    Westhill Consulting Travel & Tours based in Singapore specializes in in giving advice and tips for tourists from Australia, Canada, US and all countries all over the world. Check the local rags and mags: As I mentioned before, most SE Asian countries have English-written guides. That's because in a number of countries there, there is already an established community of expatriates. If you are looking to just find your bearings and want a safe bet on places to go, pick one up. Be prepared to be approached by strangers: Locals in Southeast Asia are often very nice toward westerners and truthfully enjoy telling you how nice you look. Whether it is coming from a man or woman, get ready for a swarm of compliments on your appearance. It may seem a little strange at first, but you will get used to it. I promise. This scotch does not taste like scotch: Drinks are a quarter of the price than what you'd find in Europe or in the U.S., the reason being that many of the typical name brands are regionally produced and use local ingredients, so don't be shocked when your beloved Grey Goose on ice tastes a little different from what you are used to. Use the opportunity to try some very interesting locally produced spirits. Take the tour deals seriously: Pretty much anywhere you go (of the major tourist destinations) there are sure to be tour pamphlets sitting around with great deals. From boat rides to day trips, there are great tours around that will get you where you need to go. Hire local transport for the day: One great way to get around is to hire a tuk tuk or a moto-driver for the whole day to take you everywhere you want to go for a very nominal price. Your driver can also work as a de facto tour guide, getting you around to the spots you may not have thought of and that you would regret not seeing. http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/10-things-to-know-about-travel-in-southeast-asia/

    Indonesians will make you feel like a star First of all, Indonesians are super hospitable people and they are very friendly towards foreigners. But there aren't as many foreign tourists in Jakarta as you might think. You will get a lot of attention and the locals will genuinely be very keen to get to know you. That's in fact amazing to me. In Thailand a lot of the locals seem to get easily bemused and simultaneously annoyed by the mass tourists, and this won't be the case in Indonesia. The most surprising thing was the local CouchSurfing scene though. I'd received about a hundred various emails offering help, recommendations and hosting offers. I was blown away by the kindness of those people so I decided to meet as many as I could. We organized a big CouchSurfing meeting and many local Indonesian travelers attended. Their enthusiasm was unbelievable and I made a lot of friends that day. Even a crew from Metro TV came and filmed a little documentary for the national channel about CouchSurfing Source: http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/go-and-travel-to-jakarta/

westhill consulting travel and tours tips review in jakarta indonesia Introducing Lombok

    Indonesia is known as one of the world's most tourist destination. Its archipelagic geography gave it an advantage for different spots and abundant supply of natural beauty. Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours has the pleasure of introducing Lombok, Indonesia, one of the prides of the country. Tourism is an important source of income on Lombok. The most developed tourism area of the island is on the west coast of the island and is centered about the township of Senggigi. Lombok is only a few kilometers from the country's capital, Jakarta, Indonesia which made it more accessible to tourist to visit the place. We have reviewed some of the most sought-after adventures in Lombok as follows: 1. The Lombok Chili Pepper Since the word lombok means chili in Bahasa Indonesia, you'd expect the locals to know a thing or two about spicy food. The green and red Lombok chilies are often made into sambal - a fiery condiment - with locally grown naga jolokia peppers, garlic and shrimp paste. Sample it as an accompaniment to local dishes like ayam taliwang (grilled wild chicken) and sayur nangka (jackfruit curry). 2. Hit the Beach Lombok's beaches are second to none and a blessed relief after Bali's busy strips. Head for the island's southwest to really escape the crowds. Surfers love the big waves at Bangko-Bangko (also known as Desert Point); if its long-walled and hollow left-hand breaks sound too taxing, then try the tiny island of Gili Nanggu, 15 minutes by boat from the town of Tawun. 3. Two Wheels Good Public transport on Lombok is unreliable. Many visitors opt to hire a car and driver, which can be obtained at very reasonable rates, but if you're feeling adventurous try renting a motorcycle - available from shops all over the island. At just over 80 km at its widest point, Lombok is easily traversable and its roads are in great condition for Indonesia - the beneficiaries of recent infrastructural investment. The excellent 21-km coastal st

    BOOK A BUDGET GORILLA TREKKING SAFARI IN UGANDA With Uganda Budget Safaris, you may embark on an inner trip to see mountain gorillas in the wild and take part in wildlife safaris that include the Big Five creatures in several Uganda national parks. Uganda safaris to national parks, such as Kidepo Valley National Park, the only place in Uganda to see the cheetah, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, known for gorilla trekking, the historic Rwenzori Mountains, a World Heritage Site, etc. Welcome to Dav Safaris, a leading provider of safari vacations in East Africa.

