2 Months in India. Enough time for Tamil Nadu?

Hi there,

I am flying to India for 2 months in January. I want to definitely visit Kerala, goa, Mumbai, Delhi, golden triangle and Rajasthan. I would also like to do a week long ashram. Do I also have time to visit Tamil Nadu? I am trying to work out where to fly into. Either Chennai or kochin.

I think I am going to be pushed for time and worry that also adding Tamil Nadu will be a step too far.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated

Well, unless you are scheduling time in Tamil Nadu, there is no point in flying into Chennai.

The problem is you have (for the most part) listed a bunch of States, not destinations. How long do you plan to spend in any of these? How fast do you like to travel?

If you want a rough rule of thumb, 3 nights everywhere.

Week 1: Fort Cochin - Munnar - Alleppey

Week 2: Goa (?)

Week 3: Mumbai, Udaipur

Week 4: Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and to Jaipur

Week 5: Jaipur, Agra, Mathura/Vrindavan

Week 6: Delhi and to Rishikesh

Week 7: Ashram week

Week 8: ...

So - if that was your schedule then you've ticked the boxes with a week to spare. Put that week at the beginning of your itinerary and you have time for Tamil Nadu. But again, I'm guessing where you want to go and how long for. You need to take the guesswork out of your equation.
