Other than that, Darjeeling is one of my favourite places. there are more to add in this list, but for that I have to visit the places first

.

I HATE Vijaywada...in summer.

Vijayawada didn't look like much when I went through it...

FAV: HYDERABAD
LEAST FAV: AGRA/RANCHI

Best Place: I loved the Taj, loved Varanassi even though I had the worst 24 hour bacterial poo episode ever and loved Bikaner - great food.

Worst Place: Gohrakpur - it was my first intro to India. I was quite overwhelmed plus I had to fight in a queue to get a train ticket for about 3 hours. Man it was ordinary.

I've still got a lot to see. So my list will change.

Best: N-E-Town, India (with bazaar or box wallah)

Worst: Palika Bazaar

Pilar Ternera · Dec 20th, 2005, 06:55

Most favourite - Nilgiri Hills.
Least favourite - the slums of Mumbai.

sockeyeron · Dec 20th, 2005, 08:16

Most favourite - Hampi, Orccha, Hyderabad.
Least favourite - can't think of any!

Putty · Dec 20th, 2005, 16:50

Favourites:
Varanasi - for the sheer "watchability" factor. You can sit on the ghats all day and never get bored.
Dharamsala/McLeod Ganj - being surrounded by the warmth and kindness of the Tibetans and their culture.
Palolem Beach, Goa - absolute paradise.
Udaipur - beautiful, uncrowded place and great hotel to relax at (Mahendra Prakash)
Kerala Backwaters - peaceful serenity.

Least Favourites:
Agra & Amritsar - apart from Taj & Golden Temple, nothing much else on offer.

Places I have yet to visit:
Rishikesh/Haridwar/Mussoorie/Dehradun/Shimla
Pushkar/Jodhpur/Jaisalmer
Gwalior/Orccha
Bodhigaya
Kolkata
Lucknow
Hampi
Varkala/Trivandrum
Madurai

most favorite- Agonda beach (south Goa), Mandrem (north Goa), village on the way to the South Goa(forgot its name) Hampi (FAVORITE,LOVE this PLACE), Taj Mahal in Agra (sunrise there), Varanasi, Khajuraho in evening time.
least favorite-I was shocked when came to Pahar Ganj and stayed there for 1 night...it's too dirty there. Too much pollution in Delhi.
and SO MANY places to visit more

endless list

bijapuri · Dec 20th, 2005, 20:10

least fave- gridlocked in a rik between a state bus and a deisel lorry

Fave- a newly found fort or temple, not in ther modern guidebooks, with 2Gb of camera memory

imhere0905 · Dec 20th, 2005, 21:10

Most Favourite: Khajuraho and Rishikesh because of the people I met, everywhere I've been really except

Least Favourite: Agra (loved the Taj, hate the city) and Ujjain why I went to Ujjain I don't know it was such a bad call to get off that train early

Hmmmm

Then I have to visit the place again during summer. And that time I'll try to stay in the AP Tourism resort on that island of river Krishna.

Is there anyone who visited the BORA CAVE in Andhra? How the place is?

sirensongs · Dec 26th, 2005, 14:22

Favorite? Oh there's SO many. Pondy, Pune, Calcutta, Kerala, Mysore....

I should add that I've never been to Agra or Varanasi, 2 of the most "disliked" spots.

Raxaul (Bihar-Nepali border) has got to be one of the most depressing spots imaginable. Amazing the logic - instead of saying "everyone has to come through here, why don't we make it nice and they might stay a day or two? after all they're tired from all the travel," the logic is "everyone only spends one night here so who cares if it's crappy." Yeah, that's WHY they only spend one night! Another missed opportunity.
