N. India Itinerary Help

We are flying to India this week and putting our trip together pretty last minute. We have 19 days to spend in India and are flying in and out of Delhi. We have the first two nights booked in Delhi.

Our plan is to go: Delhi - Manali - Amritsar - Jaisalmer - Jodhpur - Udaipur -Agra - Delhi. Does this circuit make sense? Can we get to Manali and Amritsar in late November? Are there busses and trains that link those cities pretty well in that order? Anything we should add or cut out?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

In my view, it should be like this:

Delhi > Amritsar(by train)
Amritsar > Manali(by volvo bus)
Manali > Ambala(by volvo- its a junction for trains)
Ambala > Jodhpur(by train)
Jodhpur > Jaisalmer (by train)
Jaisalmer > jodhpur back(by train)
Jodhpur > Udaipur (by bus)
Udaipur > Agra(by train)
Agra > Delhi(train)

Though it can be done, but you will be so tired at last. So avoid any of 1 place, if you can. Otherwise, carry on. :)

I really would strongly suggest you to go to less places but stay longer, you will get a much better picture of India by just sitting and looking. Each 8-10 hour bus or train journey is exhausting and you will loose days by travelling as far a you intend. I would suggest Manali, Amritsar, Delhi, Agra, Udaipur, Jaiselmer, Jodpur, Delhi, but you will be travelling about 6 days to cover this. Have a great time, we are.

Thanks! We may now spend some extra time up north based on the suggestion of a good friend (Jari & Dharmsala). Even though it's probably going against the 10-commandments of traveling, we may skip Agra. If we could only choose one city out of: Jodhpur, Udaipur, & Jaislamer - which should it be?
