Re: [silk] Travel advice for a visitor to India

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

One thing is - seeing the forts and such in each of those Rajasthani cities 
won’t take more than a day or so each, but there’s travel fatigue to deal with. 
 And they aren’t far from each other. Spend the first ten days doing that plus 
Delhi.  

Or on the principle of one fort is just like the other, cut out most of the 
Rajasthani cities and stick to Udaipur - which has the nicest hotels - after 
Delhi and Agra.

Varanasi is a long detour to an extremely filthy (though admittedly culture 
rich) city.  Not entirely sure it’s going to suit your American older couple 
friends.  Skip it by all means.

Factor in rest days. So Delhi Agra Udaipur is the first week gone.  Or just 
Agra and Udaipur, forget Delhi except as a rest day.

And do they really want to see Mumbai (or even Goa) during the monsoon?
