India from 1st March for 9 weeks

dreamer · Feb 3rd, 2006, 22:31

Hi everyone

I am arriving in Dehli on 1st March and was planning to head to Agra a few days later and probably stay overnight. Anyone else got similar plans? Feeling a little nervous

After that I was planning to travel around some of Rajasthan, Amritsar and then into Himachal Pradesh. Looking for a scenic and relaxing time. Maybe also go onto Rishikesh to do some yoga or meditation then up to Kashmir to visit friends.

Anyone out there at the same time who would like to meet up

Thanks
Sarah

I'm just over in Jaipur. I'm working at an orphanage there, traveling on weekends. I've already done the Agra thing sorry. But...Any interest in a camel ride in the Thar Desert? Or maybe to Pushkar for the sin-purifying lake? Or possibly (if my money holds up) Daramsala with it's Tibetan refugees? At some point I'm going but as of yet it looks like I have to pay for my company (people I work with can't afford to go)... So, if you're interested let me know. -Riah

Hi Riah

Thanks for the reply.

I would be interested in the work you are doing at the orphanage if you can give me any more details, and I am definately planning to head up to Daramsala. I had also hoped to maybe do some work with the Tibetan refugees... Looks like we are on the same wavelength

Not sure I fancy the camel ride though - maybe just for a few hours...

Pushkar is also on my list. I will know more about dates and things in the next few weeks when I actually get there!

Anyway hope we can meet up - keep in touch

Hi Avi

Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like we will be there around the same time so it would be good to meet up, thanks.

I will get in touch nearer the time

Cheers
Sarah

I'm going to be in Delhi in early March and from the photos of a typical street it looks a bit overwhelming! Would rather meet up with a M or F. Please get back and let me know where you'll be and if we can meet up.

Cheers.

HeyJesss

Looks like there may be a few of us in Dehli early March ( I'll be there from 2nd for a few days). Hopefully we can all meet up. Anyone booked a Hotel yet or got any recommendations? Nice and clean please with hot water and a shower

Sarah

HeyJesss · Feb 6th, 2006, 20:19

I've only booked something for Mumbai - where I'm landing. I was really expecting to just wing the rest. I've got about a week eleft before I leave which gives me some time to book for other locations (if thats what we shoudl do) but I'd need to know ASAP - lol. Dreamer I'm guessing that you're landing in Delhi from home?

crikey - that one looks fab - well posh. by your comment that you weren't too fussy thought you had booked a grubby little place

I think I have seen Hotel Sheela in Agra recommended as well.

Will only be happy when I have booked and been collected by taxi and arrived safely in a clean friendly hotel ! (without any hassle on the way...)

mind you would that be India then?

stake501 · Feb 6th, 2006, 22:42

one room for 200rps, and two tropical diseases for free.....no thanks

us metrosexual males need a mirror to do our hair as well

..... (although I am going to shave mine before I go....i dont fancy any lodgers in my hair over the trip)

my cousin booked all my train/plane and accommod (except agra) so I cant take any credit or abuse for any good or bad hotels etc...except when we are on safari at corbett....

we have jungle lodges there with god only knows what flatmates of the eight legged, reptile, and winged variety....

i think a nice kulfi parlour for the meetup...cant go wrong with ice cream and conversation

dreamer · Feb 7th, 2006, 15:59

Hiya

I am arriving on 2nd and I think HeyJesss is too. Have seem Delhi before so don't want to spend too long there but could probably hang on til the 5th. If not maybe we could all meet in Agra on 6th?
Any thoughts?

Everyone welcome

My next stops are Jaipur, Pushkar, Udaipur and the rest of Rajasthan - though ask me tomorrow and it will probably have changed!

Hi there

I think there will be a few of us in Dehli heading to Agra so no problem if you want to tag along rather than going alone. No fixed plans yet so watch this space.....

P.S. anyone know how many days in advance it is advisable to book tickets on the Shatabdi Express from Delhi to Agra at this time of year?

Thanks in advance for your help
