<p>&#8216;Health is Wealth&#8217; a very common phrase but has its deep essence in every sphere of life. <a rel="nofollow" title="Travel" href="http://www.backpackinasia.com/goto/_Travel/15/1"> Travel</a> to any place is extravagant and exhaustive. This one word is easy to utter but calls for great attention in terms of healthy and hygienic travel while in India. Be it a business trip, a luxury travel or a casual tour to India, your life is full of journey. In whatever physical condition we are, we have to get set and go. Your body bears the toll of a tour and as such your ill-health may ruin an interesting traveling plan. Other than spending our bank balance for travel, spend a good time to care for a hygienic travel.</p>
<p>Follow the cited recommendations and enjoy a stress-free travel, just anywhere.<br />
<strong><br />
Preparation for a Hygienic travel in India </strong><br />
Besides packing your luggages, travelers should study the geographical and climatic condition of their places of interest in India. One must-do task lies in checking the medical, hygienic and pharmaceuticals facilities of the place before traveling. Travelers should inspect their physical status and should follow the follow the guidelines on vaccination and health precautions. In case of your pre-existing medical problems, do carry the prescription detailing your medical condition and assigned medicines. It is effective to pack a few medicines and additional eyeglasses along with other necessities. Senior citizen must be aware of the local condition of the travel destination you are visiting in India. They must be wise enough to think if they are able to undertake the journey. And though your wardrobe is filled with fashionable garments, do carry a few of them. Physically challenged individuals should learn about the hygiene facilities provided by the mode of transportation. Health may counter act the cherishable moments and as such take proper documentation of immunizations and consult your physician regarding your traveling plan. One very important point for all kind of travelers is to make an health insurance policy. It will not only make you feel secure, but will also provide you with the adequate medical facilities all across the world. At times, your travel insurance policy may not work out in abroad and so you need to confirm a temporary insurance policy of the place you plan to visit.</p>
<p><strong>Health and Hygiene during travel in India</strong><br />
Your journey begins with wonderful schedule. But the everlasting dream may turn into a nightmare, if your health turns poor all of a sudden. One key point during your travel lies in caring about your food-habits in India. Take fresh fruits, vegetables and drink liters of water. Avoid spicy food-stuff and alcoholic drinks. If possible carry your own lunch-bag and avoid having food stuffs from strangers . The most common health hazard comes with dehydration. A camel ride in Rajasthan or a walk on the sandy<a rel="nofollow" title="beaches of Goa" href="http://www.backpackinasia.com/goto/_beaches_of_Goa/15/2"> beaches of Goa</a> calls for an undesirable scorching heat of Sun. Make sure you stay hydrated with drinking bottles of clean, boiled water. Your travel demands energetic and enthusiastic mood for which you need comfortable sleeping hours. Ensure that you use a cushy pillow which supports your neck-line. Carrying your own pump-pillow will keep you away from used one. Your eyes will get relieved with applying sleep mask on the journey. This are generally made of natural herbs which adds a cool refreshing look even after a tiresome trip. India experiences a range of changing temperature in different her location and as such do carry a warm shawl with you. The desert land Rajasthan may offer you the high humid condition, so do pack a folding fan onto your purse. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes during your journey and feel fresh all the time. Unload your luggage with a perfume which will help you protect form smelly environment. Moisture your skin with lotion and take proper care of your most precious hair, hand, feet and face. You can also combine a hygienic travel with visits to the Ayurveda center in the states of Goa, Kerala and Rajasthan in India.</p>
<p><strong>Health and Hygiene after Travel in India</strong><br />
After you had a successful hygienic travel, do not feel lazy to carry forward your care for health. Let not your moments of joy turn into the saddest part of your life. You have been in the alien land and you might not know that you have turned a source of many infectious diseases. Many diseases remains dormant at the initial stage and burst out at once. Thus it is important to have a medical check-up after you return to your own land. The ultimate mantra of life lies in precaution and protection against adverse condition. So friends stay safe, be healthy and enjoy traveling to India even more.</p>

