It is the largest Indian state by area and the seventh largest by population.
It is bordered by five other Indian states: Punjab to the north; Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to the northeast; Madhya Pradesh to the southeast; and Gujarat to the southwest.
Dubai
Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, the most populated of the country's seven emirates.
Established in the 18th century as a small fishing village, Dubai grew into a regional trading hub from the early 20th century and grew rapidly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries with a focus on tourism and luxury.
Hoi An
Hoi An is a city on Vietnam’s central coast known for its well-preserved Ancient Town, cut through with canals. A well-preserved example of a south-east Asian trading port of the 15th to 19th centuries.
It is spectacular, especially after the sun sets. Thousands of lanterns, music and small restaurants blend together, creating phenomenal atmosphere in the city.
Vinh Moc Tunnels
Vinh Moc (Vịnh Mốc) is a tunnel complex in Quảng Trị, Vietnam. During the Vietnam War it was strategically located on the border of North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The tunnels were built to shelter people from the intense bombing (…).
Northern Vietnam
I spent 3 weeks in Vietnam in April 2017 traveling from the north (city of Hanoi) to the very south of the country (Ho Chi Minh City), visting many extraordinary places.
In a first episode I will write about the capital city of Hanoi and some other Northern Vietnam destinations as it did strike me in many ways and I absolutely loved pretty much everything about this place…
Sri Lanka
I travelled to Sri Lanka in April (about Easter time) and this is considered slightly after the peak season there, everything is much cheaper and there is a good selection of choices for finding accommodation.
Less tourists as well if you need a quiet holiday. Weather wise – not too much difference than in peak season 😉
