Superlike !
I just wanted to ask a question regarding travelling with a pet- I have a Lhasa myself and wish to travel to MP in Dec'14 (he will be 6 months old then, all grown up in Lhasa-years)
How easy or difficult is it to take a pet along? Do the hotels allow pets?
Any pointers that you/ your friend may have on this , will be appreciated !
Thanks ! |
Thanks BUXX. As PapaBravo has already answered all the questions there is very little to add. All hotels do not allow pets. You have to identify a location and call up the hotels there to find out if they will accommodate pets. Some of them allow at extra cost. It is advisable to book such hotels before embarking on a travel. Quote:

Thanks Samba. As usual the pictures you have posted are awesome. Quote:

This makes all our trip look like mall - drive. |

Thanks Himadri. There GBs of pics specially of Ladakh, will try to post some more. Quote:

How do you manage to get so many leaves? The other Bolero; was it a DI or one of those new-gen M2dicr's? |
Thanks rahul4321. Apart from the ladakh drive, most of the trips were done on long weekends with max one day leave. The other bolero was a 2008 DI. Quote:

I will try to find out the dates and post. Quote:

I got your point but thought that Banjara Hills is a very good location in Hyderabad. Quote:

We thought that we would stop in Vizag, but after reaching Vizag we did not feel tired and thought that we could make it t o Kolkata as roads are good. Time was a constraint as well. Quote:

Crazy & Cool would be the right phrase to describe your travelogue. Good to see humble Esteem in action.
Great Samba with his usual photography skills.
We should do something to this Banglore RTO, one month time frame is against central motor vehicle act. I hope the new amended act would bring more clarity and I also read that RTOs would be centralized and many of them become redundant.
thanks for sharing. |
Thanks for reading Wanderers. Esteem is an awesome vehicle and it has renewed my faith after this trip. |
