I have a simple question. I want to take some time out to do some long term travelling over a few years. However, I currently take two sets of medication for anxiety: sertraline and propranolol. Is it possible to acquire medications like these while in a foreign country? If so how? What preparations would I need to make to ensure I can take my medication?

Last month, I nearly missed my flight to Vietnam because my e-visa application was still pending just one day before departure.


After searching through travel forums and Reddit discussions, I learned that many travelers face similar issues, including:


  • Delayed e-visa approvals
  • Incorrect passport information
  • Last-minute travel plans
  • Holiday processing delays

I decided to use a private visa assistance service to speed up the process.


The service I used was Vietnam Visa Easy, which specializes in urgent Vietnam e-visa support. They offer several expedited options, including same-day processing and emergency visa assistance for travelers who need approval quickly.


What impressed me most was:


✅ Fast WhatsApp support


✅ Clear communication throughout the process


✅ Help checking application details before submission


✅ Multiple urgent processing options available


The visa arrived much faster than I expected, and I was able to board my flight without any issues.


I also noticed that the company has received many positive customer reviews, particularly from travelers who needed urgent visa assistance before departure.


For anyone traveling to Vietnam and worried about visa delays, it may be worth researching professional visa assistance services in advance.


Useful resource:

Has anyone else had experience with urgent Vietnam visa services? I'd love to hear your recommendations and tips.

India's Golden Triangle Tour covering Delhi, Agra and Jaipur is the most popular first trip to the country, and it's easy to see why. In one neat loop you travel through eight centuries of history: mighty Mughal forts, the incomparable Taj Mahal, rose-pink palaces, world-class bazaars and food you'll still be thinking about months later. The three cities sit a few hours apart by road, which makes them simple to string together.

What are the places to explore in Delhi?

India's capital is where most international trips start: a layered, fast-moving city where Mughal monuments, wide colonial avenues and frenetic old bazaars sit side by side. Give it at least a full day, ideally two.

Red Fort (Lal Qila) - Shah Jahan's mighty red-sandstone fort was the seat of Mughal power for two centuries and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Jama Masjid & Old Delhi - India's largest mosque, completed in 1656, with a vast courtyard that holds tens of thousands of worshippers.
Qutub Minar - A soaring 73-metre victory tower from the 12th–13th centuries, the tallest brick minaret in the world and another UNESCO site.
Humayun's Tomb - The first great Mughal garden-tomb (1570s)- all red sandstone and perfect symmetry and the architectural blueprint that, decades later, led to the Taj Mahal.
India Gate & the capital's avenues - A 42-metre war memorial standing at the head of Delhi's grand ceremonial boulevard, flanked by stately government buildings and the presidential palace, Rashtrapati Bhavan.

This is only in Delhi and the rest of the tour is left. For more details checkout - 15 Unmissable Golden Triangle Stops. Tell us your travel dates and what you'd love to see, and we'll plan a private, tailor-made Golden Triangle trip around you- with an honest, all-in quote and a guide who knows every one of these stops inside out.

September and October mark a comfortable travel window for the Varanasi Ayodhya Prayagraj circuit, once the peak monsoon humidity eases and temperatures become more bearable for extended sightseeing and temple visits.

This guide outlines a complete tour plan connecting three of Uttar Pradesh's most significant spiritual cities- Varanasi's ancient ghats and the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Ayodhya's Ram Mandir, and Prayagraj's sacred Sangam where the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati are believed to meet. It covers how to sequence the three cities efficiently, approximate travel time between them, and what to prioritize at each stop, from the evening Ganga Aarti in Varanasi to the serene riverfront at Prayagraj.

The guide is particularly useful for travellers coming from Delhi who want to cover all three destinations in a single trip rather than multiple separate visits. It also addresses practical considerations like the best mode of travel for a multi-city itinerary and tips for navigating crowded temple areas comfortably. For groups and families, travelling together in a spacious vehicle simplifies logistics considerably across this triangle route. This resource is a solid planning reference for anyone looking to undertake a meaningful, well-paced pilgrimage across these three historic cities this season.

FAQs​

1. Is September–October a good time to visit Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj?​

Yes. September and October are among the best months for this pilgrimage circuit. The weather becomes more pleasant after the monsoon, making temple visits, sightseeing, and riverfront walks more comfortable.

2. How many days are needed for the Varanasi–Ayodhya–Prayagraj circuit?​

A 4 to 5-day trip is ideal to comfortably explore all three destinations, attend the Ganga Aarti in Varanasi, visit the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, and experience the Sangam in Prayagraj.

3. What is the best route for the Varanasi–Ayodhya–Prayagraj circuit?​

A recommended itinerary is: Delhi → Ayodhya → Prayagraj → Varanasi → Delhi
This route reduces unnecessary travel and allows a smooth pilgrimage experience.
