50 Best Camps of India – Thrillophilia Releases its New List for Season 2012-2013
(PRWEB) May 11, 2012
It is not often that travel companies in India pay attention to the adventure side of things. While there are numerous lists and rankings on the best hotels in the country, and the top tourist attractions in uncommon parts of India, there is seldom any focus on offbeat holidays and weekend getaways. Finally, that seems to be changing, the list of ?50 best camps in India? the latest proof of that.
Thrillophilia, a company dedicated to adventure getaways, has come out with an exhaustive list of 50 best camps in India. The list features the best camps through the length and breadth of India. It has camps in the vicinity of treks in Ladakh; persons located close to wildlife sanctuaries in Kerala; some close to not so well loved but exciting experiences such as trekking in Sikkim and a lot more.
Thrillophilia, founded in2009, is known for organizing adventure trips across India. According to Abhishek Daga, Co-Founder Thrillophilia, ?With the stressed lifestyles of today and rising income of average Indian, people in India are waking up to the potential of adventure and offbeat travel. We help them organize team building activities, performance enhancement exercises etc. by keeping adventure getaways as our focus. We are adept at organizing activities such as trekking in India on some well-known trekking trails and some offbeat ones too.?
The list of 50 best camps in India is a part of a series of such initiatives taken by the company in the past to make people aware of the best adventure experiences in India. In the past, Thrillophilia has come out with a list of 101 best adventure activities in India, and a list of 51 offbeat destinations in India etc.
According to Daga, ?Our target audience is people who are looking for the adventurous side of India. Adventure in India is just about beginning to pick up, and people still don?t know what are the best places for an exhilarating encounter in the country. Such lists are an effort on our part to make people aware of the best adventure experiences in the country.?
Going by the lists released so far and what Daga has to say, Thrillophilia looks like a excellent bet for persons who are looking for an adventure getaway in the country, be it trekking in Himalayas, river rafting, rappelling, or even jumaring, which is small known but an adventurous sport.

The Holy Grail of Roy Halladay Rookie Cards Goes Up for Auction
Sports Room “After”
Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
Roy Halladay is bound for the Hall of Fame and widely considered by the majority of sports writers as being the most dominant carafe of the last ten-years. With nearly 200 wins, 2,000 strikeouts, 66 complete sports meeting, 22 shutouts, two Cy Young Awards, a perfect game and a post season no-hitter on his resume, it is pretty simple to agree.
The three-time, 20-game winner could retire early at the end of this season and be a first ballot inductee into Cooperstown. That being said Roy “Doc” Halladay, as his fans know him, should continue to dominate MLB hitters for another five seasons or, at the very least, through his 2014 contract with the Phillies.
One South Florida man has spent more than three-years assembling what can arguably be called the best collection of Halladay’s most coveted sports cards. The crown rock of the collection is the 1998 Upper Deck SP Prospects President’s Edition rookie card. It is an ultra limited edition card of which only ten were ever bent and only two have ever been submitted to Beckett Grading Services or any other company for authentication. This particular card owned by the South Florida Halladay fan, who wishes to remain anonymous, is the highest graded version known to be in existence. Graded a BGS 9.0, the card is certified as being authentic and in mint condition.
The same collector also owns the only known regular version of the same rookie card that has been graded a BGS 9.5 Gem Mint condition card. These particular cards are very condition sensitive and thus extremely hard to obtain in perfect condition. They feature foil edges and a black border on the reverse, which are all things that add up to a card being nearly impossible to find in excellent shape. The collector has somewhat reluctantly place both of the cards up for auction on eBay.
According to the collector, “a huge part of this whole thing was the joy of the hunt for the cards. There were only ten of the President’s Edition cards ever bent and finding one in excellent enough condition to grade a BGS 9.0 was not simple. Since I’ve accomplished my goal I figure it is time to go on, and the money from the sale will certainly be welcomed.”
The reserve price of $ 10,000 might seem extreme to some at first glance but consider this: Albert Pujols, a player who emerged right around the same time as Halladay and who also dominated the league for the majority of his career as a power hitter, has a rookie card for which fifty-times as many were bent as the Halladay card (500) and routinely sells for $ 15,000 or more. In March, New York Knicks now injured phenom Jeremy Lin had a card, which was limited to just twenty-five copies that sold for $ 16,000 on eBay. Even the infamous Honus Wagner T-206 baseball card, which has sold for more than two million dollars, is thought to have a total of 100 copies in existence. Earlier this year a Halladay Bowman Chrome rookie card, which to date the only one ever graded a BGS 10, sold for $ 1,500; but tens of thousands of that particular card were bent. Therefore, a Halladay card that is limited to just 10 and is graded a BGS 9.0 should widely be considered his most valuable and coveted baseball card ever bent.
The peddler is not sure how the auction will end up, but but it does the buyer is certain of one thing, “In my opinion, I reckon this is the holy grail of Roy’s rookie cards. I honestly don’t reckon there will ever be one that will grade above this one.”
It might sound like a sales pitch but consider this, while on his search, the collector sought out and bought as many boxes of the 1998 Upper Deck SP Prospects cards as he could find in the hopes of finding a mint version of the card. In total, the collector bought more than 100 boxes. Of persons 100 boxes, the collector yielded about eighty of the regular versions of the base rookie card. Of persons eighty, only six were in excellent enough condition to warrant being sent off for grading. All six of persons cards came back as BGS 9.0 cards. The one of ten President’s Edition card and the BGS 9.5 card were both bought direct from other collectors.
The peddler has also chose to donate 10% of the total sale price to the Family’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The auction runs through next Monday and can be found by going to the following auction link.

Just a couple of hours north of Portland Oregon, you start to get a sense of being far removed from people and out in the wilderness once you exit the interstate and head east into the park. A winding mountain road takes you through a dense forest and the destination of the historic National Park Inn is a rewarding encounter. The public areas and cozy fireplace provide the perfect setting to gather the family for a fun game after a day of climbing the gorgeous trails.
#4. Fantastic Smokey National Park, Gatlinburg Tennessee
Only 2 hours from Ashville, North Carolina, Gatlinburg and the surrounding counties offer many selections of family friendly cottages and campgrounds perfect for a mountain getaway. Fantastic daily adventures include climbing, biking, fishing, cave exploration and white water rafting. Our favorite choice is a day at Dollywood where thrilling rides and an extremely friendly staff make for wonderful family memories. Back at the cottage, brew some tea and pop some popcorn for family game nighttime!
#3. Saugatuck, Michigan
A mere 2 hours from Chicago and Detroit, this bedroom Lake Michigan Community offers peace, serenity and mostly cool summer nights. This is an ideal summer escape to gather friends and family for a raucous party game! Open air cottages, fireflies and candlelit deck parties add to the encounter your family will permanently cherish.
#2. Fernandina Beach, Florida
Ancient fashioned Florida charm dominates in this beach community where long bone idle beach days give way to exciting fun evening activities. While listening to the waves crash against the gorgeous empty beachfront, have everyone come out on the deck, pull up some chairs, pour some boat drinks and play a party game like Whirled Peas!
#1. Tybee Island, Georgia
Twenty minutes from gorgeous Savannah Georgia, Tybee is the quintessential shabby CHIQUE beach town. Graceful early 1900′s cottages filled with many rooms and wrap around screen porches dominate the accommodation supply. Gathering friends and family is an annual affair and by the side of with the fine ancient Savannah families, new visitors are permanently welcome. Take the family game nighttime memories – but please leave only your footprints behind.
