Spent the whole afternoon planning my itinerary for my trip to Delhi, India next month. Will be there to present my abstract at a medical conference and will use the extra days there to travel around. Using my Lonely Planet guidebook and this absolutely fantastic forum, India Travel Forum, I have finally managed to sort out my accommodation in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur (the Golden Triangle cities).
Also managed to buy all my train tickets (Delhi-Agra, Agra-Jaipur, Jaipur-Delhi) online, which are e-tickets. Thanks again to the helpful India Travel Forum, where every question you could possible ask has been asked before and answered by people who have been there and know their 2 Rupees worth.
I could have saved myself all the trouble by using a tour package which covers Agra and Jaipur from Delhi, but the tour packages were pretty expensive (about 250 pounds), and it's much more fun to plan the trip oneself.
Am excited about my trip but also slightly scared at the same time. It will be my first trip to India, and I am going alone. It will definitely be an enriching experience for me. I just hope it all goes well.
