A Ger is a dwelling of the nomads of Mongolia, which has retained its design for centuries. The Ger is designed to be dismantled and rebuilt in just a few hours. The basic structure is of latticed woodwork sections, and it always faces south.

The eco-sensitive hill station in Maharashtra has no pucca roads and vehicles are a strict no-no. The only sound is that of birds in the daytime, and crickets at night. Or, perhaps the pitter-patter of raindrops on the window panes and on the red-tiled roofs of cottages. Matheran is a perfect getaway from the high-on-steroid urban lifestyles.

Ginnorgarh, some 60 kms from Bhopal, was the stronghold of Gonds under Rani Kamlapati, which, after her demise, was occupied by Dost Mohammad, the founder Nawab of Bhopal. The Ginnorgarh fort, now in ruins, is not only picturesque but is also an architectural marvel.

The Mahabodhi Temple is the foremost among the four major pilgrimage sites for Buddhists. The other three are Lumbini, his birthplace; Sarnath, where he delivered his first sermon; and Kushinagar, where he attained Maha Parinirvana.
