Nice suggestion Pabi.

Lets see if some more members would like to contribute their ideas on this.

**darkknight** · 08-26-2010, 02:43 PM

unfortunately that will be the case here too.too many states too many places of interest

I have been meaning to start one for maharashtra too just like "3-4 day getaway from delhi" but than realised it too will turn out to be complicated for someone perusing the pages for the 1st time

**kurtrules** · 08-26-2010, 02:55 PM

^You can start one from Mumbai and then post links of information on the first post of the thread as and when information increases, just like Ken has done on the "3-4 days getaways from Delhi" thread.

This way if a newbie stumbles upon the thread, he can choose the place from a collection list on the first post itself, and browse directly to the place where the detailed information about that place is posted.

thanks for the approval.

Guys can we start a thread with all links in the first post ? Do we need to wait a bit longer for more suggestions?

Instead of Mods doing it..
We, users can suggest places in the states we been & link it to our logs. This will make the task much easier for us & the mod too.

but the whole purpose of keeping it in one post will be washed out

. Person coming into this section should find all these links on the firs post or atleast in the first page. Just like an index

**rachitkohli** · 08-26-2010, 05:11 PM

It will be a huge index collective for India.. something like an oxford dictionary..

**satyenpoojary** · 08-26-2010, 05:17 PM

Cough IndiaMike is my friend to whom I never say OkTaTaByeBye!

We tried doing this else where but vBulletin is just not build for organizing this very well, though there are tools out there that can make it possible!

Separate section for "TRIP PLANNING"

Perfect timing of this post pabi.

A few weeks back I had also made a suggestion to Sunny as follows:

If you open a new head in Sub-Forums preferably just below 'The Tourer' as "Trip Planning" and inturn put 6 sub-divisions in it like North Region, West Region, Central Region, South Region, East Region and General Section. (the general section would be for trips involving multi-regions, all-india trip etc). The aim of this 'Trip Planning' section is for people to put up their queries on whatever pre-trip questions in that specific section so that it is easier for searching in future also. For Example if I put up a thread in South Region to plan a trip covering Karnataka, Kerala & TN, so guys from the respective states can answer my queries related to those separate states. Also, its easier in future to look thru/search in that Region for your trip within those states.

MODS: Can we request to sticky this thread so more members will see and give their inputs & suggestions

**rachitkohli** · 08-26-2010, 05:54 PM

^^ Yes, isolating it will be sensible & less cluttered.
Will look nicely classified. Sub-Topics will definitely help. This will avoid random topics in "Help Me" section related to touring.

**inder.cool** · 08-26-2010, 07:37 PM

Very nice initiative there! Would help a lot of ppl looking for touring options ...

@DK: Why don't you start with that "3-4 days getaway from Maharastra" thingy..

**abhichotu.abhi** · 08-26-2010, 08:37 PM

M.P.:

National Parks: (One that are must a visit) (All national parks are closed from July to November)

1) Kanha 2) Bandhavgarh 3) Panna (a sort of okay!)

Hill Stations: (One's visited by me and are worth a visit once)

1) Panchmarhi (Major)

2) Mandu (Minor, If you visit anytime in Indore)

Others:

1) Khajuraho (a must for a history lover)

2) Ujjain (a Holy place), Omkareshwar (a Holy place), Chitrakoot (a Holy place).

3) Pench National park, Satpura National Park. (All national parks are closed from July to November)

Note: I wrote those that I have personally visited and found them tobe a must visit and are written in sequential order from best rated to an Okay rated.

Thanks.

thats very nice suggestion to divide into sub sections [following divide and rule policy

]. Also it would be good if each sub-section would have links[trip logs] to famous touring places in that region [which was my first intention for this discussion] .

any other suggestion guys?
