| Another Little Tibet | 30-AUG-09 |
|
| What Dharamsala is to north India, Bylakuppe is to the south of the country. A heady mass of green, the four-decade-old Tibetan settlement of Bylakuppe is a little place, fortunately quite removed from the touristy frills of commercial enterprises, motels and eateries. Instead, what you get to savour are fresh, lush greens and a number of pretty monasteries. |

| Indian Hotels: Don't check in yet | 16-JUN-09 |
|
| The Indian economy seems to be on the mend but with the global economy still in a downturn, it’s unlikely hotels in the country are going to be full in the hurry. Occupancies at Indian Hotels of around 66 per cent in the year to March 2009 were understandably lower than they had been in the previous year, partly because of the terrorist attacks at the Taj hotel in Mumbai and also because of the weak economic environment. |
