If you go to KP's Motor Stand & in Himalaya Travels ask for Gobinda Dradhan, he will take you on a (set fare) tour of the local sights - magnificent viewpoints and Dr Graham's home.

Best of all, Gobinda takes his time, does not hussle you into visiting shops and is very knowledgeable about the area.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18484 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18412 vntraveler.com provides updated travel warnings and safety for tourists to Vietnam plus destination guide, travel tips and answers on travel topics in Vietnam.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18412 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18408 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18408 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18402 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18402 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18377 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18377 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18372
The Fantasia Houseboat is very well heated always, and Nageem lake is much more quiet and restful than Dal lake. Excursions take you to the centre and to the other lake and the city is worth visiting. Very near (60 Kms or so) you have Gulmarg and Panhalgar covered with snow, streams of water on the valleys, ponies drinking from them. One may also enjoy a trip on the lakes in a Shikara (row boat) comfortably installed (with some blankets when I was there).

The homemade food is very acceptable because one does not go there counting on a Michelin star restaurant. And if you are lucky enough to have Rahim himself as guide it is a complete experience: helpful and gentle, discreet, not imposing his knowledge, allowing nice, interesting conversations, with good manners and humour. And he's a very good driver, very careful also, which is a tremendous advantage in India.

Rahim will also collect you from the airport.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18372 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18204 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18204 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18192
We had a two-hour drive up to Plaza de la Revolution and back, stopping where we wished for photos and finding out lots of local knowledge.The funniest part was the driver chatting up girls walking along the street while we trotted along beside them.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18192 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18183
Also, eat at the food stalls and buy a Makansutra if you can find it, or read the Calvin Trillin article in the New Yorker to determine which food stalls to visit.

If you're flying in and out of Changi, and just staying overnight, stay at the Changi Village Hotel. Check out the shops on 33 Erskine Road. Treat yourself to a foot massage in Chinatown.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18183 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17917 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17917 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17788
