India In September

tdavy · Jul 7th, 2008, 19:37

Hello Guys,

I am travelling to India around mid-September for two weeks and I am wondering what parts I should visit. I am flying into Mumbai first and my plan from there was to go to Goa, then Kochi, and back up to Dehli/Agra before flying home from Mumbai.

However, as it is mid-September, I am wondering if it will still be monsoon season in Goa and Kochi and therefore I should avoid them. Would you recommend going somewhere else in India or should I stick to my plan?

Thanks for your help,

Tom

It will be monsoon pretty well everywhere in India except Tamil Nadu from June through September.

So far this year Kerala and Goa have been experiencing a relatively "dry" monsoon -- good from the tourist perspective, perhaps not so good from a water supply and farming perspective.

So if you can't change your travel dates and come a couple of months later, take your chances wherever you go, and enjoy!

Thanks for the info Jean-Philipe.

Do you approve of my travel plans? Or would you recommend a different route. I only have 2 weeks and have to spend a few days in Mumbai and a few in Goa.

After Goa I have about 7 days which I was going to spend between Kochi and Dehli/Agra. But this is optional and I am open to taking a different route. Obviously I would be taking a few internal flights.

Thanks again

Is this your first visit to India? It seems you are doing a lot of travelling in a fairly short period of time. If it were me, I would cut either Kochi or Delhi/Agra.

Yes, this is my first trip to India. Like I said, I have to go to Mumbai and Goa. I know trying to fit in Kochi and Agra is difficult but by flying it should cut down on travel times. I really only want to see the Taj Mahal in Agra so ill probably only stay one or two nights there and 3 or 4 in Kochi. Instad of Mumbai-Goa-Kochi-Agra-Mumbai, I might change it to Mumbai-Agra-Goa-Kochi-Mumbai.
