• Saga Dawa Festival Tour, the T Saga Dawa Festival Tour, the Top Tibet Pilgrimage Tour 2013

  • From: tibettravel
  • Description:

    If you are feeling lost in your life, make a spiritual tour to Tibet and find yourself, find your dream, find your life. A Saga Dawa Festival Tour, the top Tibet Pilgrimage Tour in 2013, is highly recommended. 

     

    In my high school, a friend told me that Lhasa was a must-visit place in his life and that it should be his last trip in his life. However, he travelled to Tibet after he was graduated from university for he felt lost in the competition of society. He said it was an amazing tour changing his life. When he saw how the devout Tibetan pilgrims kept faith to their belief no matter how hard it was, he realized that he must keep faith to his dream.

     

    It is best to travel to Tibet during Saga Dawa Festival which is the best time to observe Tibetan pilgrims. The Saga Dawa Festival is the most significant event of the year for Tibetan Buddhists as three of the most essential events in Buddha’s life (birth, enlightenment and passing into Parinirvana) took place on the full moon day of the 4th lunar month in Tibetan calendar.

     

    This month is regarded as the holiest time of the year. It is also known as ‘bum gyur dawa’ in Tibetan, meaning (the month which multiplies by 100000 whatever wholesome or unwholesome action is performed during this month has a 100000 times stronger effect than at other times). Therefore, thousands of Tibetans make a Lhasa tour to do ritual walks and ceremonies during the Saga Dawa Festival.

     

    During the whole month Buddhists have celebrations and pay homage for Buddha Shakyamuni. Most auspicious ceremonies are also held in Holy Mountain Kailash region in Tibet as it’s believed that on Saga Dawa day Buddha Shakyamuni is coming from the heaven to the top of Kailash and people get blessed. People put auspicious huge prayer flag known as Darpo Che performing religious ceremonies.

     

    The Saga Dawa Festival in 2013 will fall on May 25^th. Since there is lots of preparation work for a Tibet tour, it is time for you to get started now, applying for Chinese Visa and then Tibet Permits, booking air/train tickets, hotels, etc. 

     

    As too many travelers and pilgrims travel to Lhasa during the Saga Dawa Festival, the hotels and air/train tickets are in great demand. In addition, taking Tibet train to Lhasa is a popular way to Tibet. It usually takes two days to Lhasa from mainland China, so soft sleeper berth is at greatest demand. Early booking is highly recommended.

     

    As for the permits, if you just want to make a Lhasa tour, a Tibet entry permit is enough, but if you want to make a Kailash tour, Alien’s travel permit and military permit are also needed except the Tibet entry permit. Actually, it is not necessary to worry about the Tibet permits as the policy on Tibet travel permit 2013 makes it is quite easy for foreigners to get Tibet permits.

• Top 5 Must Visit Places for Ho Top 5 Must Visit Places for Holidays in India

  • From: manojihpl
  • Description:

     

    Holidays in India offer several choices in terms of destinations, themes and extraordinarily varying experiences to satisfy the most discerning traveler. The country abounds with breathtaking monuments, spectacular temples, magnificent forts and beach destinations to cater to the different breed of travelers flocking in India. In this article, I have listed five popular tourist destinations in India visited by thousands of tourists every year.

    Taj Mahal
    There are  several quotes given to the Wonder of the World ‘Taj Mahal’, the Mughal era considered to be one of the biggest drawers of overseas tourists in India. Famous Noble prize winner Rabindranath Tagore  referred it to as ‘ a teardrop on the cheek of time’. The romantic aura that permeates in the atmosphere around Taj Mahal on full moon nights is globally renowned. Emblazoned as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Taj Mahal is the star attraction of Agra and featured in almost all honeymoon tour packages of India.

    
    

    Khajuraho Temples
    It would not be an overstatement to call Khajuraho temples ‘a sensuous poetry in stones’ as the outer walls of these temples abounds with erotic carvings. The Khajuraho Temples is a question mark on the medieval thoughts of the current society where sex is considered  as a taboo. Built in the 10^th century under the aegis of the Chandela dynasty, these temples are one of the popular tourist attractions in the state of Madhya Pradesh. This architectural marvel dating 1000 years back is a source for the study of architecture, joy & spiritual adulation for global tourists.

    Varanasi

    The most sacred destination for the Hindu pilgrims, Varanasi is one of the oldest inhabited cities of the world. Varanasi is a must inclusion in your India tour itinerary if you are looking out for a spiritual experience. 100 in number, the ghats of Varanasi stretch for miles along the holy river Ganges. It is believed that a bath in the holy waters of the river Ganga will wash away your sins and release you from the cycle of re-birth. The city abounds with several temples such as Kashi Vishwanath temple, Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, Kalbhairav temple and Bharat Mata temple. Besides temples, the prestigious Benares Hindu University, Ramnagar fort and Varanasi silk weaving center are some of the highlights of the tour.

     

     

    Goa
    There was a time when cocktail parties, dancing on the beach and meeting new people used to define an ultimate dream vacation. Today, the serenity & seclusion of pristine beaches, rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages and heritage excursions have a greater appeal with both local & international tourists. The behavioral change of tourists has been well adapted  by the tourism department of Goa and has led to the transformation of this tiny Indian state into a family vacation destination from a hippy ideal. There are different types of hotels & resorts available in Goa catering to all kinds of travelers.

    Kerala

    Also known as ‘God’s Own Country’, Kerala is immensely bestowed with treasures of nature. National Geographic Magazine has listed Kerala as one of the top 50 destinations of the world to visit before you die. The coastline of Kerala spans over 580 kilometers and is lined with several beautiful beaches. Kovalam is the most famous beach in Kerala and home to several award winning Ayurvedic resorts. However, the backwaters of Alleppey are considered the backbone of tourism in this state. A candle-lit dinner on board a Kerala houseboat under the immense canopy of the star studded sky is an experience par excellence.
