Ok, I am focusing on a more defined route. I will focus on the northern part of India and will join parts of Nepal:

Delhi - (Agra) - (Jaipur) - Rishikesh - Bareilly - Kanpur - Varanassi - Patna - (Darjeeling) - Kathmandu - Delhi

The idea is starting from Delhi. I am not sure, wether it’s a good idea visiting Taj Mahal and the palace in Jaipur. I will make my decisions in Delhi. My plan is going north - where the Ganges has its source. Going to Rishikesh and going further into east by following the Ganges: Bareilly, Kanpur, Varanasi, Patna.

Depending on transport, time and my personal condition, I will decide in the area of Varanasi/Patna wether I will travel to Darjeeling or directly to Kathmandu in Nepal. If I am visiting Darjeeling, then I will travel to Kathmandu via Darjelling by jeep and bus. Should be an adventure. Crossing the borders…

Yesterday I succeeded in the second part of my rabbies vaccination. Same symptons as last time: A little bit cold, a little bit hectic and a “hot” night, which means, that I felt, that my body was struggeling with some side-effects of the vaccinations. Interesting, as it was the same last week after the first rabbies-vaccination.

This goes fast… After getting my holidays I was on Mariahilferstrasse this evening, buying a Lonely Planet for India. Wow, more than 1000 pages.

Route: Checked my route… Thought about travelling through North-India - from New Dehli to Darjeeling. Changed it later, want to go to the beach, enjoying sun and beach next to city and country. So - the primary trip from New Dehli to Goa is still up to date.

Flight: Well, booked my flight on www.checkfelix.at - a direct-flight from Vienna to New Dehli with Austrian Airlines for around 600 EUR. Price is OK for a 7.5 hr. travel. Super… It seems to run everything how I planned. checkfelix.at seems to be a very cool platform for booking flights - booking cheap flights. Never seen so many really cheap ones and especially flights, which are so easy available…

Exciting…
