My trip to India was in April, the place I dreamed of visiting many years ago.
But as you'll see, I've had some problems, but over time I have benefited a lot, and the three weeks I've spent in India have been really great.
Every day I discovered something different, the population is generous, the trains were a remarkable experience, and I was lucky when I tasted the cuisine in some hotels.
I wanted to write this article to show you the path you made from beginning to end,
With recommendations for what you've done, and what I didn't do during my trip. I've covered transportation and communications in India, hotels, food recommendations and other things you can do.
If you have three weeks to roam, I recommend you visit India.
My flight details to India: First week of my trip to India: Delhi and Golden Triangle
1. Access to Delhi:
Delhi
Delhi
I started my trip to India by getting to Delhi and I boarded a taxi from the airport to my hotel.
Whatever taxi driver in India, you will need to cut the taxi fare by half to get a fair price. The first time I paid 500 rupees (£5).
My trip across the cab was strange. I arrived in Delhi late, and it's a good thing I booked the Metro Tower.
It seems to me to be 10 minutes away, but I did not have a precise title. The cab driver told me he knew the address of the hotel,
But it turns out he didn't know the address, the hotel wasn't much better where I could barely sleep
2-Delhi Tour:
After the driver took me to a tour of Delhi, we went straight to the Rose Roz Hotel in the House of Haus Khaz (the hotel is currently closed).
I loved house Khazz from the very first time, there was the final cricket game. The driver took me out for breakfast called Choli Choley (a mixture of spicy hummus.
When the guide arrived, we went to spend a whole day exploring and seeing some of the major attractions in Delhi.
Kutop Minnar Qutub Minar.
Tomb of Humayun Humayun's tomb.
The Indian gate, the parliament.
Buddha Temple.
Borani Delhi.
The red fortress.
The mosque.
Upon returning to the hotel I had to pay an extra fare to the cab driver, where I paid £45 to return to the hotel.
It was a long day, after my arrival I went to a food store to buy things and then I came back to the hotel.
3-Exploring House Khaaz:
After a breakfast at the Rose Hotel, I toured House Khaaz. It was soon discovered as one of the finest areas in Delhi.
I'm very grateful for bringing me to this place. I wandered into stores, explored landmarks and bought gifts for my family,
You can also drink tea and coffee in many places. I loved House Khazz.
4. Fatpur Sikri Fatehpur Sikri
I had to wake up early to get to the Delhi tourist office to start the Golden Triangle tour at 6:00 a.m.
The round was £70, including a two-night stay, the cheapest round.
I loved the journey and watched these landmarks with the Indian people. We completed our tour by going to Agra Agra, really it was a memorable journey.
During my stay in India, I decided to eat vegetarian meals, so I chose to dine spinach and panier, I've never eaten a panier, and it tastes delicious, I'd advise you to eat it.
5. Taj Mahal:
When I saw the Taj Mahal I felt an incredible feeling. I was eager to hear the true story of the Taj Mahal,
And to see the teacher directly. The experience was more beautiful than I imagined, and I do not advise any visitor to waste the opportunity to visit the Taj Mahal.
What I'm saying seems strange but I was impressed by the main roads in India, it's wide and not as crowded as I expected.
When you ate the panier in a classy place, I felt a difference in taste compared to street food in Mania Khaaz.
6. Fort Amber:
We went to see the Amber Fort in the hills. Once again I was amazed by the skill and effort of the government to preserve these huge monuments,
I was surprised when I was thinking about the tools and equipment that this fortress was created in that time.
After a few hours of exploring the teacher it was time to return to Delhi. I bought a bag of a man to help him finance his study,
After that I got a lesson at the bargain of my new Indian friends who said I certainly paid a lot.
We went back to the hotel at about 18:00. I went out to take a look around the surrounding area and everyone stared at me.
I'm at least longer than the average locals, with my blond hair, I think they're staring at it too.
7. More in Delhi
I had a few hours of extra time in Delhi, thanks to the delay in the flight for 10 hours
I met a friend and we went on a motorcycle tour of the city and outside. Everyone here has this kind of bike. I've never heard of it before, but now I want one.
At the airport, Delhi's adventure is over. The next destination is Kerala Kerala, accompanied by some friends
8. Exploring the Kochi Kochi
I arrived after midnight, immediately after that I paid a quick tribute to my friends who arrived before me and then went to sleep.
In the morning I made a light tour of Kochi, then we decided to take the boat to Arnaklum Ernakulum.
We didn't really know what to do in Arnakuom and it was very hot, and for an hour's tour we need around £1,
But we decided that it would be better to go back to Kochi on the boat again, after we were tricked by a child in order to pay for a silly bracelet.
We took a break at the pepper tree Pepper Wood before we had another tour of Kochi in search of the Jewish area.
Then we realize that today is Saturday, we were in the Jewish area but all the shops are closed. So we went for a wonderful curry meal
We stayed at Aaron Aaron's guesthouse in Kochi, was clean, the site was great, and the owner was nice to us and helped us a lot.
9. The road to Ticuddy Thekkady
We took a cab and we were supposed to be there in five hours, but we got after 7 because the car broke down. Luckily for us it broke down near a very nice family house where they let us drink tea.
I was very sick along the way. I ended up being to vomit near a bridge where I couldn't wait another second.
I'm sure it was because of the food I ate at the Delhi airport Lounge.
4000 rupees is the cost of going from Kochi to Tekade in the car where we were four people, and we gave him a 10% tip.
We were worried that the time it took was not enough, but it wasn't our fault.
