Anyone going next saturday from Heathrow to Delhi ???

As I'm travelling alone from London/Heathrow to Delhi would be fine to meet other Indiamikers

Cheers

Jorge

Hi Freemanx,

I'll stay only 23 days in India (for me is even a long journey as normally cannot stay longer than 15/20 days).

My journey is: Delhi - Orchha - Bhopal - Mandu - Maheshwar - Omkareshwar -
Dhar - Ujjain - Bundi - Delhi.

Travelling most of the time by train and few days between Mandu - Omkareshwar - Maheshwar - Ujjain with car and driver because there are no train available or the timetables are useless.

Jorge a wee tip, don't as we did, fly through Maheshwar it's an enchanting little place worthy of a day or two!
And if you find yourself in Indore at any point make sure you check out the Guru Kripak restaurant opposite the bus station!
I've travelled this route only a few months ago so let me know if you need any info!!

Other than that

Happy Traveling my man

Jorge,

in orcha, if you go down to the river and a bit further, you reach some chhatris (LP page 695, Nr.21 on the map). you can climb up some of them, there are steps inside to the top. from there you have an excellent view and you can watch huge vultures and nice green parrots sitting at the top of the chhatris.
was sitting there for hours
