It sounds like a random # of days thrown at all of these destinations....you have no idea whether you will like these places or not anyway so what's the point of making such an itinerary? Why 4 days in Mumbai and not 5? Why 4 days in Udaipur and not 3 Etc. etc. PS McLOUD GANJ...Love it!

i agree with nijerk. and the fact that he(?) loves mcleod but hates pushkar and jaisalmer for being tourist traps shows that it all boils down to personal taste, regardless of how touristy it is... although the tourists at mcleod are more tolerable than the eurotrash hippies at pushkar. i never had anything against hippies until i went to india..

if you're mostly traveling by train, then you can adapt as you go. the only time you'd need to be specific with dates is if you get a flight.

It was a remark about the spelling of"McCLOUD"...! Yes, McLeod ganj is another tourist trap..

Ps " euro trash hippies" in Pushkar? Seemed to be almost all Israelis when I was last there..

Amritsar needs just a day or two ... if you are planning to add a visit to the Wagah Border for the ceremony that happens just before sunset everyday.
Otherwise there is just the Golden Temple and the Jalian Wala Bagh to see.

Will be worth it to squeeze in Jodhpur in your Rajasthan trip since you'll be visiting places close to that. Cut out days allotted for Jaipur and Udaipur.

yes... lots of israelis too, who are lovely people but for some reason go feral overseas

(enough to get a taste for the city but not enough to see everything).

(2 days too many).

(2 days too many)

(1 day too many)

(2 days too many)

(1 day too many - unless you to to Ranakpur for the Jain Temple)

(haven't been there but have not heard good things about this place)

(3 days too many - there are better places to spend your time)

(2 days too many)

(enough time to see the highlights)

(enough time - as far as Holi goes, try to avoid being around drunk men)

You haven't mentioned Ajanta /Ellora /Hampi, which are all en-route from Mumbai => Goa. All are worth visiting. I'd put your extra time into visiting these locations. Ajanta /Ellora can be seen one day for each and Hampi at least 2 days.

GOA (9 days - don't know specific places yet)
(never been there, but from all accounts, it's very much a place you either like or you hate).
