Im back to tread the boards at last !!!!!!

AK74 · Oct 15th, 2009, 04:48

Im coming back after my last trip in 2005 -6

I really need to know if my time schedules are realistic and i know that i will get the truth on this site ????

I will be flying in to Delhi on 15th feb 2010 and leaving from Delhi again on 8th Mar 2010 and need to know if i can fit in a camel trek in Jaisalmer and also a week on the beach in Goa ?

I plan to do all my travelling by train 2nd class sleeper if possible because last time this was such a great way to travel ! You get to seee the real India this way i thought

It would be nice not to rush the trip and i was planning to allocate at least 5 -6 days for train travel alone ! I do not wish to stay anywhere in between unless there is time to do it as i saw everywhere from Delhi to Kanuyakumari on my last 4 month trip in 2006 and missed out my camel trek because my then partner did not want to do it

This time i will be travelling alone

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated because as i know from numerous posts i have already read you may think you know it all from your last visit but India is a country that i will never fully understand and never fully be able to navigate with ease because lets be serious here its not as if im just popping down to London for a short weekend break !!!!

21 days for a Rajasthan camel trek and a week in goa. I would say it is doable quite easily, even with all train travel.

Maybe even add a 4 day trip to Hampi (unless you visited on your last trip)

Thanks captain but you hear so many times that there is not enough days to do these things.
I am currently planning my trip in days and the route i should take !
Hampi was done last time and what a place it was !!! We Hired a bike and went all over and also had the best thali ever here so can miss this out this time !
Can you suggest any other places that may be of interest along the way !

Last time we did hospet hampi mysore bangalore ????????

Any suggestions welcome and i seem to remember a crazy trip to the hanumaan temple and rowing across the river in a coracle but even though i had paid did all the rowing myself and then were followed by the most strange saddhu or may have been a begger all the way up to the top and then there were the monkeys! wow those monkeys arent to be messed with

Have you considered Gujurat Ak74,Have heard its pretty good.

And yes, from previous posts that I have read over time,Israelis
DO have a poor reputation in India for their Boorish Behaviour.
However in saying this I am sure there are a few Decent ones around who respect the local culture & customs.
