Delhi, Amristar, Agra, Udaipur, Mumbai- August 2012
Hoping for some general advice on what to do while on my trip after I volunteer for a month in Madurai. We realize that our itinerary is some what strage as we travel everyday, yes I know that it is good to stay in one place but we just want to see these places, in case we never make it back to India.
Our Itinerary:
Saturday: Fly to Delhi
Sunday: Delhi/Train Overnight to Amritrsar
Monday: Amritsar/Train Overnight to Delhi
Tuesday: Delhi
Wednesday: Agra/Train Overnight to Udaipur
Thursday: Udaipur/Flight to Mumbai
Friday: Mumbai
Saturday: Home
Any suggestions on what to see within a day, what to eat, where to sleep when not on trains etc.
Is it a bad idea to do so many overnight trains??
Cheers!

You can increase a day in Udaipur by taking a train from Amritsar to Agra.
If you do spend a night in Udaipur, check out Mewar Haveli.
In Delhi you can check out Cottage Yes Please

Welcome, Canadian!!
if your friend is fussy about toilets, the overnight (or any) train toilet is going to be a challenge, even the Western style ones are disgusting, usually the floor is flooded by people who easily miss the toilet while the train is moving.
I can recco some places in New Del (including ones with great bathrooms (-: but what is your budget/night ?
I love Amritsar. Good choice!!
Snce you asked, IMHO three overnight trains is two too many.
I recently took the overnight Punjab train from ( Ludhiana to jaipur) which is the one you'll have from Amritsar to Del. I was in one of the first class compartments ( 4 beds--configured as two bunk beds) and we 4 humans were joined by a mouse. Inevitable, due to everyone eating on the train. Not so bad...the Ludhiana RR Station had rats running around the stationmaster's office and no one even looked twice. Just be prepared.
