Sketchy plans

Category: India, 2007
Actually the journey starts in Moscow. Here will make a little stop for about 20 hours before continuing to Delhi (cheap air tickets always has a price, haha).
After arriving to Delhi, the plan is to visit some of the cities in Rajasthan. Ordered chronologicaly these will be Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodphur and then Jaipur.
Thereafter the India adventure continues with a visit in Agra with on of the world's most famous buildings can be found: the Taj Mahal. Then we plan to visit Khajuraho, Varanasi, Lucknow and then back to Delhi.
When in Varanasi we will maybe head up in the mountains to Darjeeling close to the Nepal border. The chances for this is quite small though, I don't think we will have time.

Let the adventure begin!

Update:
Well, we did some changes. Here's the final route: New Delhi, Jaisalmer, Jaipur, Agra, Lucknow, Varanasi and back to Delhi.

Here we are on our way to the rat temple. We are travelling through the desert in an autoriksha.

Reasons why not to make this journey with an autoriksha:
- Shaky (very bad roads, watch your head in the riksha, it might bump into the roof)
- High sound levels (apart from the motor noise our driver played Indian disco music. The music was good, but loud :)
- 10 times more expensive than a local bus.
