Hi all, help needed for last minute planning for India trip. Here's two rough itinenaries I came up with and would appreciate your thoughts:
23rd Dec - arrive Delbi close to midnight
24th Dec- delhi
25th Dec - take express train in am or if cannot get ticket, find transport to Agra
Overnight at Agra.
26th Dec - fly to Jaipur early morning again
27th Dec- Stay in Jaipur for two days
28th Dec - From Jaipur take flight to Jaisalmer
29th Dec - One and a half days at Jaisalmer
30th Dec - rent car n driver from Jaisalmer to Jodphur
31st Dec-
1st Jan - From Jodphur drive to Udaipur
2nd Jan - Udaipur
3rd - flight back to Delhi
My questions are:
1. Is the above too ambitious? Should I give up Jodphur? The alternative is to leave for Agra the morning immediately after my flight to Delhi. It will be very tiring but at least I arrive in Delbi two days before my flight back, giving me buffer in case of delays etc. Would greatly appreciate any thoughts that any experienced India travellers would have.
2.Would anyone have good recommendations for honest, reliable,competent and reasonably priced drivers. I wrote to three companies and got such diverse pricing for the same car - one quoted about USD 230 per day for a Toyota Innova and another quoted about USD 117 for the same car (in both cases, all in). Would appreciate a sense of what prices are?
3. Does anyone have any comments on the mode of transportation? I am choosing to fly because of time constraints but for Jaslmer - Jodhpur - Udaipur leg, I am given to understanding that it is a scenic route and should be taken on the road.
I am very excited but also kinda stressed
Thank you all in advance for any of your advice or suggestions. I am very excited but am also rather stressed ...realised now that planning for India trip is not easy.
