India itinerary and travelling about advice needed
Hi there!So I'm traveling to India next year, I'm currently trying to rough out a few places to visit, and the best way to get between them. I have about a month in India. Advice on the itinerary, or the best way to get between any of these places (buses, overnight trains, reg trains, flights, etc. ) would be much appreciated.
My current plan is Delhi - Jaipur - Jodpur - Agra - Khajuraho - Udaiper (this is one of the things I'm looking for help with... I've heard I should end in Agra to catch the overnight train to Jalgoan; or is there a better route?)
then Ajanta/Ellora - Hampi - possibly the beach in Goa for a day or two - Mumbai.
Let me know if you have any advice. Thanks!

If you are planning to travel from Delhi to Jaipur and Agra. Bus would be the better option because you can get more about India while travelling via road. You can book Bus Tickets in advance through websites. All the best for your trip.7
This is one heck of an itinerray..it'll be pretty hecticYou can do the following:
Delhi -> Jodhpur -> Udaipur -> Jaipur (they are all in Rajasthan & separated by overnight bus/train journey
Jaipur -> agra (250 kms by road; approx 5 hrs by Bus)
Agra -> Khajuraho (better take a train; there are two trains one in the morning and another around 11pm..travel time is 7.5 hrs check www.indianrail.gov.in ; else take a train from Agra to Jhansi (3 hrs away & plenty of trains) & move forward by bus - 4-4.5 hrs journey
For Ajanta Ellora you need to go to Aurangabad..Hampi will be a bit out of the way..
