Darjeeling in India owes’ its grandeur to its natural beauty, its clean fresh mountain air and above all, the smiling resilient people for whom it is a home. Known for its natural splendor, Darjeeling’s best gift to its’ visitors is the dawn of a new day. The mountains awaken first with a tentative peeking of the sun.

A steep ride, five kilometers from Ghoom, or an invigorating walk up a steep incline, leads sun worshippers to Tiger Hill. The air is chilly with darkness and damp. To the east, a dull orange sun emerged painting the sky with brilliant strokes of magenta, gold, orange and fuchsia.

Top 10 Hottest Indian Women

1. Padma Lakshmi

Deepika might be the most beautiful woman from India at the moment but there are Indian women who left the country to impress the whole world. Imagine a really, really hot girl who not only can spice your bedroom but she’s also a top level cook who can spice it up in the kitchen too. That’s exactly what Padma Lakshmi is, a model, actress, author and tv host of multiple cooking shows including Top chef. She’s more woman than most guys can handle and she definitely has the total package to impress a man. If we also add the fact that she’s not like the rest of Indian women who prefer to hide their delightful bodies, this babe has it all. That’s why we consider Padma Lakshmi as being the Hottest Indian Woman.

2. Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone is a new sensation in India where even though she’s pretty young she’s probably the most successful babe from this country. Indians are totally in love with her and say she’s the most beautiful girl from their country and we surely agree with that. She was a top caliber badminton player while she was in high school but show business took her way and not only she’s the most popular actress at the moment but she’s also a world class model doing work for Close-up, Maybelline, Tissot and other well known brands.

3. Riya Sen

Riya Sen is a well known Bollywood Actress who grew up in a family of other Bollywood Actors and Indian Royalty. Aside from being incredibly hot, she’s really short, or at least that’s how the guys from HolyTaco describe her. Compared to other Indian actresses this babe loves to show off her body and that gets extra points from us.

4. Mallika Sherawat

Mallika Sherawat began her career as an air hostess while obtaining her degree in Indian Philosophy and after she finished her studies she decided to try her luck and pursue her Bollywood dreams. So far, she’s living it up and she’s one of the best in the field. Not only she’s really belautiful, but she’s also pretty smart so that would make her a pretty great package.

5. Freida Pinto

So guess what? Freida Pinto is also an Indian actress but compared to rest of the actress who appear in those silly movies she went for something bigger and she appeared in Slumdog Millionaire. I’m a bit impressed that movie was so successful because if you’d ask me, that movie was shit. Anyway, after her appearance in this movie her fame went global and she also made some sensual pics to please our eyes.

6. Koena Mitra

Apparently Koena Mitra is a fantastic dancer after she practiced dancing for about 12 years. Probably those great dance numbers on the screen made her really popular in India, but my full attention goes to her stunning body! Of course, I’d love to see this tight body doing a private dance for me, but dressed as I say. Koena is not like other Indian women who hide most of their bodies and we even found some drool inducing pictures with her.

7. Aishwarya Rai

You would be surprised to see how many people consider Aishwarya Rai as being the most beautiful woman in the world. For me, yeah, she’s hot, she has probably the most amazing eyes you’ll every see but since she’s not showing too much skin she’s not as hot as others. She won the Miss World title lots of years ago and besides being one of the most popular Indian actresses she was also named of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.

8. Bipasha Basu

Guess what? According to Wikipedia Bipasha Bassu is another Indian model who turned to acting and mainly appears in Bollywood films. It seems that if you’re hot in India, the most amazing thing you could do is play in their movies which is not great, right? Anyway, Bipasha is apparentlythe winner of a Supermodel contest and she’s now one of the most popular actresses from this country.

9. Priyanka Chopra

I’m sure most of you already heard this name or have seen her before. Priyanka Chopra gained fame after winning the Miss World Title back in 2000 and after that she started working as a model and also entered the movie industry from Bollywood. She made it to a couple of films, probably successful locally but I’m sure we’d all like to see more of her as a model rather than seeing her movies.

10. Neha Dhupia

Neha Dhupia is a hot Indian actress who appears in… guess what? Bollywood films, of course. Any movie in which actors sing and dance seems gay for me but in India this is something regular and that’s how they like their movies. Weird tastes I’d say, right? Anyway, Neha is a former beauty queen and also won Femina Miss India 2002, which is a lot since the country has that many women.

10 Lavish Modern Royal Weddings

1. Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum of Dubai & Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum (1979)

The king of Dubai’s wedding was more of a national festival than a nuptial. A 20,000 seater stadium was purpose built for the ceremony which featured displays of horse and camel riding and an aerobatics display by the Dubai Air Force. The total cost, when adjusted for inflation, is estimated to be around $100 million. You have to trust the Emiratis to overdo it.

2. Prince Charles of United Kingdom and Diana Spencer (1981)

Perhaps the wedding of the generation, this captivating ceremony was broadcasted live to an audience of 750 million people. Diana’s infamous wedding gown featured a 25 foot train, 8 meter long veil and a $15000 bill. The entire show cost around $50 million.

