hatching a plan to spend two weeks in Madhya Pradesh, but it is not concrete yet. With the arrival of winter visitors, I intend to do some bird watching and photography in the western ghats, hopefully in Dandeli in surrounding areas. I also wish to make a trip to the coast of Karnataka and photograph winter landscapes by the sea. Gokarna is one place I can think of, where I can spend days and days. A friend is also tempting me for a short trek in the Himalayas.

Only yesterday, I saw some images from Sandakphu and wondered how I never knew much about this magical place. I don’t think there are many places on earth from where you can get clear views of both Kanchenjunga and Everest.

In the meanwhile, I am doing short birding outings out of the city and am tempted to do more and more of it. Just outside the urban expanse is such a rich variety of birds, one can easily spend the entire winter just looking for them.

Most likely I will begin making some travel plans once I am back from the TravelWise trip to Coorg. Of course, ideally I would like to be in all these places, but winter is short and when the summer comes, it is time to stay home. I will keep you updated as things start rolling.
