Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

Since my last post was a photographic tribute to India, I’d like to take this time to encourage every photographer in need of some inspiration to book a trip to this amazing country of contrasts and colors. What follows is a helpful lodging suggestion for anyone planning to make that trip.

Traveling to developing nations like India poses challenges the average jet setter to Europe might not be ready for. Until recently there was no well organized and inclusive hotel web site for visitors to study before making their trip.

That’s why, despite some minor faults, inasra.com is a goldmine of information for the tourist planning an Indian vacation. The site listed dozens of Indian cities often found on the tourist circuit. Simply click on the city of your choice and scroll through listed properties, which range from decadent palaces priced at hundreds of dollars a night, to simple abodes that cost less than a trip to McDonalds.

You can book Indian hotels online at this site, a positive convenience factor.

The site has some work to do: hotel descriptions can be sparse, and the web design is lacking imagination. It might also be more appealing if small thumbnail pictures were present before clicking through on each property.

But it’s really the first comprehensive hotel website of its type that I’ve seen for India.

As someone who has traveled throughout India, sometimes it’s best to skip the Lonely Planet lodging recommendations, which will be packed and often over booked. This website gives the traveler another tool at their disposal, and one that I believe is sure to come in handy. This is a sponsored post.
