Two weeks in India in August/September

Posted by sicn (196 days ago)

Fly from Dubai. Want to book a tour either on line or from a local agent. Do you have any recommendation on a good itinerary and a reputable travel agent?
Two weeks in Bali followed. My thougths is not to book anything. Just get a taxi to drive around for vila rental. Is it a good idea?

Was in India for a couple of weeks over the CNY holiday - flew into Delhi spending two nights there - then hired a car to complete the triangle (Taj Mahal, Pink City) - totally excellent

Then flew to Kerala - that was superb. Then flew back to Delhi and on to Manali in the north - spectacular.

India is a diverse and amazing country - I've been through most of Asia and nothing compares.

For Bali check this forum - loads of ideas http://hongkong.asiaxpat.com/travel/destinations/bali/

thx Ed.
Decided two weeks in India will go with tourist group to the golden triangle and north into Nepal.
Bali villas are more pricy than I expacted through on-line agency. Even tried the Craigslist. But not sure if I can trust the ad. I think I will stick to the plan, drive around the beaches and find some beach cottage.
Rare chance to be this part of the world around this time of the year and some time in hand. Also planning an east Africa Sarafi. Anyone has done it?
