"Go for the Sawadee 60 minute foot massage. Its 990 bucks and worth it - I slept right through it and woke up feeling great."

"Go for the full body massage. Expensive, but worth it."

"Located 20 minutes outside Manali this is an awesome bar with live music and good food/drinks. Ask for Rutwik at the bar - he'll hook you up with whatever you need! PS: They have cheap rooms to let."

"Nothing special about this place. The lounge is crap and very muggy. The VIP room has AC but is filled with shady looking men. Food is average at best. Avoidable."

"When negotiating for membership fee, just keep a price you're willing to pay and stick to it. Do not budge and they will concede. Obviously your amount has to be reasonable. Expect Bollywood crowd."

"Probably my favorite place for grilled meats in Mumbai. Lamb and chicken are amazingly succulent - go for them instead of any curry dishes. And - do not forget to order the dal bukhara!"
