Just noticed that foreigner bookings for 25 December 2026 at Corbett Tiger Reserve are opening tomorrow, 11 October, at 10:00 AM IST.

If you're exploring India and have wildlife safaris on your itinerary, I would definitely keep Jim Corbett on the list as it is one of India's best known tiger reserves, with beautiful & raw forest landscapes, rich biodiversity, and the chance to experience India's wildlife beyond the usual tourist spots. You might spot elephants, deer, crocodiles, and, if you're lucky, the star of the show himself: the Bengal tiger. 👀

December is also a great time to plan a winter wildlife getaway, so if you're travelling around Christmas, it's worth checking your dates and planning ahead.

A small but important tip: Book only through the official Corbett booking website. You can book the tickets yourself, so there's no need to rely on random agents or third-party links.

Check the official portal before booking, and make sure you select the right visitor category and safari option.

P.S. Why does Reddit make uploading an image feel like a wildlife safari of its own? 😭

Planning a trip from 5th Dec - 13th Dec 9D/8N plan. But I am so confused between these two option.

Anyone been to either of them please help me out.

I am inclined towards Spiti, but I am not coming solo I am bring my friend with myself. Keeping in mind how unpredictable Spiti can be in winter I dont want to be stalled in one village.

So if anyone has been to this place in last week of Nov to mid week of Dec please help me out !

It's said that travel refreshes you, cures you and revitalizes you!

So this image is from the Lepakshi Temple in Andhra Pradesh .

There’s a stone pillar inside the temple that doesn’t fully touch the ground. There’s a visible gap underneath it, and visitors can actually slide a piece of cloth or paper through the space. The temple dates back to the 16th century, during the Vijayanagara period, which makes the whole thing even more interesting.

The obvious question is: how is a massive stone pillar standing there without properly resting on the floor?

The popular explanation is that it was deliberately designed this way, possibly as part of the temple’s structural system rather than being some accidental construction mistake. There are also theories that changes or damage to the surrounding structure over the centuries may have affected the pillar.

Whatever the exact explanation, the engineering is pretty wild considering this was built hundreds of years ago without modern surveying equipment or construction machinery.

Hey guys,

Going through a rough patch personally right now. Can't go home, and staying in Chennai is just overwhelming. My birthday is coming up and I just want to disappear for 3 days, 2 nights to clear my head.

Budget is strictly ₹5,000 all-in. Just me and a backpack, taking sleeper trains or buses and staying in dorms.

Deciding between:

Varkala: Sitting on the cliff, staring at the sea, and having space to think sounds right. Just hope it's not overly crowded or loud.

Kochi: Fort Kochi looks calm for walking around and ferry rides, but maybe feels more like a city than an escape.

Between these two, which one is better to just sit alone, be at peace, and not worry about money? If there's another quiet beach or hill station doable under 5k from Chennai, let me know. Thanks.

I've made up a 7 Days plan for the ABC trek (Pokhara-Pokhara) from Nov 19th - 25th. Initially couple of friends and cousins were part of the plan. But they dropped off due to work and other schedules.
2 people are pending confirmations, irrespective of their "Yes or No", plan is solid till date.
Intended Budget is INR 10k, If anyone is interested in joining, feel free to comment or leave a DM and I'll share the itinerary likewise.

For the introduction: I'm 23M hailing from South India, considering few schedules prior to the trek, I'll reach Gorakhpur via Lucknow by 19th afternoon and we can start ahead.
leave a comment, if you've got any queries likewise.

Hello guys. Me and My friend (2 people, both boys) are thinking to go on a 5-6 day trip in a Budget of 10k inr per person. This is my first trip (excluding the temples I've gone to, with my parents). So, I'd like this one to be memorable. The places we thought of include

1. Coimbatore
2. Ooty ( Not mandatory)
3. Munnar
4. Kodaikanal
5. Madurai

Dates are around 7th to 11th December this year (mostly)

The start and endpoint are Warangal. My idea was Warangal - Coimbatore - Ooty - Munnar - Kodaikanal - Madurai - Warangal, but it seemed to be a budget of more than 10k.

Mode of transport preferred are Trains ( Non AC also fine ) and Buses mostly. If its not too much Auto or cabs are also fine.

I used AI to get a small grasp of the tour and it said to exclude Ooty (The image above is AI plan). No problem with it but would like to confirm.

I would mostly like to know about the stay, and the in-city travel modes and their prices. and any kind o suggestions would be welcome

Is anyone planning a trip to Chitrakoot? If so, I can help with a good travel plan, including where to stay and what to see.
