Longer Trips
Diveagar, Konkan Coast
A rural, non-commercialized, beach town, this is Goa without the glam. Most people do not speak English, the accommodations are very basic, no frills. It is a very beautiful, peaceful seacoast town surrounded by jungles and rice fields. To visit, contact Vikram More (p.13).
Darjeeling
Drink first flush tea in the Himalayan Alps.
Nashik
“This is on the Godavari River, one of India's holiest rivers. Nasik serves as a base for pilgrims and is host to the largest religious gatherings on earth. The Ramkund bathing tank was one of the highlights of my visit. Hindu pilgrims arrive daily to bathe, pray, and immerse the ashes of departed family members into the Godavari River.”

Hotel Abhishek
It is within walking distance to all of the temples, ghats, restaurants, etc. This is one of the more modern hotels near the river.
Sikkim
A little-known Indian territory nestled between Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal—it's an Eco-travelers paradise.
Varanasi
Consider visiting one of the holiest cities in the world. A travel agent can assist you. Most RIMYI students stay at the Ganges View Hotel.
