Some top tips to travel right

A careful planning has required in travelling abroad. Unless, of course, you are one of those carefree backpackers who can head out at a moment's notice. If not, then brush up on these helpful tips to travel right...

1. While on long flights, make sure that you walk in the aisle at regular intervals. This prevents your feet from swelling up.

2. Figure out the requirements for various security checks in the place you are travelling to. There are some places with specific restrictions that you need to know before actually landing there.

3. If you are prone to air sickness, pop an anti-sickness pill before the flight. Otherwise you can be in for a rather rough ride.

4. Before you head to a place, do enough research over the Net and pour over travel guides to make the most of your vacation.

5. Always ask locals about the great places to visit. They can be of much greater help as compared to tourist guides.

6. Put your name and the phone number of your destination on the inside and outside of your bags.

7. Travel light, as far as possible. Try bringing one carry bag that will fit underneath your airplane seat.

8. Make sure your bags don't have any straps or hooks sticking out that could get caught on something and damage your bag.

9. Take out appropriate travel insurance to cover hospital treatment, medical evacuation and any activities, including adventure sports, which you plan to take on.

10. Check to see if you require visas for the country or countries you are visiting or transiting. Also, a visa does not guarantee entry.

11. Leave a copy of your travel itinerary with someone at home. Keep in touch with friends and relatives while overseas. When travelling abroad, make sure you have copies of your passport details, insurance policy, travellers' cheques, visa and credit card numbers. Carry a copy in addition to the originals and also leave one at home.

12. Carry your valuables as well as all your important travel documents in your hand luggage.

13. Reduce stress by keeping aside plenty of time to check in and reach your departure gate.

Ultimate 7 places of the world!

With God as the artist, Times Travel explores some of the most awe inspiring natural wonders of the world.

Victoria Falls, Africa
Standing in front of the Victoria Falls in Zambia, there is little to stop you from marvelling at the divine artistry visible around. The same goes for numerous other natural landscapes and phenomenons, from skyscraper dwarfing mountains of the Himalayas to the melody of colour of the Aurora Borealis.

Grand Canyon, USA
The Grand Canyon may very well be the most popular of natural wonders. Spread 446-kms long and 29-kms wide, the canyon was created by continuous erosion of the land by the Colorado River. This area of Arizona is also home to various native American tribes who live in the caves of the canyon or along the banks of the river that winds its way through. With the Colorado river passing through for over 17 million years, the area has also exposed various layers of ancient rock which tell researchers something about geologic history. The Grand Canyon National Park situated here is home to various animals and plants and is a good place to spot the bald eagle. Travelers to the Grand Canyon can explore the area through walking treks with qualified guides or helicopter tours. More adventurous travelers take to the river with their rafts and kayaks.

Lago Carrera, Chile
General Carrera Lake would only be famous as the deepest lake in South America if it wasn't for the banks of marble that border it. The stone here has weathered and corroded under pressure from the water currents, creating a cathedral of marble. The passageways and caverns formed over vast stretches of time are sometimes large enough for small boats to glide through, albeit precariously. It does not take long to get enchanted by Las Cavernas de Marmol as this exquisite labyrinth is known locally.

Mount Roraima, South America
The impressive Mount Roraima is shared between the countries of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. This table top mountain is part of a series that date back over two billions years. With 400 meter-tall cliffs the mountain is home to its very own species of plants and insects. Explorers have also found caves with unique designs made by microbes eating their way into the silica walls. Access to Mount Roraima is difficult by road but helicopter tours are available from Santa Elena de Uairen in Venezuela to give you a majestic view of the Mount top nestled among the clouds.

Salar De Uyuni, Bolivia
The world's largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni situated on the Altiplano plateau, in the monsoons, doubles up as the world's largest mirror for most tourists looking to take some quirky pictures. The stretch of flat saline ground gets a mirror like surface from the water that forms a layer over the salt and is able to clearly reflect the sky above. In the middle of the salt flat is the Incahuasi Island — a brown spot on this sheet of white. The arid island is covered in cacti and has a tourist centre for those visiting. The salt flat is also a stop over for arge flocks of pink flamingos and their flight over the reflective surface makes for beautiful photographs.

Tsingy De Bemaraha, Madagascar
This unique stone forest in Madagascar looks like something out of Lord of The Rings. Credit this to the giant limestone structures that look like pine trees from a distance or the various endemic species of flora and fauna that can only be found in Tsingy De Bemaraha and nowhere else in the world. Animals, insects and plants are still being discovered in its dense forests and wet caves, so a visit here is sure to surprise you.

Satffa, Scotland
Many visitors to the island of Staffa in Scotland refuse to believe that the phenomenon of its pillared stone formations are natural. The symmetry and design of the hexagonal basalt columns, created by volcanic activity make the walls of the island's caves look like the interiors of a Gothic cathedral. Similar formations can be found in Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, on the island of Ulva and Ardmeanach on the Isle of Mull.

Pamukkale, Turkey
Turkey has numerous wonders but none can doubt the breath stealing ability of Pamukkale (cotton castle). At first glance the stepped hills look snow blanketed. This is the effect of the hot springs in the area that create a deposit of calcium carbonate making the area around look like it's covered with cotton. Tourists visit Pamukkale to bathe in its mineral springs.
