Without doubt Goa is one of the coolest tourist destinations in the world. Tourist and travel enthusiasts flock to the place from all over the world throughout the year.

Although most of the tourists visit Goa for its exotic beaches and a cosmopolitan fun and frolic experience, there are plenty of other things you can do and places you can visit while you are in Goa.

Deciding where to eat out

So you almost cancelled your eat out date with your friends merely because the group of 5 couldn’t arrive at a consensus regarding what to eat and what restaurant or hotel to choose? Seriously, this is an existential dilemma faced by many discerning minds whenever a few individuals decide to go out together to indulge in a gastronomical bonhomie. Within a few minutes this bonhomie turns into an animosity (not a serious one, though).

But why is it such a sensitive issue? Unlike the olden days, going together with a bunch of friends is not as easy as it used to be even 15 years ago. It’s not only traffic congestion and a seemingly unlimited plethora of choices, even among friends, it is extremely difficult to get everybody together and ready on the same day and at the same time. So like a United Nations meeting, even an eating out affair needs to be well coordinated and thought of.

Fish spas are catching up fast in various countries especially in Asia in general and Japan, China, Korea and other oriental countries in particular. The treatment is also available in India these days.

It is a natural treatment in which you dip your entire body into a pool of water containing “doctor fish” that immediately begins to nibble at your epidermis. Initially the treatment was recommended to treat psoriasis and other eczema-type diseases but these days it is also used, in fact mostly used, for skin exfoliation and pedicure.

Scores of fish nibbling at your outer skin is not as strange as it sounds. This treatment has been in practice for centuries in various forms and it is only now that fish spa services are being offered by salons and beauty parlours. It is totally harmless activity because the fish eat your dead skin (or affected skin in case of skin infection) while leaving your healthy skin alone. So by the time you are through with the therapy/treatment your skin begins to look shiny and smooth.

Established as a well known brand among luxury hotels Devi Resorts has been in operation for ten years, starting in the year 2000, with Devi Garh fort palace in Udaipur. Since then, Devi Garh has consistently earned awards and accolades from the best in the industry for its design and service.

Devi Resorts has now launched Devi Ratn in Jaipur. Devi Ratn presents an interpretation of the culture and traditions of Rajasthan in a contemporary manner, while emphasising the quality of service.

Conceived as a place where past and future meet, Devi Garh was designed in keeping with the philosophy of Devi Resorts, where tradition and modernity go hand in hand. Nestled in the Aravali hills 28 kilometers away from the bustle of Udaipur, Devi Garh is an all suite luxury resort that assumes the look of new India with an emphasis on design and detail. The interiors of the 18th century fort palace of Delwara were transformed in a minimalist contemporary manner while conserving the ancient exterior, creating the unique mix that is Devi Garh.

With a vocabulary of design that looks inwards at Rajasthan for inspiration, Devi Ratn is located in Jaipur . Devi Ratn takes its name from the “Nav Ratn”; nine pure gemstones that are said to focus the cosmic energy of an associated celestial body, ruled by a deity. The lustrous gem-craft of Jaipur, is reflected in the materials used.

The intricate quality of detail and the sculptural architecture are the outstanding features of Devi Ratn. It is a new landmark for Devi Resorts with this all suite luxury hotel. Devi Ratn is located 10 kms from the heart of the city, thereby being conveniently close yet away from the noise of the city.

Although an early version of elephant polo was played by the ladies of the Indian Raj at the turn of the 1900s, the game in its modern incarnation started — as these things often do — in a bar. It was in St Moritz in 1982, and Jim Edwards — a Jersey banker who’d run away to Nepal in the 1960s to become a hunting, shooting Jungle Jim — met James Manclark, erstwhile bobsleigh champ and polo king. “By then I was into ecotourism,” Edwards recalls, “still shooting, but with a camera, not a gun.”


Twenty-two years on, elephant polo has become a mainstay of the Nepalese social scene. Each December, as the early-morning mist rises over the forest and the polo-field, a mix of wealthy Nepalese people and expatriate toffs — ambassadors, dukes and British Gurkha officers — straddle their mighty steeds and skedaddle after a small white ball.

Business travellers to India will soon have more choice thanks to the launch of new air services between London Heathrow and Mumbai in the next two weeks.

The Jet Airways’ service will be the first international route for the airline, which has taken nearly half of the domestic market share in India since its launch in 1993. it now flies between 44 destinations within India. The service will be operated using A340-300s, configured with 38 flat bed seats and 231 economy seats.

Dan Brewin, Jet Airways’ general manager for the UK & Ireland, said: "This is an extremely exciting time for the airline. Launching our first international service from India to the UK at the end of May marks a huge step in our global expansion plans. The UK market in particular is a key one for us, and we intend to increase capacity to Heathrow later this year."

More than half of US business travellers (55 per cent) combined at least one working trip with leisure time last year, according to a survey by Deloitte Touche, the accountancy firm.
And 70 per cent of those took a family member or friend with them.

Suggesting that hotels with a high proportion of business guests benefit from being close to attractions such as shopping and offering facilities such as pools, nearly all said they extended their trips by staying an extra night or more in the same hotel.
