CC1981 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I am stunned. I've seen a fair bit of India (though sadly, never been to the south) and i am planning on doing a 3-4 month backpacking trip through India sometime in the next few years. I am kind of disappointed at Gorah (though very thankful too) that he didn't take the pictures himself. I was going to ask him for his help in planning my trip and where exactly these sights are/how to get there etc. Apna desh mein sab kuch hain..lekin planning karne ka kuch nahim..puri khopree ghumaa deti hain edhar se udhar jaane ka raasta nikaalne mein.

dial_100 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Wow... stunning pictures those are.. !!!! I have no doubt in my mind that this is why they call India the divine land. Such a joy seeing them..I believe, Kerala, and bit of a south, Himchal, Asaam, Kashmir, some part of MP, BBy, Calcutta some part of Maharashtra, Agra and those places where these pictures coming from. Boy!! I always wanted to go to Kashmir and Kerala in my life time. First I will do Kerala so Kashmir main mar bhi jaaye to parwa nahi..!!.. Thanks Gorah bhai...

gorah_pindu Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 @CC1981 I can tell you where most of the monuments are - for example, Tamil Nadu has the biggest temples in India - at Trichy and Madurai - the Srirangam temple and Meenakshi temple. They are almost the size of Angkor Watt, the largest mandir in the world, and probably took more material and skill to build. If I was going to take a trip around India - I would follow a diamond pattern - start off in Delhi (the capitol buildings) - go through Rajestan via the national highway (the old forts and temples in Jaipur, etc) - arrive in Mumbai (nice skyscrapers, marine drive, Elephanta, etc) - drive down to Goa (some of India's best beaches, parties, etc) - drive to Bangalore (India's hippest city, with pubs and nightlife) - drive to Trichy and Madurai (fantastic temples) - drive up the coast to Bhubaneshwar (more brilliant temples, and Orissa has cool scenery) - then to Kolkata (another nice city) - drive to Khajuraho (more great temples) - then up to Agra (Taj Mahal, etc) - then back to Delhi. You wouldnt see everything that way, but using just the national highways and some state highways, you would get a big chunk of the coasts, and move in a circular pattern around some of India's best sites. Also, you would visit all of the big six cities except Hyderabad that way (or could make a detour). Dunno how long all that would take - but 3-4 months would easily cover it - you might have time to go to Kashmir and the North East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC1981 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 GP- i've been suggested the diamond pattern before but my only problem with that is I need to go to Sikkim and Himachal Pradesh/Kumaun as well during the trip.I don't want to give South India the chop again but in terms of logistics, its gonna be a nightmare to do the himalayas and the south (as well as hitting Agra/Delhi/Benaras) in 3-4 months time.

gorah_pindu Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Might be best just to take a series of short trips to differnt places then, depending on where you live. Every part of India has something good to see. CC1981 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That's sounds like a good plan GP. How long do you think it will take to do the "Diamond" tour of India? BTW are you suggesting we should be driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
