When temperatures rise into the thermometer’s red zone, it’s time to cool off. Dubai has excellent sources of air conditioning, but nothing beats taking a swim or playing water sports on a hot day.

Getting to the beach is easy in Dubai; there are many hotels that let non-guests use their beaches along Jumeirah Road, as well as the Jumeirah Beach Park and the Jumeirah Open Beach. Please note that men and women may have segregated swimming times.

You’ve got your backpack, your Eurail pass and you’re ready to set off on a great adventure. You plan to explore as much of Europe as you can over the next few weeks (or months) and stay in hostels along the way.

The thing is, you’re used to hotels and checking in to your private room with a private bath, where you can come and go as you please, leaving your belongings locked in the room until you return. While staying in a hostel has some similarities, if you’ve never stayed in one before, you might be in for a shock.

Known as the jewel of Gujarat’s ecological resources GIR National Park was our destination for a family vacation. Thirteen of us decided to pack our bags and head towards GIR, one of the big sanctuaries with the major big-cat concentrations in India. We were traveling from Chennai and so chose to break our flight journey at Mumbai and catch up with our friends and relatives before resuming our journey the next day by train. The train journey from Mumbai to Rajkot was around 14 hours. We found the jeep sent by Club Mahindra Resort waiting for us at the station and thus our journey into the world of jungle begun :)
