Goa which has since recently become a very renowned destination among tourists for its beautiful natural locations still has many places that remain hidden within its territory. One such place is the Dudhsagar Falls which is situated in the Mandovi River in Goa. The name Dudhsagar means ‘sea of milk’ and indeed is a magnificent sight which is sure to mesmerize all its visitors. This waterfall is definitely one of the world’s most striking waterfalls with its milky white waters rippling down from high mountains giving glamorous scenery for the landscape of Goa.
This waterfall is not in its best shape during the dry season; however when the monsoon season arrives the sea of milk turns into a very strong gush of water which flows through the state of Goa. It is known as the 5th tallest waterfall out of the falls in India and is also the 227th tallest in the world boasting a height of 310 meters. This breathtaking venue is a must visit during the monsoon which comes to life in a wonderful manner and making it one of the most dazzling natural phenomena in India. The Dudhsagar is a four tiered waterfall which has a width of 100 feet and does a major role to the eco system of Goa. Trekking is one of the most loved excursions among Dudhsagar sightseers. All the essential facilities like shelter, water and even medical facilities are provided.
There are four routes that one could trek and hike around. The most famous route during the monsoon is the castle rock route where you will reach the castle rock station along a pretty 14 km route and then to the waterfall. The second is the Kulem route which is equally beautiful as the first but less popular. Kuveshi route is the most adventurous and is not accessible during monsoon seasons. The travelers of Dudhsagar can have a rest in a Goa resort or a beach resort in Goa which is not much far from the waterfall. You will certainly have a memorable adventure trekking and hiking along the rippling sea of milk. A good choice for your stay would be the Alila Diwa Goa which is widely known to be a luxury accommodation option available in Goa.

Visiting Hong Kong for a short stay or spending a few hours in the city before catching your next flight? Instead of choosing to spend that time in the airport, step out and experience Hong Kong at its best. Once you land in Hong Kong, make your way to the Airport Express Train through which one can access the Hong Kong Central Station in just below half an hour. Alternatively, one can choose to travel via the double-decker Airbus which is operational even at night. Once in the city, one can choose between taking the ferry and opting for the underground train service, buses or trams.
For those who wish to immerse themselves in the hybrid culture prevalent in the city, a visit to the temples hidden away in street corners and tucked away in the hills would surely provide you with much needed moments of peace and tranquillity. Alternatively, one could opt to get away from the hustle and bustle of a city that never sleeps by climbing Victoria’s Peak for the view at the summit of the mountain, of Kowloon, Hong Kong and the Victoria Harbour will surely be worth the climb.
Until recent times, the scorching day time temperatures of Abu Dhabi made any formation of large bodies of frozen water an extreme improbability. But for this city that extracts black gold from its sands to become one of the wealthiest cities in the world, the improbable is not impossible! The Ice Rink of the Zayed Sports City is an example of how such deeds can happen in this oasis at the edge of the Empty Quarter.
The ice rink is one of two in the country, and is the largest of them, with a capability of seating 1,200 people. Recreational skating times are open to the public while time slots are allocated for ice hockey and figure skating teams. The rink is becoming an increasingly popular attraction with not just tourists but locals as well, many of whom have never even laid eyes on snow. The special ‘Learn to Skate’ programme offers coached lessons – individual and group – for beginners of all ages. Although you may fall down a couple of time in the precarious edges of skates, a few lessons with professionals are sure to have you gliding on ice, like it was second nature.

Duolun Street in Shanghai was originally constructed in the early 20th century and went by the name of a long forgotten British missionary. It came into its own in the 1920s and 30s when the writer Lu Xun and other progressive writers of the time like Mao Dun, Guo Moruo and Ding Ling moved into the area gathering other similar literary types around them making the street a cultural and literary centre. Doulun Street was opened to the public as Culture Street in 1998 and is the place that people come to, to find links with China’s pre revolutionary cultural scene. Located north of the Bund the once lavish homes and shops in this 8 km stretch have been refurbished and cars have been banned so that it is now a lovely pedestrian area of bookshops, tea houses, antique shops, galleries and historic homes. The Duolun Museum of Modern Art is there as is a 1920s Christian church with upturned eaves, the old film café that shows Chinese movies of the 1920s and 30s, the League of Leftist Writers Museum with the hall where the league was founded restored to its original condition and a mid 1920s mansion of a fabulously wealthy Shanghai entrepreneur are all in the neighbourhood.
