- El Salvador famous for its “ lefty lounge bars in San Salvador” and “sobering war memorials and museums” as well as “lush cloud-forest trails” .
- Germany, where apparently history is still being made. Hamburg which is carving out “an entire new quarter from the detritus of a 19th-century harbour” and Dresden where Frauenkirche is once again dominating its skyline, besides bustling and often bizarre Berlin.
- Greece, has something for everyone. Fascinating beaches and its hedonistic party culture.
- Malaysia’s Cheap connections to Europe and great exchange rates mean that you won’t get eaten up by your wallet either.
- Morocco’s mosaic appeal is obvious . Berber and Arab, Muslim and secular, Mediterranean and African. History, culture, peaceful people and great food and artefacts.
- Nepal is recommended, rather vaguely, for Mt Everest and temple bells.
- New Zealand makes it for its spectacular landscapes “from sea-level rainforests to plunging glaciers, geothermal springs and barren volcanic plains” , besides “lens-friendly people, good food and more.
- Portugal’s traditions, of saints-day festivals and ancient vineyards and a oases of new youth culture are equally cited.
- Suriname’s ethnically diverse denizens means a smorgasbord appeal.
- USA hangs in there as a destination for its historical sites, Washington DC’s free museums and monuments…. Now is that enough reason for Indians to brave their awful immigration services? Perhaps not.
