| Are we trying to do to much? We arrive in Dehli on the 21st March and join a gap adventures tour on the 23rd which finishes in Goa (not entirely sure where in Goa) on the 6th April. Our plan i then to spend a few more days chilling out in Goa, then get on a train to Calcutta and then back to Dehli. Our flight out of Delhi is on the 24th April. Does this itinerary sound a bit too ambitious? Any opinions would be welcome. Thanks |

| Goa - calcutta - Delhi Those are pretty far distances, i guess it depends on how long you're actually staying in Goa. Maybe take a flight from Calcutta to Delhi to save time. I myself would take the train to Mumbai from Goa and then fly to Delhi from there, instead of going to Calcutta |

| Any specific reason to go to Calcutta? Else my friend Goo is right, skip it. Goa to Calcutta and Calcutta to Delhi takes looooong time  . Mumbai is an option, or spend more time in Delhi, maybe short visit to the Taj in Agra. |

| Thanks for all your replies. I really do want to go to Calcutta. In my teenage pagan days, I had quite a fansination with Kali and since have always wanted to visit a Kali temple in Calcutta. Any idea on how much flights would cost? Thanks |

| Goa - Calcutta by train. Sounds simple, but could drive you stir crazy. Take the plane. |

| You have a month plus ,that should be OK .If you have the cash ,a plane from Goa to Calcutta is fine and will give you lots of time , but also the train in an option and it can be an enjoyable one (if a little long ) and as you are interested in Kali it is to good an opportunity to miss .As well as Kali ghat there is the Dakshineswar Kali temple which is a must .Enjoy

| For goa to kolkata - an optimum option would be a train from goa to mumbai and a fight from mumbai to kolkata. |

| I was just buying some tickets and came across a site where they are offering air tickets for most airlines at Re 1. Add taxes of around 2900 Rs to that. That's the cheapest airfare as of now I feel. www.travelchacha.com - a new website on the blocks btw I have booked my ticket directly from flykingfisher.com to add to my king miles ,not from travelchacha.com , but the prices mentioned were same in kingfisher site also. |
