Delhi Next Week - What to do?

benmc · Oct 22nd, 2007, 19:39

Hi All

I am visiting Delhi/India for the 1st time next week. I will be working in Noida for 2 days and then I have from Tuesday evening (30th) until Sunday evening (4th) free. So my wife will be flying over with me and we are looking for recommendations for what to do.

Basically we want to see as much as we can and we are thinking of taking the train a few places to get around.

We would like to see the following
Sights of Delhi
Agra/Taj - 1 day
Varanasi - Overnight train - I would love to see the Ganges etc
Udaipur - Lake Palace etc

Any thoughts and feedback?

Regards
Ben

Hi benmc from Slough! Ahh Slough, I remember you well. I grew up in Uxbridge, don't you know.

Annyhoo, I really don't think you can make Varanasi and Udaipur this time. Sorry.

Delhi - Agra - Jaipur - Delhi would be possible. Or 1 night Agra - overnight to Varanasi - 2 nights Varanasi - overnight back to Delhi, maybe.

If you'd really like to see the Ganges (I know how that feels, I was just the same) you might like to head up to Haridwar and Rishikesh instead of Varanasi. They're much nearer to Delhi.

You might want to get your skates on with the train bookings though.