Due to our extensive experience, we have selected a good selection of camping and safari lodge locations where you may have an overnight stay during your Uganda Safari Tours.When booking an Affordable Uganda Safari, there are not many variables to take into account. Below, we've covered some of the things to think about when scheduling a Uganda Budget Safari. What To Consider When Booking A Budget Uganda Safari Tour Operator Going with a high profile companies or using a travel agent is a mistake you should never make. High-profile travel companies will always charge you an absurd price for a tour since they have built a brand. On the other side, a travel agent will likewise want to earn from your safari. Online operator searches are your best option. Alternatively, you can make a reservation with one of these suggested trekking companies. Choose a company that is established in Rwanda or Uganda if you plan to make a reservation. Any business outside of Rwanda and Uganda, including those in Kenya and Tanzania, should not be used to arrange your gorilla safari. The best price will be provided by the local tour operators because they typically have low overhead costs. Destination If you want t

    What is a fair rate for 5-days gorilla and chimpanzee safari in Uganda? One of the most interesting and unforgettable safaris you will ever do is a 5-day trip to Uganda to see gorillas and chimpanzees. The Uganda primate safari is another name for it. You will visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Kibale Forest National Park during this safari with Dav Safaris. The fair price is inclusive of permits for gorillas and chimpanzees, transportation, lodging, and service fees, and it is transparent. The prices to estimate the cost of a 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee safari in Uganda are broken down below. How much will the 5 day gorilla and chimpanzee trekking safari in Uganda cost? Gorilla Trekking in Bwind impenetrable Forest National Park One of the highlights of a 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee safari in Uganda is gorilla trekking. Gorilla tracking involves going through the bush to locate and observe a specific habituated mountain gorilla family. Prior to gorilla trekking, gorilla trackers, advanced teams, and rangers employ a variety of indicators and tactics to locate these gorillas. The trackers get up very early every morning and explore the jungle for these mountain gorillas. In order to be found, they make raucous noises like clapping. Once they've located them, the trackers will inform the park headquarters, and the guides will then instruct the tourists on what to do and what not to do before directing them as they walk and trek through the forest. This increases your chances of sighting gorillas in the Nkuringo, Buhoma, Rushaga, or Ruhija gorilla zones by 99 percent. Depending on the availability of permits, you can choose to embark on a gorilla trek either at the beginning or conclusion of your safari. During your excursion on a 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee safari, gorilla permits are mandatory. The price of the gorilla permits varies depending on whether gorilla trekking or gorilla habituation is selected as the activity. The cost of a gorilla trekk

    The Astrological Travel Guide According to Huffingtonpost.com There are countless tips out there on where and how to travel, but not one like this. https://foursquare.com/westhilltravel http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/108506-westhill-consulting-travel-tours-inc It may not be certain, but why not take a leap of faith for once and try this travel guide according to you astrological sign by the Huffingtonpost.com. A little research based on each astrological sign's personality has led the Huffpost to these guidelines. Whatever your sign may be, one thing still stands true when travelling - you hold the key to your own travel destiny. Note: This travel guide is just a suggestion and may be followed at your own risk and liking. Aquarius: You Aquarius folk are an eclectic bunch. Your interests vary and you are the thinkers. You know what you like and you very much so know what you don't, so your next getaway should be planned with that in mind. Because you are one of the signs who can get lost in your thoughts, why not utilize that head space for some clarity? Book a trip to Iceland during the prime Northern Lights-seeing time and ponder life's big questions under the glorious Aurora Borealis. Even if you come up with no answers, at least you can come home with some amazing photos. Pisces: Pisces are, plain and simple, the givers. They are far happier when they are sharing their experiences or knowledge with others, especially those in need. A trip focused on service could be the perfect marriage of relaxation and giving back. Pisces people, why not look into an alternative spring break type trip to Ghana? You'll get away from the every day rat race but still get the satisfaction of helping those in need. Aries: If you're an Aries, you've got energy for days. Sitting on a beach soaking up the sun doesn't exactly tickle your fancy. You'll want to take all that restless energy and put it to good use. Try a trip down to Peru and make the ever-so-infamous trek up M

    http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/jakarta-travel-tips/ Like any other cities in the world, Jakarta is a noisy and chaotic metropolis. And same as those cities, there are cautions to be conscious of. Jakarta is much fun if you know what you are doing so if it is your first time in the city here are some travel tips for you. Customs and etiquette are very important anywhere but in Indonesia there are some certain points that you must remember. Although Indonesians are usually laid-back, there are some dos and don'ts that you must be sensitive just so you won't offend. When entering temples, mosques, and even some shops, shoes should always be removed. Skits and shorts must cover your knees when in town. Pointing is also prohibited and eating with your left hand is offensive as it is only used for toilet duties. Smooching or public display of affection with partner or with a local is considered too be very offensive. Keep it cool and keep your temper in check even in the most tempting circumstances. Although Jakarta is not tip-heavy at least be a bit generous more especially to a non-service-charging restaurant and the rounding up of a cab bill. When it comes to money matters, the local currency is the Indonesian rupiah (Rp), with notes ranging from Rp500 to Rp100,000 and coins of up to Rp1,000. If you you got to change money, you must go directly to the banks instead of having them changed in the hotels because you will have a bad time due to their worst exchange rate! But good thing about Jakarta is they are a fairly credit card-friendly city with shops, restaurants and hotels all generally accepting Visa and MasterCard. Be careful of high ATM charges and remember cash is king in the inexpensive markets. It is hot year round in Jakarta because of it close proximity with the equator with little deviation in the seasonal sense. During October to February, the monsoon season goes and it is particularly wet while June through September is generall

Each one of them meets ShopSmart's requirements for contact info disclosure and customer service. In addition, check out the last minute travel sections of the Big Three sites (Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity). And try GetARoom.com (800-468-3578) for super-low unpublished room deals.
