On a personal level, India is going to be exactly what you make of it.

When to Go
India has such a wide range of climatic factors that it's impossible to pin down the best time to visit weather-wise. Broadly speaking October to March tend to be the most pleasant months over much of the country.
• Kashmir and the mountainous regions of Himachal Pradesh are at their most accessible between May and September.
• The deserts of Rajasthan and the northwestern Indian Himalayan region are at their best during the monsoon
• The trekking season in the Indian Himalaya runs roughly from April to November, though this varies widely depending on the trek, altitude and region. The ski season is between January and March.

It's worth checking the dates of particular festivals - you may be attracted by them, or conversely may want to avoid the chaos and jacked-up prices that attend them.

Indian currency notes:
Indian currency notes circulate in small notes as well as high value notes. Be care full when you get a high value note. It is better to collect high value notes from Banks only. You may occasionally find that when you try to pay for something with a ripped or grubby note that your money is refused. You can change old notes for new ones at most banks or save them and use them creatively as tips. Don't let shopkeepers palm grubby notes off on you as change - simply hand them back and you'll usually be given a note slightly higher up the acceptability scale. Keep a supply of smaller denomination notes - there is a perpetual shortage of small change.

Tipping is virtually unknown in India, except in swanky establishments in the major cities. Rather “Baksheesh” , a term which encompasses tipping and a lot more besides, well accepted through out India as a blessing for the good service .

Delhi :-
Delhi is capital of india . Discover the inner peace of the city, rich with culture, architecture and human diversity, deep with history .

You can see & experience a city of thousands of years of history and cultural development, significant movements of different populations, invasions and colonialisation.

This civilisation is evident in the plentiful historical sites around Delhi.

Agra – Tajmahal , one of the seven wonder of the world :
The Taj Mahal, described as the most extravagant monument ever built for love, has become the de facto tourist emblem of India. Emperor Shah Jahan constructed this poignant Mughal mausoleum in memory of his second wife Mumtaz Mahal, whose death in childbirth in 1631A.D. left the emperor so heartbroken that his hair is said to have turned grey overnight. Construction of the Taj began in the same year and completed only in 1653 A.D.

The architecture of Tajmahal is very intelligent one & unique in it. You can say only one word……”an art”.

The perfection of the Taj's architecture does not diminish upon closer inspection; it merely comes into sharper focus. Your closer look to the details of Tajmahals architecture & the curving stone will make you a different person ,full of passion for “Taj”.

If you're planning to check out this marvel, don't forget that it's closed on Friday to all non-Muslims.

Agra Fort, city's other major attraction is made of massive red sandstone on the bank of the Yamuna River. The auricular fort's colossal double walls rise over 20m (65ft) in height and measure 2.5km (1.55mi) in circumference. They are encircled by a fetid moat and contain a maze of superb halls, mosques, chambers and gardens which form a small city within a city. Not all buildings are open to visitors, including the white marble Pearl Mosque, regarded by some as the most beautiful mosque in India.

Agra is near to Delhi - 200km - to be visited on a day trip. It's on the major tourist circuit so you can choose your of transport; car, jeep, bus, or train.

Goa :
Goa , this drop of golden sun on the West Cost of India, is bestowed upon by innumerable gifts: Picturesque landscape, sun drenched beaches, historic monuments, pleasant climate, culinary expertise and above all , hospitable people.

Jaipur:
Foryt, palaces, architectural marvels and tales of valour, all in their own way, bear testimony to the glory of that Jaipur is and was just after it was conceived by Sawai Jai Singh in 1727 A.D. Located 262 kilometer from Delhi , Jaipur was the first planned city in Northern India.
Jaipur owes its name, its foundation and its careful planning to the great warrior-astronomer Maharaja Jai Singh II (1699-1744).

Now Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan is popularly known as the 'pink city' because of the ochre-pink hue of its old buildings and crenellated city walls.

Today Jaipur is a city of broad avenues and remarkable architectural harmony, built on a dry lake bed surrounded by barren hills. It's an extremely colourful city and, in the evening light, it radiates a magical warm glow.

Most of city’s attractions are compactly located in the walled 'pink city' in the northeast of the city. All seven gates into the old city remain, one of which leads into Johari Bazaar - the famous jewellers' market.

The most obvious landmark in the old city is the Iswari Minar Swarga Sul (the Minaret Piercing Heaven) which was built to overlook the city, but the most striking sight is the stunning artistry of the five-storey facade of the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds. The palace was built in 1799 to enable ladies of the royal household to watch street life and processions.

Numerous international airlines are based in Jaipur Towers.

Daily flights to Delhi are available and most continue on to Mumbai via Jodhpur, Udaipur and Aurangabad. The Rajasthan State Transport System covers Rajasthan's major cities, as do the privately owned deluxe services. You can also reach by train.

It is always better to have own vehicle & a driver cum guide, hence rent a Car…..it is quite cheap .

Kolkata:
Kolkata (Formerly known as Calcutta - the fouding name of the city)

Kolkatta is home to four Nobel laureates - Ronald Ross, Rabindranath Tagore, Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen, Kolkata is the nerve centre of intellect and human values, where many modern movements began in art, cinema and theatre, science and industry.

From October to March, Kolkata wears a radiant look. Sunshine, mild winter, lights, colours, fairs, festivals, galas and excursions, the mood is infectious and spirit sweeping.

