Considering my holiday options for next year...Has anyone been to India backpacking or not in a tour group? I'm looking at doing the northern part of India, think Mumbai would be the lowest i would go as i only have 2 weeks.
What would you recommend i see?
Thanks!
Agra, japour, New Delhi, Gwalior, Jhansi. I also went to Cawnpore, now Kanpur, and Lucknow as I was interested in sites where the Indian mutiny happened.
Uttar Pradesh mostly. I hired a car and driver. He slept in the car. The further south I went the less English was understood.
If you go to Bhutan, make sure you get all of the necessary visas etc before you set off from the UK. It`s not an easy place to just turn up in (in fact I`m not sure you can just turn up there)
Have you thought about Sri Lanka? That is a really easy country to just turn up in and find your way around. Unlike India, you can see the whole place in two weeks
