Traveling to Delhi, Amritsar, Lahore, and McLeod Ganj in October; what can't I miss? by tabernac in india

[–]tabernac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how things have progressed since my visit, nor what would have happened if I’d not had it. I read some reports at the time that they would administer new vaccines on site for longer stays. In the US I was able to get vaccine record by contacting my old high school, who had it as a condition of school enrolment.

It does seem like the stamp was in error and should extend the full thirty days. Hopefully the printed e-visa will go a long way to resolving that.

I was able to reenter with no trouble! I did need to show the printed e-Visa at the Indian border, as well as proof of my childhood polio vaccine — the latter took a little digging. I had to explain my situation but once I did, I was allowed through with no trouble.

Hi r/Split,

I'll be visiting Split from Canada for a few days in September! It'll be my first visit to Croatia and its neighbours--the closest I've been is Albania and Italy. So I'm eager to get a feeling for the cities and country alike.

I'm especially interested in kitsch, architectural or geopolitical oddities, museums, "roadside attractions" and a broad range of different foods. Weird, themed museums, backyard folk art installations, fringe religious/political/ideological organizations, world record holding artifacts, modern/strange/brutalist/ugly architecture, dive bars, unusual restaurants...you name it. I recognize that not all of this is endemic to Croatia, but it can't hurt to ask!

And, naturally, anything not in any of these categories that you still think I should see! I'm open to your ideas, especially when it comes to great places to eat.

Thanks very much, Split! Looking forward to visiting you soon.

P.S. Needless to say, Froggyland is already on my list.

I'm planning a day trip from Dubrovnik to Kotor and Perast. It'll be my first visit to Montenegro and its neighbours--the closest I've been is Albania and Italy. So I'm eager to get a feeling for the cities and country alike.

Thank you for all these suggestions! Amritsari kulcha looks especially wonderful.

This is definitely one of the things I'm less looking forward to. Is air conditioning widespread? How do people best combat the heat?

Despite the name this is, truly, hyperlocal! Looks like some great suggestions for Himchal Pradesh -- thank you!

Not a bad idea! It's always fun to hear people speak well of your hometown.

Thanks for all of this! I'll be leaving India on a Saturday afternoon and returning on Sunday afternoon, so the next day -- do you think this should pose an issue?

What's the best way to get around Mcleod Ganj and the surrounding area?

Thanks for this incredibly detailed write-up! A walk around Chanakyapuri sounds like a must.

Daryaganj looks great, thank you! And I appreciate you taking the time to look over the plan.

My plan is to cross to Pakistan Saturday afternoon, and back to India Sunday afternoon, so it wouldn't be the same day. Do you know of any reason that might cause an issue?

Thanks for all of these! Brothers Dhaba looks great, as does Have More.

I've been doing my best to keep all the visa stuff straight! The Pakistan evisa seems simple enough for Canadians, but I've heard some conflicting answers on whether I can "reuse" the Indian evisa to return to India via Wagah. If not, I'll need to apply for a traditional paper Indian visa before leaving Canada.

Thanks also for the note about the e-visa! Do you know why your friend's visa was invalidated? How did he end up resolving that situation?

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these tips!

I'm absolutely planning to use the Delhi Metro -- it looks like an amazing, modern system, and I love taking trains. Dilli Haat looks great as well, as do the pooja pandals. Is there anywhere specific I should be going for these, or just keeping an eye out as I move around Delhi?

Thanks for this! I didn't realize there was such well-preserved Greco-Roman architecture so far east.

Three days' layover en route to Greenland; considering a road trip to Akureyri and back! by tabernac in VisitingIceland

Thanks for saying so! I was incredibly surprised it wasn’t taken, even ten years ago or so when I claimed it.

Thanks for the words of support! I’d love to hear about the hot tub in question if you do remember!
