Rare long holidays are best for India as it's such a large country. You can't really see anything in a short trip so you'll just end up making lots of short trips and not seeing much. It's difficult to get around in India so the shorter your trip the more pressed for time you are. Make trips...

I've seen bungee jumping in Bangalore, and it was relatively cheap compared to the prices I've seen in other countries. Although I agree with some of the other people here, I wouldn't do it in a million years. Maybe I'd like to go up there to see the sites as I imagine there is a good view from...

The most essential things for me when travelling are my tickets. My wife and Ii often book in advance for all the things we are going to do when travelling in India, so we usually have many tickets. We'll have all of our train tickets, hotel bookings, site seeing tours, bus tickets, plane...

As a life long fan of curry, I suppose India, to me is what Italy is to a person who loves pasta. They say there are over 2000 types of curry available in India. I couldn't possibly say if that's true or not, but I can say I've been more than 10 times to India and I'm still trying new ones.

Yes, you should definitely see the Golden Temple, but overall your trip looks pretty good. Anyone who has seen my comments on here knows I'm a huge fan of the south of India and you'll have a great time. As the previous poster said, it depends on how long you wish to spend at each location.

This is good news. I've been to Dublin many times and also to India. Never thought there would ever be a direct flight between the two locations. Thanks for the post.

I've used AirBnb before for European travel and they are a safe site. The person involved won't get you money until you start you stay and generally the people who advertise properties on there, tend to be good people. Never used it for India but the site is a class act. Go for it!!!!!!!

It depends on where you are. In the south, driving can be a really pleasant experience. The south is beautiful and more sparsely population than the north. In the major cities like Delhi, driving is crazy and definitely an experience you can take home with you. The word congested is an...

You will definitely need warm clothes especially for going out after dark. People think if India as a warm country but it gets chilly in the winter.

It's been increasing for years. Basically they understand that the Taj Mahal is the place every tourist wants to see and most will pay anything to get in there. It's like the London eye, no matter how exorbitant the fee, it'll get visitors all year round.

Three words: The Golden Triangle. Things can get pretty ridiculous there, and personally I prefer the south where it's more laid back and less touristy. But if you want to join the tourist bandwagon, you start out in Delhi and struggle your way through crowds of people all wanting the see the...

I always look for someone I get along with. If your going to be spending a lot of time with a person, and the enjoyment you have a vacation depends on this, then you should be careful to choose someone who will maximize that enjoyment. I travel with people I know well. You can't really know...

I've travelled alone in India before and was perfectly safe. It depends on where you going though. Cities in any country are full of nice people and idiots, all packed together within the confines of urban existence. India is no different, so its about using common sense and if anyone tells you...

You need to go to the British Consulate and they will go through with you the steps you need to take to get your passport renewed. The time it will take is dependant on how much of a backlog they have, and what option you choose. The more you pay, the quicker it is, but make sure you take your...

For me the best food in India is in the south. My preference is a more rustic feel to my food, and the south is nothing if not more rustic than the north. You can come across all kinds of strange and unusual dishes being prepared in India, and the smaller the city or town, the more exciting and...
