How many days would I need for this itinerary?

Hangianix · Jan 12th, 2007, 23:42

I made a very unhealthy (fast paced) itinerary, which I wont post as dont want to cause heart attack to some of the India experts. However I would like to ask your comments about the next itinerary. (Should I change the order, or skip some city for other one, how many days should I spend at each location, etc).

1. Delhi
2. Varanasi
3. Khajuraho (via Satna)
4. Orchha
5. Gwalior
6. Agra
7. Fatehpur Sikri
8. Jaipur
9. Jodhpur
10. Udaipur
11. Ajanta (via Ahmedabad and Jalgaon)
12. Ellora
13. Bombay (via Arungabad)
14. Goa (undecided which beach)
15. Hampi (from Goa and back)
16. Delhi (for the backfight)

Plus info:
I would like to use plane only once, from Goa to Delhi back, for other transport I prefer night trains whenever it is possible. I dont ask the nr/name of the trains, just your thoughts about it and how many days would I need if I travel in a healthy (but not too slow) pace.

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Well, here is our planned itinerary for 23 days we prolly have for the trip. I mostly (or only) put major tourist destinations in it I guess, but without personal experience we are interested in these things.

Day 00 - Arriving to Delhi Airport 23:15
Day 01 - Delhi
Day 02 - Delhi
Night train to Varanasi: 2560 SHIV GANGA EXP 18:30-07:30
Day 03 - Varanasi
Day 04 - Varanasi
Night train to Satna: 6360 RJPB ERS EXPRES or 2144 DIKSHABHUMI EXP or 7092 RJPB SC EXPRESS 20:50/21:10-03:40 (depends on the day)
Day 05 - Khajuraho
Morning bus from Satna (arriving around noon)
Day 06 - Khajuraho/Raneh Falls&Ken Gharial Sanctuary
Day 07 - Orchha
Morning bus from Khajuraho (arriving around noon)
Day 08 - Gwalior
Morning train from Jhansi: 1108 BUNDELKHAND EXP 06:20-08:15
Afternoon train to Agra: 2988 GWL JP INTRCITY 15:45-17:40
Day 09 - Agra
Day 10 - Fatehpur Sikri
Morning bus from Agra
Afternoon bus to Jaipur
Day 11 - Jaipur
Train to Jodhpur (the IC around 17h or the one which start after 23h)
Day 12 - Jodhpur
Afternoon bus to Udaipur
Day 13 - Udaipur
Day 14 - Udaipur
Afternoon bus to Ahmedabad
Night train to Jalgaon: 2833 HOWRAH EXPRESS 23:45-10:53
Day 15 - Ajanta
Day 16 - Ellora
Night train to Mumbai (Aurangabad) 7058 DEVAGIRI EXP 23:30-07:25
Day 17 - Mumbai
Night train to Karmali: 0111 KONKAN KANYA EX 23:00-09:48
Day 18 - Goa
Day 19 - Goa
Day 20 - Goa
Night bus to Hampi
Day 21 - Hampi
Night bus to Goa
Day 22 - Goa
Day 23 - Goa
Afternoon flight to Delhi
Day 24 - Leaving Delhi at 02:25

My concerns are (apart from having a hell packed itinerary):
- Jodhpur-Udaipur bus trip
- Udaipur-Jalgaon (via Ahmedabad)
- Starting in Delhi (maybe an option to check Agra and Fatehpur Sikri after landing and go to Varanasi from Agra, but it seemed to me the train service is restricted to certain days).
