Hi,
I'm coming to Delhi in the middle of the night - at 00:30 (hopefully, since I'm flying with stand by tickets). Are there agencies at the airport arrivals, which are opened 24/7, so that I can get a hotel room for the night? It's inconvenient for me to book the room in advance, as I don't know if I'll manage to get on that flight.
And another question: Is it possible to purchase tickets for Kathmandu (Jet Air, India Airlines,...) right there at the airport, or do I have to go downtown and search for the Airline offices (I know they all have premises in Connaught Place).
Thanks in advance,
regards
Iva
I am really disappointed by the lack of information regarding Colombo sights.....How many times does the book mention Barefoot cafe, it is on the Colombo highlights page--- a shop!

Hi everybody,
It seems that my life have stumbled on to another serious crisis. I will find myself in Nepal in the next few months. The dilemma that is which trek to take. I think with my budget, and time constraints. I can only take 10 days off. Which filters out the big treks. I am deciding whether to do Langtang, Poon Hill or Helambu. I am wondering if there are veteran trekkers out there who can help me to decide? Or there are other treks that I missed out?
I think the key consideration will be scenery and visibility and I would like a good mix of cultures but would that achievable in a short trek?.
Thanks,
Derek

Hi there,
I would really appreciate anyones thought on this...Am planning to do a month in Nepal to include the Annapurna trek or EBC and in addition a few days in Chitwan. I am pretty phobic about spiders and to be honest had kind of thought they wouldn't be too much of a problem there. I have travelled to India, Thailand and Cambodia before and had never really had any prbs (apart from the sweet little girls with tarantulas as pets in Camb).
Seriously, what is the likelyhood of me ending up in bed with a huntsmans in Nepal. (No jokes).
Have you been there? What were your experiences?

Sites on the net talk about "Thamel Market". Do they mean the whole of Thamel or is there a particular market named Thamel?
Also see references to Z'street. Where is this or what does this name refer to?

Hi all, I'll be spending a week in Sri Lanka from early Friday the 12th. Bit short notice but couldn't be helped!
I enjoy moving around (bike, train, bus, foot etc), photography, cultural sites, good eats. Not really into beaches one bit. Fairly fit, 35 year old male traveling alone, and I prefer public transport - however slow. I would like some tips on itineries as I'd like to pack in as much as possible in a week.
It's just a week's holiday, so I can afford to splash out a little on 'friendly' (not business) places to stay.
Something like Kandy - Adam's Peak - Ella - Colombo ??
Many Thanks
Where could we leave some of our stuff for 5 days in Cochin and leave with a peaceful mind?
Hi
Does anyone know if the train to Ooty is running at the moment?
If not, any suggestions on how to get there.

Thanks in advance.
