National Geographic Expeditions Celebrates 125th Anniversary With New Travel Options
Exactly 125 years ago today the National Geographic Society was officially formed. Its founders set out to create an organization "for the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge" and considering everything that Nat Geo has accomplished over the years, I'd say they succeeded. The Society will celebrate this important milestone in a variety of ways throughout this year, including adding a number of special itineraries to their award-winning travel service, National Geographic Expeditions.Exploration and discovery have long been at the heart of what drives the National Geographic Society forward and the trips that they have scheduled to celebrate their 125th anniversary reflect those values quite clearly. All told, there are ten itineraries to choose from, ranging from a seven-day excursion to Mayan ruins with Nat Geo grantee William Saturno to a 38-day epic journey through South America that includes stops in eight countries. Other options include a visit to East Africa to spot primates and a sailing adventure along Canada's wild coast. There are even four specially designed photographic adventures that combine amazing destinations with photo workshops. Those destinations include places like the Grand Canyon, Tanzania and Morocco.
Of course, many of these itineraries are available from competing travel companies, often at a lower price. But what sets the Nat Geo Expeditions tours apart are the amazing men and women that you'll have the opportunity to interact with along the way. For instance, on the photo expeditions you'll hone your own skills by learning from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographers, while the other trips are led by NG Explorers-in-Residence, writers, biologists and more. These extraordinary people can provide experiences and insights that simply can't be found elsewhere.
Checkout the entire list of National Geographic Expedition tours on the company's website and help Nat Geo celebrate its 125th anniversary in style.

When flying from the city of dreams aka Mumbai
Flying along the West Coast (Mumbai to Cochin)
Mumbai and Cochin both are the coastal cities. Mumbai is located near the entrance of Ulhas River on the western coast of India, in the coastal region which is known as the Konkan. Cochin is also present in the West coast of India .Both the cities face humid weather because of their proximity to sea. Which actually differentiate the two cities are their different cultural and life styles. Life in Mumbai which is one of the major metropolitan cities of India has a fast pace. Cochin leads a peaceful way of living life. It is also one of the major port cities of India. One can book the Mumbai to Cochin flight with the click of mouse using various internet based websites. Out of them many websites provide special discounts on airfares. It takes around 1 hour and 57 min to fly from Mumbai to Cochin.
