HolidayIQ Traveller Sanchit Bansal from Muzaffarnagar says, "I had never been to a hill station. My uncle lives at Summer Hills in Shimla. I decided to visit Shimla during my last vacations in the month of May 2014. The journey from Kalka to Shimla was a treat to the eyes. The hills, pine trees, waterfalls and greenery bewitched the senses and the eyes. I stayed there for twenty days and visited all the picnic spots and places of tourist attraction around Shimla. Kufri, Fagu, Chail and Narkanda are the places of natural beauty. It was a big relief from the scorching heat of the plains and evenings were very pleasant. You feel you are not in India but transported into Scotland. The memory of the visit still refreshes my mind and want to visit it again."
Places to visit: Kufri - Chail- Solan - Kasauli - Narkanda - Parwanoo - Chandigarh - Mohali - Mandi - Paonta Sahib.

HolidayIQ Traveller Priyam Goyal from Chennai says, "I have stayed in Panjim a few times and love the city. There are many activities there. Driving along the Mandovi river on a monsoon morning is an out of the world experience. Some of the best casinos of Goa are in Panjim. There are some great places to eat. Pan Asia offers some best Chinese and Thai food in Goa. Panjim is home to the very picturesque Marriott Hotel. The hotel is very famous for its sea side pool. Dona Paula is located very close to Panjim." HolidayIQ Traveller Bijoy Varghese from Bangalore adds, "Panjim is a good base in Goa if you are looking at visiting both North and South Goa. Also if you are a shopping freak, this is probably better than most places in Goa. However if you want to enjoy the typical Goan beaches and enjoy the Goan food you might want to travel out."
Places to visit: Basilica of Bom Jesus - Old Goa - Shantadurga Temple - Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception - Scuba Diving and Snorkelling - Casino Carnival - Miramar beach and all the popular beaches of Goa like Palolem, Calangute, Candolim, Ajuna and Arambol.

HolidayIQ Traveller Sj Singh from Delhi says, "A trip to Port Blair & its beaches & islands is a fun, full of adventure. I visited in last May'14. We enjoyed the local market, The Gurdwara, The jail. Of course this heritage site & its show, reminded us the sacrifices and sufferings the freedom fighters faced during their term here. The adventure was in sea sports like Scooty ride, Sofa ride, Motor boat riding in the sea. The thumps of waves during these rides forces you to forget the fast life of Delhi. The snorkelling at Jolly buoy island & Scuba diving at Ross Island made us discover the underwater world. Though seemingly scary to dive underwater for 20-25 feet in scuba diving but frankly It is worth to do & safe also. You need not know swimming for this. The cruise ride to Havelock & enjoy the best beech Radhanagar is worth staring & bathing in sea. Time always run short in admiring the beauty of this beach.The best part is the locals speak & understand Hindi nicely. Of course Don't forget to admire the islands from the plane. They look awfully beautiful."
Places to visit: Port Blair - Havelock Island - Neil Island- Ross Island - Chatham Island - Viper Island - Barren Island - Chorao Island - Cinque Island.

HolidayIQ Traveller Tushar Borude from Pune says, "How one could forget the name Kerala & its holiday in his entire life, I don't think one would. I been there in the first week of March and found am I spending my holiday in this country. The destination is full of excitements, beauty with colours and of course a place for rest with spa. I was not the only person who was present, what I observed is all the age group people were enjoying one of their beautiful holiday's in Kerala during my stay. Places to be visited would start from Munnar, the perfect destination to see tea plantation, many gardens, the lake beauty and many more with the joy of peace and rest. Then comes next point as Thekkady. No words to describe this beautiful place but still I would recommend once to take a ride to Jungle Safari & one memorable small tour of elephant ride. One can see the martial art programme an evening show. Enjoy the boat ride in Periyar wildlife sanctuary. From Thekkady, move your foot to Alleppey, the home in the sea. The perfect house boat package would give the joy which you would have never thought of it. During all my stay I preferred to have veggie food which includes mostly the special Puttu rice of Kerala and then comes coconut rice. In Thekkady, you will have the food with yummy spices and taste. And of course in-house, you order what you want, you will have it at your desk. Try to taste market food instead of opting the hotel food as they have limited variety, rather market would give you the taste you have never thought of. Spare some additional money for shopping like spices, the great masala & green teas, ayurvedic medicines, beauty products, etc