3. Prince Felipe of Spain and Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano (2004)

A wedding that will sadly be remembered for things other than the wedding itself. Crown Prince Felipe’s choice was an award winning news reporter and divorcee who he met when she was covering the sinking of the Prestige oil tanker in 2002. The wedding was held at the Cathedral Nuestra Senora de la Almudena in Madrid, which witnessed a massive one million flower plantation campaign and other excessive decorative sieges. The event was secured by 18,000 policemen and soldiers, since 191 people had been killed by subway bombings in the city only two months ago. This huge security effort pumped the cost of the wedding up to a staggering $29 million. Other highlights included an uninvited retired Colonel managing to sneak in with a gun and a royal Italian fistfight between Prince Vittorio Emanuele and Duke Amedeo.

4. Prince Rainier of Monaco and Grace Kelly (1956)

The Monacoan prince, who once dumped a girlfriend because she was infertile, was perhaps the most eligible bachelor of his time. He met the Hollywood icon in Cannes and the ball was soon rolling. The real cost of the wedding has been never ascertained but is estimated to be in tens of millions of dollars. Prince Rainer’s father demanded a $2 million dowry and the bride’s father Jack Kelly paid half of that. The prince gifted his bride a 147-foot yacht called “Deo Juvante II” and the couple spent their honeymoon on the same boat, with Kelly being frequently seasick.

5. King Mohammed VI and Lalla Salma Bennani (2002)

This wedding was significant not only for the massive bill but also for being a rather ‘modern’ affair. The King met the 24 year old computer engineer at a party and the couple were soon engaged. In breaking with tradition, the engagement was announced on television and the bride was actually shown with the King, a far cry from the secretive wives and harems Mohammad’s father had kept. Their wedding encompassed a tradition royal function, in which the bride was kept completely covered, and a massive public celebration in Rabat, attended by dignitaries such as Bill and Chelsea Clinton. The entire festival is thought to have cost tens of millions of dollars.

6. Prince Pavlos of Greece and Denmark and Marie-Chantal Miller (1995)

The Greek crown prince-in-exile and prince of Denmark, Prince Pavlos’s wedding to the American heiress saw the biggest gathering of royalty since Queen Elizabeth’s wedding to Prince Philip in 1947. The event was organized by Lady Elizabeth Anson, Queen Elizabeth’s cousin who chose the iconic St. Sophia’s Cathedral in London as the venue. The equally ornate reception by Miller, who reportedly carried a $130 million dowry, cost $8 million. Not everyone was happy though and the wedding was billed as “provocative” by the Greek socialist government.

7. Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah of Brunei and Sarah Saleh (2004)

The Brunei royalty is well known for flaunting its wealth and royal weddings are certainly no exception. The 30 year old crown Prince Billah’s traditional Malay wedding to the 17 year old commoner Saleh was held at the 1788 room royal palace and was laced with the usual gems and gold. The highlights included a 15 minute fireworks display viewed by over 20,000 spectators, a 5 mile 100 limousine royal parade and a $5 million price tag. However, even all this might have been upstaged by Princess Hajah Bulqiah’s wedding 3 years later.

8. Princess Victoria of Sweden and Daniel Westling (2010)

When Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden announced her intention to marry her personal trainer Daniel Westling, her father King Carl XVI Gustaf was reportedly “shocked”. The sheer opulence of the wedding has been compared with that of Charles and Diana’s nuptials and cost more than $3 million. The ceremony took place in Stockholm Cathedral in front of 15 kings and queens (and Tiger Wood’s mother-in-law) while 250,000 people lined the streets. The event did raise a furor in equality-minded Sweden with 57,000 people joining a Facebook group to protest against the public expense and the King’s public approval ratings plummeting. Rumor has it that the King had advised the Princess to “have a go” at Prince Andrew.

9. Prince Phillipe of Belgium and Countess Mathilde d’Udekem d’Acoz (1999)

Prince Phillipe’s wedding to the aristrocratic speech therapist was unusual for taking place in the cold winter months. This however did nothing to cool down the expenditures and the ceremony went ahead with the usual royal flair. The guests included Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito and Prince Charles. The princess’s wedding gown, designed by Edouard Vermeulen, has been hailed as one of the most stylish royal wedding dresses of the last century. Decorations for the cathedral, where the ceremony was held, alone cost $250,000. Interestingly, Princess Mathilde is the first Belgian-born royal consort in the Monarchy’s history.

10. Prince Haakon Magnus of Norway and Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby (2001)

These days, any wedding taking place in Oslo is going to be an expensive affair, let alone a highly talked about royal wedding. Prince Haakon’s wedding plans kicked up quite a storm in Norway due to the fact the Mette-Marit was a single mother who had been quite a raver in her time and the father of her child had a history of drug related offences. The lavish ceremony went ahead without any glitches though and had distinguished royalty from all over Europe in attendance
