Where are we going?

Map of India

That's the second most popular question we get! Don't know if you'll be able to see much on this map... We have some fun plans for visually showing you where we are, but we'll keep those secret - until we figure it our ourselves!

First off, our itinerary is fairly loose. The point is that we don't want to get caught up in he hustle-bustle of a strict schedule. If we love a place, we'll stay a few extra days. If we don't, we'll book the next train out! With that in mind, here's the rough outline:

New Delhi: land, stay a couple of days to settle & get over jetlag
Rajasthan: 3 weeks, give or take, visiting Jaipur, Pushkar, Shakawati, perhaps Udaipur and (if I can talk Amberly into it) Jaisalmer near the Pakistan border.
Agra: a day or two to see the Taj Mahal and get out.
Orccha: a nice-sounding place to chill for a bit.
Khajuraho: erotic temples, here we come!
Varanasi: the holy city on the Ganges
Bodhgaya: site of Buddha's enlightenment
Darjeeling: tea, anyone?
Sikkim: for a little trekking in the mountains
(fly back to Delhi and make our way to)
Srinigar: a little houseboat action in a forbidden land
McCloud Ganj: to get patted on the head by the Dalai Lama and hopefully find the secret Passover Seder...

As I said, a rough sketch. We'll see what gets cut or added on as we go!