But because of the car that broke down, anyway, he tried to convince us to come back with him so we couldn't get too upset.
We arrived at the hotel Berard Woods Periyar Woods Hotel in Tikadi, and booked for a Cathakkale Kathalaki followed by the martial arts show with only 200 rupees.
I ended up going to dinner at the Spice Park with two people we'd met earlier at the Tourist Information Center.
10-If you are very ill, do nothing
I was so sick all night. I decided to avoid walking in nature, but my friends went to see the elephants and wandered into the wilderness.
I stayed on the porch till they came back. Afternoon we went to the spice farm, and while I sat in the shade, I wandered around.
That night we went to dinner in an open-air restaurant I had hardly been able to eat anything.
We went to the flower of Ticuddy's show and enjoyed it, so we almost died because of the many insects.
The manager of the hotel Berard Woods is a great man, one of our favorite people. I would like to strongly recommend staying in Bergar Woods for every visitor who wishes to stay in the region.
11. Rorolkostaere and Marri Rollercoaster and Marari
We decided to go by the bus from Ticuddy to Marri in alibi. Soon we found it was an interesting choice.
Though trying to ascertain the times by three different people,
We couldn't catch the direct bus. We ended up with another one climbing down the Tikadon hills.
After more than five hours of waiting, we decided to take the bus,
We had two hours of the road, so we decided to follow the trip with a cab, but after all the trouble, we didn't have much fun to venture.
We got to Marori beach resort and it was so beautiful we thought we were in the wrong place and I spent a while in the pool before going to dinner at the beach.
12-day in Marri swimming pool
We spent the whole day in the pool, unfortunately the sun wasn't shining. You just relax to prepare for a vegetable dish at night.
It turned out to be one of the best nights I spent on my trip, we had four hours to learn about products and how to make them. If you stay at the resort of Marri, you cannot pass through here without doing so.
This was also the first night I felt better.
13. Alibi Water Boat
We left Marri early and we went to nearby alibi and rented a canoe, it was really easy and cost much less than we thought. 1000 rupees per person
We have got a boat with a bed and an area suitable for three people and there are three meals and a cruise along the water.
That night, I felt cold. We had curry fish and we stopped to buy some shrimp from a shop next to the canal, which was delightful.
The boat crew wanted to go to sleep, so we had to evacuate the living room.
14. Ramada in Alibi
Early after breakfast, we didn't have a lot of time at alibi to collect our luggage, so we decided to spend the day next to the pool at Ramada Hotel, a big hotel.
At about 16:00 we went to town for dinner and found the Thaf Thaff restaurant.
Here I took one of the best meals in India, as well as the best dishes, which is fried tomato chips.
This was the point where I started to feel better, and I couldn't keep anything in a few days.
I bought sunglasses off the road and life was good again.
15. Ashim Beach in Goa
We got to Goa and stayed in the tourist village of San Fico Sunny Cow, which I would recommend as a good home residence.
The price is less than £10 per night. We went out to see the beach and do some activities, then we found a big restaurant and we had dinner.
16. Goa Huts
After eating the best foods in San ico, we went to the huts, about an hour away, to spend three days hoping to be beautiful.
We spent time at the beach, drinking juices, before heading to sleep in the cottage.
17. Chatat Lazy Dog Beach
I rented bicycles from the hotel and we went to explore the tracks in Goa. We found a beautiful beach and we found surf athletes.
After an unsuccessful attempt to get a dolphin trip or similar we decided to go back to the cottage and enjoy it.
18. Another Day in Goa
We participated in the morning yoga exercises for two hours and then we had breakfast outside our room and then we rested on the beach.
Then we had lunch and then we had dinner. It was a busy day, and we were ready to go to Mumbai tomorrow.
19-Going to Mumbai
We drove to the train station after we could change our tickets to a nearest station, once we realized how far the other train was, and I was so happy that I didn't use the bus.
We arrived at the right time and we got our seats. Three of us were very tired because of the heat and as soon as we managed to get the rest I fell asleep.
At the end of our journey we made friends with some Indian men who were on a business trip and they were very funny. They wanted to take pictures with us.
After five hours we arrived in Mumbai, we went to a local train to move us to our place. After a lot of fuss, we got to the apartment where we were going to stay, and again, I felt the same.
20. Tour of the popular neighborhoods
We were willing to take a tour of the popular neighborhoods by using the train because touring a cab is relatively expensive,
It is certainly time-consuming, unlike trains they are cheap and different from other countries.
After a few hours, it's time to take a street tour and have lunch with Reality tours
We took samples from 10 different dishes located in the Chowpatty beach of Mumbai. The foods were great
21-Cave of the Elephant and Taj Mahal
Elephant Caves in India
Elephant Caves in India
We had booked a bike tour at sunrise with the reality of tourism but after we get back after midnight,
We need to get to the right time, though, it seems so cold, all the money is invested in charity, so I advise you to go.
We went to the India Gate and we got tickets to go to the island of Alfanyou.
They told us it was one of the best things to do in Mumbai. After an hour of walking, and another hour to return, frankly, I don't recommend doing it.
We went back to the Taj Mahal hotel The price wasn't bad, a little like London but I got a lot of chips and nuts too.
After we spent so much time there we went to Colaba market and we lost some of our last rupees we bought some shoes and bought the Buddha's belt and statue.
Then we went to Leopold, some say it's a tourist place because of the Shantaram book, but for local tourists I don't agree with them.
We took a cab from the hotel, and the end of our trip was in India
