Hello,

I am looking to plan a trip for 2 nights between 7th and 9th Nov to any wildlife national park in and around Karnataka. I am ok with a ride time of about 6 to 8 hours max with halts.

Since this will be my first longer solo ride into the wild and due to the dates being around Diwali, I am looking for some good budget recommendations for stay in the wild.

I am ok with homestay as well as long as the place is decent and there is availability of good food with the road to the place being accessible by a bike.

If any of you have made such trips in the past and have recommendations with contact details for me, kindly let me know.

TLDR - Looking for recommendation for a 2 night's budget stay in or around any national park in Karnataka on 7th and 8th Nov.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm planning a solo workation to Rishikesh from Mumbai for around 2 weeks in December. I'll be working remotely on weekdays, so I'll mostly be exploring in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends.

This will be my first time spending an extended period in Rishikesh, and I'd love suggestions from people who have visited or stayed there.

I'm interested in:

🌊 Exploring the Ganga ghats and attending Ganga Aarti

🛕 Visiting temples and ashrams

🏞️ Exploring waterfalls, scenic spots and nearby mountain viewpoints

☕ Finding good cafés and peaceful places to work from

🥾 Planning weekend trips, especially to places like Triyuginarayan Temple, if feasible in December

🏡 Finding budget-friendly hostels, homestays or workation packages for a 2-week stay

I'd really appreciate suggestions for a practical 2-week itinerary, including hidden gems, places worth visiting, local transport options, and things I should know about travelling in winter.

A few questions:

What are the must-visit places in and around Rishikesh?

Which areas are best to stay in for a solo workation?

Can anyone recommend affordable hostels or homestays offering weekly or 2-week packages?

Are there any workation stays with reliable Wi-Fi, power backup and a dedicated workspace?

What's a reasonable budget for accommodation and food for 2 weeks?

Are places like Kunjapuri Temple and Neer Garh Waterfall accessible in December?

Is a weekend trip to Triyuginarayan Temple practical from Rishikesh during winter?

I'm hoping to find a comfortable, affordable place to stay where I can work during the week and explore at a relaxed pace on weekends.

If you've stayed in Rishikesh for an extended period, I'd love to hear about your experience, recommendations, and any tips for negotiating long-stay rates directly with hostels or homestays.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 😊🙏

Hey everyone! I’m 22M from Banaras, planning to visit Mathura and Vrindavan on the 24th, 25th, and 26th. It’s going to be my first solo trip, so I’d love some suggestions on places to visit, food spots, and things I shouldn’t miss. Also, if anyone is planning to visit around the same dates, I’m open to joining a group or exploring together. Hmu! :)

Hey everyone! We're looking for 2 more people to join our Madhyamaheshwar trip starting on 23rd October. A few members had to drop out due to some reasons, so we're looking for replacements.

Route: Delhi ISBT to Madhyamaheshwar

Duration: 3 days, 2 nights

Cost: ₹6,300 per person

If anyone is interested, DM me for more details. Looking forward to meeting fellow trekking enthusiasts!

My wife and I are planning a road trip from Pune to Jaipur in our Mahindra XUV 3XO Petrol Automatic. The dates are tentative, and we’re considering late October, November, or December.

We’d love to connect with another couple travelling towards Jaipur or nearby Rajasthan destinations around the same time and share the journey! 😊

Ideally, it would be great if one of you knows how to drive and is comfortable driving an automatic car, so we can share the driving and make the long journey more enjoyable.

📍 Starting Point: Hinjewadi, Pune
📍 Destination: Jaipur, Rajasthan
🚘 Car: Mahindra XUV 3XO Petrol Automatic
💺 Seats Available: 2
📅 Travel Dates: Tentatively around 14th Nov 2026
⛽ Expenses: Petrol and toll costs to be shared mutually.

❤️ Even if this particular trip doesn’t work out, we’d love to build a small community of people living in Pune who are originally from Jaipur or nearby areas of Rajasthan and frequently travel home by car.

We can connect, coordinate future travel plans, find co-travellers, share driving, and split expenses.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to DM me. Let’s connect and plan something together! 😊

feel like every expensive hotel now has:

spa

7am yoga

green juice

“sleep menu”

one massage involving a local herb

and suddenly we're calling it a wellness retreat lol

where is the actual line?

The Leela Coorg Forest Sanctuary is what got me thinking about this because they've gone way beyond a normal treatment room. proper 27,000 sq ft wellness setup, Ayurveda, Turkish hammam, yoga/meditation, forest stuff etc.

that sounds much closer to somewhere you could go _for_ wellness rather than somewhere you happen to get a massage while on holiday.

but then you look at places like Ananda or Six Senses Vana where the entire stay can be structured around consultations, food, treatments and daily programming.

that's obviously another level of commitment.

so what makes something a real wellness destination for you?

is it personalisation?

food being part of the programme?

multiple treatments over several days?

actual doctors/practitioners?

being somewhere in nature?

or honestly just having enough time and space to do absolutely nothing?

because i'm also not sure i want to spend ₹₹₹ on holiday just to receive a timetable telling me where to breathe at 6:30am.

there has to be a middle ground between “nice spa hotel” and “my vacation has become boarding school”.
