Looks ok to me, though I'm not sure why you're restricting your sightseeing at Manali on 3rd Aug to 5-9 pm.

The stations are Addresses in themselves, if you think knowing the address and saying "house number 142 , such and such lane etc etc" is going to be easier than saying Shimla/Delhi railway station then no.

Sheesh, dude! This isn't exactly Europe or N. America, as puchoo hinted.

What is relevant for your itinerary though is:

NDLS - New Delhi RS
DLI - Old Delhi RS
NZM - Nizamuddin (South-central Delhi)
AGC - Agra Cantonment

hi dominic

hope the rain has stopped

Good Job Dilliwala !!

Still to be more precise Captain Dom:

New Delhi RS : Connaught Place (CP)
Old Delhi RS : Old Delhi, opposite Red Fort.
Nizamuddin RS: The name suggests: Nizamuddin. South-Central Delhi
Agra Cantontment: Just go by the name.

If you are hiring a taxi or an auto rickshaw, all you need to tell the driver is to take you to the railway station. But do specify New Delhi or Old Delhi or Nizamuddin whatsoever.

Happy Travelling

Cheers!!!

Tom,
We are enjoying whatever we can in India. Even the rains. We had a wonderful time in Delhi, Agra, Simla and Manali. The drive in Manali (Rohtang Pass) was really awsome, hairpin bends and beautiful scenery. It was kind of risky driving through the wet roads.

puchoo

Glad to hear that its all going well!!