It is nice to discover its enchanting colonial beauty, the energy and humour of its people and the charm of the city's distinctly Bengali soul

Kullu-Manali:
The Kullu valley , most romantic for its nature , has an ancient town in its lap called Manali. Surrounded by towering peaks, Manali is close to the snowline., a popular honeymoon destination and trailhead for numerous treks & jeep safari as well as a great countryside ideal for adventure sport lovers. Manali is the starting point if, you wish to have an adventure in this part of Himalay.

Mumbai:
Mumbai (AKA Bombay) is the glamour of Bollywood cinema, cricket on the maidans on weekends, bhelpuri on the beach at Chowpatty and red double-decker buses.

Many travellers spend their time cocooned in Colaba, but there's much more to explore - take the time to check out the majestic remnants of colonial history, the galleries showing the latest in Indian contemporary art, the busy markets and the evening parade of locals at Chowpatty Beach.

Mysore:
This charming, easy-going city has long been a favourite with travellers since it's a manageable size, enjoys a good climate and has chosen to retain and promote its heritage rather than replace it. The city is famous for its silk and is also a thriving sandalwood and incense centre, though don't expect the air to be any more fragrant than the next town.

Nainital:
Nainital is a lovely hill station surrounded by mountains on three sides. Nainital is located in the Kumaon hills and the weather is very pleasant throughout the year except during winter months. In winters it becomes very cold.

Shimla:
The 'summer capital' of British India sprawls along a crescent-shaped ridge at an altitude of over 2100m (6890ft) in southern Himachal Pradesh. This was the most important hill station in India before Independence, and the social life here in the summer months .

The famous main street, The Mall, still runs along the crest of the ridge and is lined with stately English-looking houses. Christ Church, Gorton Castle and the fortress-like former Viceroyal Lodge reinforce the English flavour.

When you've done the obligatory stroll along The Mall dreaming of Kipling, Burton and Merchant-Ivory, it's worth exploring the narrow streets which fall steeply away from the ridge to colourful local bazaars.

Visit Jakhu Temple, dedicated to the monkey god “ Hanuman”. It's located near the highest point of the ridge and offers fine views of the town, surrounding valley and snow-capped peaks. Other scenic spots nearby are :

• the 70m (230ft) high Chadwick Falls,
• the picnic spot of Prospect Hill, and
• Wildflower Hall - the site of the former mansion of Lord 'Your- Country-Needs-You' Kitchener.
• The ski resort of Kufri is just 15km (10m) east, although snowfalls have been so paltry recently that there are plans to suspend tourist operations. If there is snow, the slopes are suitable for beginners and anyone with a decent plastic bag and a thick pair of trousers. Snow is most likely between January and February.

Shimla is well connected by the number of trains and buses. Three types of bus - public, private, and those from the Himachal Pradesh Tourist Development Company (HPTDC) - connect Shimla to Delhi, and they run pretty much every day. Shimla's so-called toy train is still big enough to get you to Kalka in the north, after which you can change to the relatively large and comfortable New Delhi Queen which runs on down into New Delhi.

It is always better to have own vehicle & a driver cum guide, hence rent a Car / jeep …..it is quite cheap & make your tour a real enjoyment.

Udaipur:
The most aesthetic & romantic city in Rajasthan, built on the banks of the shimmering Lake Pichola. Nestled among the lush hills of the Aravalis, it has inevitably been dubbed the 'Venice of the East'. It is a kaleidoscope of fairy-tale palaces, lakes, temples, gardens and narrow lanes strewn with stalls, carries the flavour of the heroic past, epitomizing valor and chivalry

Udaipur was founded in 1568 by Maharana Udai Singh, the city is a blend of whitewashed buildings, marble palaces, lakeside gardens, temples and havelis (traditional Indian mansions).

Lake Pichola is the city's centrepiece and it contains two delightful island palaces - Jagniwas and Jagmandir - that are the very definition of Rajput whimsy.

Other attractions in Udaipur include the gates to the old walled city and its lovely alleyways; the fine Indo-Aryan Jagdish Temple, dating from the mid-17th century; and the lakeside Bagore ki Haveli, once a royal guesthouse, but now a cultural centre.

Varanasi:
For over 2000 years, Varanasi, the 'eternal city', has been one of the holiest places in India. Built on the banks of the sacred Ganges, it is said to combine the virtues of all other places of pilgrimage and anyone who ends their days here, regardless of creed and however great their misdeeds, is transported straight to heaven.

The best ghat to hang out at and absorb the riverside activity is Dasaswamedh Ghat. Here you'll find a dense concentration of people who come to the edge of the Ganges not only for a ritual bath, but to do yoga, offer blessings. It's also the best place to arrange a boat trip.

Other highlights / attractions include
• the Golden Temple, built in a roofed quadrangle with stunning gilded towers;
• shopping at markets famous for their ornamental brasswork, lacquered toys, shawls, silks and sitars;
• visiting the nearby Buddhist centre of Sarnath;
• and taking the dawn river trip slowly down the Ganges. It is a real experience of life.
  

   Varanasi is on the major tourist loop, about
• 580km from Agra, and
• 780km from Delhi, and can be reached by plane, bus or train or by by car. Road is good & is a national highway.