<p>The third largest island in Thailand, Koh Samui is a tropical paradise, situated in the Gulf of Thailand in the South China Sea, about 85 km east of Surat Thani and 700 km south of Bangkok. Bestowed with natural scenic surroundings, spectacular as well as diverse flora and fauna, wonderful beaches, magnificent coves and bays, amazing islets, and dazzling waterfalls, Koh Samui is truly a mix of all that are best in the country.</p>
<p>Since Koh Samui gives harvest to more than two million coconuts each month, the island is also sometimes referred to as the &#8216;Coconut Island.&#8217; Until 1970s&#8217; Koh Samui was only popular as a backpackers&#8217; destination. But, Koh Samui has now grown to include a range of attractions and facilities to enjoy a variety of activities from diving, snorkeling, and sailing to trekking and hiking.</p>
<p>The major draw of the island is undoubtedly its coastline, endowed with pearl-like white sandy beaches and coves and beaches. Of the beaches in the island, most popular is Chaweng beach, which is the longest in the island.</p>
<p>The beach and its surroundings are a center for fun and entertainment. Further, the area is dotted with a range of world-class hotels, resorts, restaurants, and nightclubs. Another fantastic beach in the island is Lamai Beach, which is much favored for its teeming nightlife. For a magical experience, take a tour to Bophut beach, whose surroundings are strewn with an array of old Chinese shops, superb gift shops, and eateries with sumptuous pizza.</p>
<p>Close to the Bophut Beach is Choengmon Beach, which is also a much sought recreational area. Likewise, for vacationers seeking solitude amid serene setting, then one of the best choices would be Maenam beach, situated in the north of Samui Island. Also, popular are Samui Beaches such as Big Buddha Beach, Taling Ngam, and Lipa Noi Beach.</p>
<p>With these spectacular as well as tranquil beaches, Koh Samui is truly a mecca to enjoy an array of leisurely and adventure activities such as para sailing, scuba diving, sea skiing, fishing, and sea canoeing. If you don&#8217;t want to indulge in any of the aforesaid activities, then simply take a stroll along the stunning beaches to experience its unrivalled beauty and elegance.</p>
<p>Apart from the activities that are revolved around its unparalleled beaches and shorelines, Koh Samui offers much more. Thai cuisines are regarded as among the best in the world. Hence, become an adept in Thai cooking by taking advantage of superb Thai cooking courses rendered by some of the excellent restaurants in the area.</p>
<p>If you are looking for something different while your stay at Koh Samui, then head to the nearby stadium to spectacle amazing Thai boxing, which includes five rounds of three minutes each. Likewise, if you don&#8217;t mind some violence, take opportunity to spectacle such traditional activities as buffalo fighting. One of the best options for fun lovers would be monkey show. Further, nothing would be better than a hiking or trekking trip for those interested in exploring the natural serenity of the place, comprising lush green vegetation, verdant hills, and brilliant waterfalls.</p>
<p>Above all, Koh Samui&#8217;s sightseeing options are aplenty, with a range of unusual as well as refreshing attractions. Probably the most significant of the Koh Samui&#8217;s landmarks is Big Buddha, a temple whose focal point is a 12 m high golden statue of Buddha that can be seen even away from several kilometers. For nature lovers, a visit to the Butterfly Garden with hundreds of rare species of spectacular bufferflies would be a unique experience. Also, found within the garden are a bee house and a museum featuring some rare species of insects from across the nation as well as other countries. Similarly, take a tour to Samui&#8217;s Crocodile Farm to have a fascinating look on different types of crocodiles such as Siam crocodiles, saltwater crocodiles, and Caimans.</p>
<p>Not to miss attractions in the island also include phallic rocks, which is popular among the locals as Grandfather Rock and Grandmother Rock; Lamai Overlap Stone, which is considered a challenge to climb this impressive boulder; Secret Buddha Garden, which is home to beautiful temples, statues, and waterfalls; Snake Farm, which has to its credit some of the most poisonous as well as scary snakes in Asia; and Samui Aquarium and Zoo. Equally marvelous are the temples or wats in the region, such as, Hainan Temple, Hin Lad Waterfall Temple, Laem Sor Pagoda, and Pagoda Khao Chedi.</p>
<p>From stylish sea view villas and bungalows to beachfront resorts and world-class hotels, all of the accommodation options in Samui are superb. Majority of them provide top-notch facilities including air-conditioned rooms coupled with en-suite bathrooms, lounge, kitchen, and dining room. Additionally, many of the villas and apartments offer maid service, apart from facilities such as superb swimming pools and complimentary airport transfers. Fantastic accommodation options are also available for budget conscious travelers.</p>
<p>With these incredible attractions and activities to enjoy, Koh Samui is truly a pearl of the Gulf of Thailand.</p>
