Nagaland - group needed for Nagaland permit.

Heya,

Im a female, 21 year old, solo traveller currently in kolkata staying with some Indian friends from uni in Australia and I was hoping to go to Nagaland for the Hornbill festival on the 1st to the 6th or 7th of december. I want to travel there with an Indian friend from Nagaland and stay with his family whilst there but Ive only just found out that you need a pass to go to nagaland at all.
You need a group of at least 4 people to be able to apply for a permit so I am looking for people that are interested in forming a group OR a group of 3,4 or more people that wouldn't mind me applying for a permit with them. I would be very very thankful for help as without more people i will be unable to go at all.
Please if anyone is interested or knows anyone that I may be able to get in contact with please reply to this thread or email me on: jelly_belly_billy@hotmail.com.

Thanks h... more »

The trip should take around 6 months and take in:

Libya
Tunisia
Egypt
Sudan
Ethiopia
Kenya
Rwanda
Uganda
Tanzania
Malawi

Botswana
Namibia and
South Africa

I’m a 28 year old male from London who’s had enough of city life and wants to fulfil a life long ambition! I’ve been lucky to have travelled quite extensively through Europe, the US, Cana... more »

JORDAN 27 Nov to 5 Dec - Have Car, Will Travel!

Hello all,

Here is my itinerary for Jordan. I will have a car for the entire time -- so if anyone's trip coincides with mine and would like a lift and share costs/save some cash, and possibly sightsee together, please let me know. I have booked most of the hotels etc., so I am beginning to be a bit inflexible on departure/arrival times -- that said, I still have some margin built into the trip. Even if you don't need a lift, if you're in the area at the same time, give a shout -- always happy to meet a friendly face. I'm particularly keen to see if anyone is interested to come on the camel ride/camping in Wadi Rum. Cheers!

FRIDAY 27 NOV
Arrival 9h50a at airport (terminal 2). Pick up car. (the following itinerary for friday is not necessarily going to be in that order)
Dead Sea Hwy
Mt. Nebo
Bethany
Dead Sea Panorama?
Madaba or Amman - overnight stay

SATURDAY 28 NOV
