Wow - that would be fun - but entering such contests will wait until my children are grown, I'm afraid...

Wow! good luck...
btw whts the mode of transportation ?? I guess its not mentioned in thr site

Prashanth, I too do not know. I only got a request from the website if I could promote this on my blog (and I am not making anything monetary out of it) and beyond what is on the website I too have no knowledge.

The thing is, with 50,000 rupees for 15 days, I do not think you can travel by air much. But that is my guess.

Good luck. I hope you get it. I sent in a tape for a reality tv show here is the states called, The Amazing Race. It is my favorite show, where teams of two get to travel around the world on a race. I tried with my sister. Unfortunately we didn't get called back, but I know that we would be perfect for the show. Too bad. Hopefully you will get more lucky!

Thanks TT, but I am really not hopeful, I do not know the dates and I am trekking in June, most likely when the event will happen. I just entered on a whim.

VJ, so you think you will win? Did you write anything new? Let me check.

Thanks for the info. I put my entry there even though I am unlikely to have time. I wonder how would they be selecting people!

Me too have registered for this...And just wanted to see how popular this has been..

u have been doing quite a bit of traveling urself..me too am a big travel fan..but have not documented them as well as u have...

Arun, even I have a trek planned in June, but the idea of the contest is certainly appealing.

TCV, document it, after all I remember so many of the details of many of my journeys just because I have documented it. And 10 years later it will be much better to read this stuff I believe.
