I had a very big plan like yours when I went to India, but it was shattered in the first two weeks... It's not a bad thing though. India, the people you meet (especially because you're travelling alone) and local events will direct your trip, rather than your plan. Constantly travelling in India is very tiring and I found myself staying in cities for quite a while when I found one I liked, it was my favourite part of the trip because I got to build this temporary life for myself with friends etc. It also gives you a chance to learn more about the culture and really hang out with locals.

I just posted a few tips on travelling alone to India in another thread - http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?messageID=16843031#16843031

Good luck on your adventure. India is an incredible place.

Thanks everyone. That is all really helpful and encouraging. Good luck on your future adventures too.

"Do you have any tips for travelling alone?"...

Thanks so much for that, I should have used forums before India. Kep looks beautiful. I tried riding a moped in Goa and failed miserably.

Thanks, that is good news. Any suggestions about places to go in Cambodia?

Hi All,...
