That’s where I am going next.

My trip starts on November 24, 2006. The weather should be pleasant at this time of the year in Delhi. At this point, I am trying my best to be ready for this journey to the roots. Packing seems too easy, I must be forgetting something crucial, something I’ll probably find out i forgot when I’m too far to come back for it.

Trying to carefully take advice from travelers guides such as lonelyplanet.com or routard.com, I got myself some bug spray, hand sanitizers, flash light etc… aside from my usual load of camera equipment, I should be ready. I think. No matter what though, even after all the reading and research on the internet, in books, it doesn’t seem quite enough to know all about India. I’m certain that there is no such thing as “India at a glance”. We shall see what this land beyond any imagination can bring.

Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, are the primary cities in my itinerary. I would also like to visit Varanasi (formerly known as Benarès)at dawn, visit the Ganges Ghats (river banks) and Lucknow, at the peak of festivities (between November 25 and December 5), but the circumstances will determine whether i get to do all i want or not.

I Booked some hostels through hihostels.com, by far the best deal and easy booking that i’ve found, looking around – a $35 CAD. Membership can get you a room for $2 -$7 for instance in New Delhi.

My experience with the India Rail website has convinced me that it is probably wiser and easier on the brain to book the trains once I get there.

For now stay tuned for photos and more stories…

Namaste.
