India

Hi everybody,

I am planning to go to Delhi next September. I was planning on visiting the usual places (such as Jaipur, Agra, Udaipur, and Sariska) and I was wondering if anyone could help me in suggesting a reliable tour operator with which I could book such a tour.

I would also appreciate if someone could let me know if it would be better just to rent a car with a driver, or if that would be too risky given that I am going to be travelling around in India for the 1st time (just me and my wife)…

Hello,

I am about to buy a backpack for my trip to India for 5 months so I want a good backpack. I will be leaving at the end of march so will hit the monsoons!!! I was thinking of getting the karrimor 50 or 70 which can extend to give you an extra 20l. I thought this would be perfect for my trip.

Hi, I'm leaving to go travelling on my own for the first time next Monday. I'm 19 and female, and will be starting in Thailand, going overland to Singapore, then spending 10 days in Sri Lanka before flying to Mumbai. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help!

I'm a bit wary of getting the train there so was thinking maybe booking an internal flight would be a good idea - does anyone…

has anyone stayed at this hotel? especially in end of may?

and I'm trying to track down a copy of a traditional Kashmiri folk song. I don't know the name but the main words are Kashmir... Kashmir...

It was played on a promotional video on telly and I also saw a quartet playing it live - must be one of the best known Kashmiri songs.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they had used: indianvisaheadoffice.co.uk to apply for their visas. It allows you to get your visa within 3-5 working days which is essential to me, I normally would apply to the Indian Embassy but that takes up to 6 weeks I beleive!

Or does anyone know where I can get a tourist visa within 2 - 3 weeks?

Thanks
