Help with 3-Week Karala/Goa/Mumbai Itinerary Please ...
Hi there!
I am planning a 2 month trip around India. I think I have anything settled on deciding the majority of my itinerary however after a lot of research I am sure unsure about the 3 weeks at the end of my trip that I have devoted to Karala/Goa/Mumbai.
Here is how it looks now:
TRIVANDRUM/KOVALAM - 1 day
VARKALA - 1 day
KOLLAM - ALLEPPEY - 2 days (on houseboat)
MUNNAR - 3 days
KOCHI - 3 days
CALICUT - 1 day
GOA - 5 days
AURANGABAD - 2 days
MUMBAI - 4 days
How does this look? Am I missing anything major? I decided to cut out Wayanad & Bangalore & Hampi due to time constraints and also because everything is so spread out.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. For this leg of the trip, we are obviously interested in the Backwaters (is the Kollam to Alleppey houseboat enough?), beaches, nature (hill station in Munnar) and we wanted to leave some time to see ...

Kerala Itinerary
Hi all,
going to Kerala again next year in January.
Last time, stayed in Kochi and made trips to Munnar, Cherrai Beach, backwaters (just for a day trip) and around the old town.
We are calling in there for about 8 days again and are looking for suggestions what to do.
We have thought about National Parks for a couple of days, houseboat for a couple of days, etc. We fly out of Kochi but we are flexible and can fly into TRV or Kochi. We will have spent some time in beach resorts in Sri Lanka before arrival so we are not necessarily looking for a relax on the beach but would like to see new things.
Looking forward to reading your suggestions.
Cheers
Greg

Guide in Varanasi
Hello,
I am going to Varanasi on october and I would like to know if someone have any idea of how can I find a guide to stay with me there and know well the place and the culture.
I am a photographer and I will have to find a guide who stays with us all day. Somes times wake up until sun rises, somes times stay with us late at night, and also take us to places that not normal tourists usually go.
Thank you.
Rodrigo

Transit visa for India?
Hello,
I'm taking two separate flights with two separate airlines as follows:
1. Kathmandu, Nepal to Delhi
2. Delhi to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
Assuming that these flights are within 48 hours or closer, do I need an Indian transit visa? I'm American, if that matters.
Thanks,
Kevin
