Do avoid eating food on the street in India. Especially be careful with the drinking water. Most people who travel to India especially if travelling for long can get a bout of Diarreha. The cause is usually ameoba infections. The best treatment is a Drug called Ciplox-TZ that is manufactured by a company called Cipla. It is a combination of Ciprofloxacin 500mg plus Tinidazole 600mg. There are other manufacturers too. This drug must be taken twice a day for 5 to 7 days. The diarreha will stop within a day or two but continue for atleast 5 days if not more. Usually if you stop in between chances are of a recurrence.
Most medicines in India are much cheaper upto 10 times less than Europe or the US. Try to buy medicines from a large store in Big cities. Check on the name of the Manufacturer.

Tips for Kerala
My husband and I are visiting India for the first time, next month. We are flying into Kochi and then back out from Thiruvananthapuram ten days later. We are older (wrong side of 50) travellers and not too keen on really roughing it.
I've been finding it hard to find good budget to mid range accommodation to book for our first night in Fort Cochin. Any suggstions anyone?
Does anyone know if we are likly to find it hard to pick up accommodation at this time of the year as we travel round?
Also, any suggestions of places we really shouldn't miss would be most welcome. I can already see that there is just not going to be time to fit in as much as we would like. My husband is a great walker, but I'm more into crafts and cultural things.

jasonjohn Hi,
Don't miss the backwater cruise and also the house boat trip from Alleppey.St Francis Church and the Jewish Synagogue at Fort Cochin are something you'll find hard not ot visit.
Other places are Kovalam,near Trivandrum or Thiruvanthapuram, Thekkady Wildlife Sanctuary, Kumarakom etc.
It should not be hard to find a place to stay at fort Cochin.There are somany homestays thst you could find on the net.
have a nice trip in my homeland,Jason

swan_summers Hi All,
This was the photograph I shot in my Darjeeling Trip. I took a Joy Ride of DHR from Darjeeling to Ghoom. The Heritage train stops at Batasia Loop for 10 Minutes. From there I shot this picture viewing Kanchanjunga Mountain. There is one memorial in Batasia Loop, You can see one sculpture (upper half of body of Army Man in the picture). The big white mountain is the Kanchanjunga view from Batasia Loop.

michalupo Yes... Heading there and Nepal for the first time for a 4 month trip. How about you?
iloveshoes going to delhi and traveling down south,first time i have been so dont know what to expect.have u been
iloveshoes sorry just realised this is ur first time to
michalupo Haha yeah. We're looking at a very tentative plan of Mumbai>Cochin>Munnar>Madurai>Maybe Goa if we need a break>Hampi and then to Rajastan and Varanasi on the way to Nepal. Obviously it gets looser as we go, who knows if we'll stick with the plan but like to come with something in mind. A lot of my israeli friends have gone so I heard lots but the consensus seems to be that you can't imagine it until you're there. Basically expect the unexpected and you'll love it.
judyshai We're planning a 3 week trip to south India & we have quite an interesting tour planned thru The Travel Planet India. Does anyone know about them, any eperience with them? Any words of wisdom appreciated.
