India - Jaipur, Pushkar, Agra, Delhi...help!!!
Hi guys,
next monday I'm leaving (together with my wife) for a first bite of India: Jaipur, Pushkar, Agra, (Gwalior?), Delhi. I've booked a driver and organized this kind of (generally speaking) tour: Feb 12: arrival late night, overnight in Delhi Feb 13: departure to Jaipur - tour of Jaipur, overnight in Jaipur Feb 14: daily trip to Pushkar (and Jansi? but the time is not enough, what do you think?), overnight in Jaipur Feb 15: tour of Jaipur, overnight in Jaipur Feb 16: departure to Agra, overnight in Agra Feb 17: daily trip to Fatephur Sikri, and then Barapthur (cycle ride in Keoladeo park?), overnight in Agra Feb 18: tour of Agra, and Akbar mausoleum (Sikandra), overnight in Agra FEb 19: departure to Delhi - tour of Delhi, overnight in Delhi Feb 20: tour of Delhi, flght late night I'm also thinking about a possible variation: Fatephur Sikri and Barapthur (the last one is something to see? A tour of the park of Keoladeo is nice, to you? Walk or cycle ride? I'm not a famous ornithologist, but maybe the landscape is very nice...) during the transfer from Jaipur to Agra, so that we'll have a free day for a daily trip to Gwalior (as usual, is it a good idea? What about Gwalior, is it nice? Or there is any other interesting place for a daily trip from Agra? Or the original plan is the better one, so that we'll have a more relaxing staying in Agra...) Can you give me any sort of tips? My wife, on the other hand, appeals to women for what concerns the virtuous subject "shopping"...any suggestion? Thanks, Francesco. |

Francesco, I personally think its an agressive schedule and I would recommend a comfortable stay in Agra. Bets bets for shopping in agra a Leather, Brass ware, Marble and Rugs. If you like to bargain you can bargain on these items on the small shops and make sure sure the quality is good with a visible and feel inspection of the product. Gwalior is a nice place, Don't miss the Gawlior Fort and Jai Vilas Palace.

India - Jaipur, Pushkar, Agra, Delhi...help!!!
In article . com, sisco
says... Feb 12: arrival late night, overnight in Delhi Feb 13: departure to Jaipur - tour of Jaipur, overnight in Jaipur Don't miss the Amber fort. Feb 14: daily trip to Pushkar (and Jansi? but the time is not enough, what do you think?), overnight in Jaipur Pushkar is nice and should be doable as a daytrip from Jaipur. Feb 15: tour of Jaipur, overnight in Jaipur Feb 16: departure to Agra, overnight in Agra You don't need one day to drive from Jaipur to Agra. On the way to Agra, make the stop in Fatephur Sikri (2-3 hours are enough). This way you save one day. Feb 17: daily trip to Fatephur Sikri, and then Barapthur (cycle ride in Keoladeo park?), overnight in Agra Feb 18: tour of Agra, and Akbar mausoleum (Sikandra), overnight in Agra FEb 19: departure to Delhi - tour of Delhi, overnight in Delhi Feb 20: tour of Delhi, flght late night I'm also thinking about a possible variation: Fatephur Sikri and Barapthur (the last one is something to see? A tour of the park of Keoladeo is nice, to you? I didn't visit the park, but heard that it is interesting. Walk or cycle ride? I'm not a famous ornithologist, but maybe the landscape is very nice...) during the transfer from Jaipur to Agra, so that we'll have a free day for a daily trip to Gwalior (as usual, is it a good idea? What about Gwalior, is it nice? Or there is any other interesting place for a daily trip from Agra? Or the original plan is the better one, so that we'll have a more relaxing staying in Agra...) Can you give me any sort of tips? Jodhpur is nice, but it's a bit out of range. The best trip would be Delhi-Agra-Jaipur-Pushkar-Jodhpur-Jaisalmer and then from Jaisalmer to Delhi by plane, but I think that there are no flights from Jaisalmer to Delhi. My wife, on the other hand, appeals to women for what concerns the virtuous subject "shopping"...any suggestion? Agra is not that suitable for shopping. Jaipur would be better. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
