Umm, too little time at Hampi. I would suggest at least 2 full days.

And Mysore is unclear to me, you have kept a few hours to see the palace, at least ?

Hey there, your Itinerary looks great,are you aware there are
going to be flights Goa to Cochin & Goa to Trivandrum,Kingfisher
Airlines starting soon, mind you the train is not too bad either.

Happy travelling, Kerala time is OK, you'll love it,Its my
favourite spot in sth india,so much too see.

To cover the stretch between Mysore and Hampi in that speed, you will need a private jet or Helicopter. You need to keep 'at least' 7 days for this part of the itinerary.

Varkala is good for its beach and its yoga, but if you are already spending time in Goa and at a yoga ashram, then you could miss it.

Lord Average · Nov 2nd, 2007, 19:17

Also as a bit of a Mysore fan I would say spend more time here (theres a great day trip you can do that takes in a Jain statue, great bird sanctuary and the hill at the back), let alone the joys spent wandering the markets, buying silk and checking out some of the best pure veg restaraunts in India.

But there again you could fly Bangalore to Belur and miss out Mysore as this will give you more time at Hampi..... choices choices.

Thanks this is very good to know I though they were closer as per the map. Cool. I think I might cut Puttaparthi shorter and spend moremtime at Myshore and Hampi.

Thanks all of you

I would! Read both our 2005 and 1997 journals.

Have fun,

Try out Pondicherry......Aurobindo's ashram is meditative. Plus pondicherry has the flavour of a small french town and the two hours drive from Chennai is amazing. Let me know if you want me to drive you down. I am working in chennai and weekends are free for me.

Yasoo !

joyinbirthing · Nov 8th, 2007, 19:32

take a little bit of Brazilian Coffee beans, some Swiss milk, teaspoon of freshly ground Cuban sugar, steam it the Italian way and serve it in a Maltan Cup. Thats me !!

purple joy that's a funny description of your self....quite poetic!
Thanks for the tip I am definitely visiting auroville while in Chennai

Nick-H · Nov 8th, 2007, 19:41

Ha! Time for a whole new thread... Is it safe for women travelling alone to accept weekends away with poetic strange men?

How ever kindly-meant the offer, I think you need to know more about them than their taste in coffee.

purplejoy1975, Welcome to IM! Perhaps we will get to know more about you!

purplejoy1975 · Nov 8th, 2007, 20:04

Grumpy,

Good that you butted in. I wish someone had given me that offer when i wandered all alone in the mediterranean and the aegean. Well, one Greek lady did drive me down to Kamari beach on Fira, Santorini. I picked up some poems and a good friend on the way.

Let the lady decide on her own. Your caution would obviously stay.

Yasoo !

capt_mahajan · Nov 8th, 2007, 20:07

I really need to wake up and smell the coffee

Nick-H · Nov 8th, 2007, 20:25

It will stay. So will the site policy that this is not a dating or pick-up site, so I'm afraid that we have acted accordingly.

joyinbirthing · Nov 8th, 2007, 20:42

Hey Nick thank you so much for looking out for the girls. I was certainly not going to take this one or anyone one on their offer. I was publicly musing at the profile really. BTW I have received a few funny offers sent through my website. All good material for my stand up on my travels in India.

But truly I appreciate your being the moderator here!
