Bonjour,

J'ai décidé de partir pour l'Inde du nord début mars 2020. Je recherche un endroit ou je pourrais me poser un ashram ou un temple ou je puisse méditer, yoga et autres, me retrouver coté spirituel. Je suis au début de mon voyage, mais j'ai besoin de conseil, de vos expériences.

Merci infiniment de vos retours.

Namasté

Hi everyone! 🙂 My partner (who’s a teacher—hence the summer holidays) and I are heading to Eastern India for 23 days in July. This is my 5th trip to India, but her first.

We fly into Delhi on July 7th and leave from Delhi on the 23rd (since our flight to Kolkata arrived late at night, and I wanted to show Agra and Varanasi to my partner).

We love getting off the beaten track and meeting people, so we’ll mostly be taking the train.

Here’s what we’re planning:

- **DELHI**: 1 night on the way (short because the plane is supposed to land at 01:55), then we take the train at 13:00 - **GWALIOR**: 3 nights, including a day trip to **AGRA** by train to see the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort (I find Agra too touristy to stay overnight). Otherwise, in Gwalior, the Fort, the temples, the Man Mandir Palace, and the Jai Vilas Palace if we have time. - **ORCHHA**: 2 nights... *maybe skip this to spend more time in VARANASI?* - **VARANASI**: overnight train + 3 nights, the Ghats, temples... maybe a day trip to **SARNATH**. - **KOLKATA**: overnight train + 3 nights. Maybe a countryside excursion to the ashram in Channa. *- Here we’re hesitating over 2 nights: either 2 nights in **SHANTINIKETAN** with a visit to **CHANNA** on the way, or a 2-day excursion to the **SUNDARBAN** nature park. But is it worth it in July during the monsoon?* - **PURI**: overnight train + 4 nights. *We’re planning to do everything from Puri, as it seems nicer than staying in BHUBANESWAR. What do you think?* Visit **KONARK** and **CHILIKA LAKE**. *Is it worth visiting Chilika Lake this season? Another question: can you swim in Puri, or is it too dangerous (waves)?* - Train to **BHUBANESWAR**, then a flight from BHUBANESWAR to **DELHI**, - 2 nights in **DELHI**, visiting Jama Masjid, and *either Humayun’s Tomb, Safdarjung’s Tomb, or Qutb Minar.*

Back to Paris. Total: 23 nights.

What do you think of these choices? What about the options we’re still unsure about *(in bold/italics)*? Thanks so much! 🙂

Bonjour à tous,

Je vais partir en mars dans le Tamil Nadu, j'y resterai 16 jours. peut-être 17.

Pouvez m'aidez sachant que le critère numéro 1 n'est pas de faire la course. ce qui m'oblige à faire des choix entre les merveilleux sites... j'aime aussi visiter les villes, me perdre dans les rues, ...

ITINERAIRE:

CHENAI le 15/03 : arrivée à 2 h du matin et départ le soir même : bus de nuit direction Madurai

- MADURAI le 16/03 matin - départ le 20 matin - KODAIKANNAL le 20/03 fin milieu d'après midi - départ le 24 - THANJAVUR Entre le 24 et le 28 visite de Tirichirapalli / Tajore /Kumbakonam est il possible de voir traquillement ces sites en si peu de jours? je préfère voir que 2 sites et prendre mon temps que voir tout et bâcler les visites... dans quelle ville séjourner ? Thanjavur ou trichy? le choix de ces sites est il un bon choix ou il y a mieux? le site de mahabalipuram m'a l'air pas mal non plus. - FIN DU VOYAGE A PONDICHERY le 28 /03 et retour le 01/04 (avion le soir à Chenai)- envie de flâner à Pudu.... ou peut être le retour le 02/04 le soir

QUESTION Quel est le tarif moyen d'entrée de ces sites?

Merci de votre aide. Sibylle

Bonjour,

Je pars au mois de juillet avec mon compagnon au Rajastan,

Voici notre itinéraire supposé sur l'image. (attaché)

MAIS j'ai découvert Chittorhgarh et je trouve cet endroit magnifique.

Du coup j'aimerais sacrifier (ou pas) un endroit dans mon itinéraire mais le choix semble difficile (manque de temps pour tout garder évidemment...)

Pourriez-vous m'aiguiller? Mille mercis

Bonjour , je vais partis en Inde en circuit mais cette fois avec voiture et chauffeur . Je dois souscrire une assurance multirisque , mais j’hésite entre Europe assistance et AXA . Qui peut me donner des conseils dans le choix entre ces deux compagnies . Merci d'avance Rol33420

Hi, I’m leaving this Saturday for Northern India from 15/02 to 27/02. I’m planning to visit New Delhi, Agra, Chand Baori, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Bundi, Udaipur, and Jodhpur.

What’s the best way to get around? I was thinking of doing everything by train. Maybe taking the bus for some stretches?

As for renting a car with a driver, it seems expensive, so I’ve pretty much ruled that out. Unless someone’s got space for the same dates?

Thanks for your insights!

Hi, I’d like to arrive in India at New Delhi Airport with some cash. I was wondering if the exchange rates at the airport are any good or if it’s best to avoid them (and exchange in the city instead?).

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

We’d love some tips and suggestions for a trip to India we’re planning for February 2026:

We’re a couple in our 70s based in Canada (Montreal), and we’re planning a 3-week trip to India in February 2025.

We’re looking for a moderate pace, with comfortable but authentic and immersive accommodations, and good service.

Ideally:

Northern India (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Ranthambore) Southern India (Kerala): Cochin, backwaters (cruise), Munnar

Charming or traditional lodgings (haveli, guesthouse, small hotels), comfortable without being luxurious.

Travel by train where possible, and with a private driver for the rest, plus likely a domestic flight.

What do you think?

Bonjour,

nous avons prévu un voyage en Inde du sud cet été (3 semaines en juillet/début août) et nous souhaiterions savoir s'il y a des liaisons en car de Panjim à Hampi (et retour) tous les jours de la semaine et éventuellement le coût. Merci d'avance pour vos réponses

JCE

Bonjour, mon périple de 10 jours au Karnataka en avril se précise, même si j'improviserai sur place, les informations d'autres voyageurs m'ouvrent les options possibles, parmi les questions que je me posent encore :

1/ je reprends l'avion de Bangalore le 12 vers 1h du matin, pour éviter de retrouver à Bangalore le dernier jour, j'envisage de prendre un bus direct Mysore--aéroport de Bangalore dans l'après-midi impossible d'avoir les infos en ligne, qui l'a déjà fait ? voyez vous d'autres options ?

2/ j'hésite toujours pour mes étapes intermédiaires (2 nuits) entre Hampi et Mysore… l'option envisagée serait : 1 nuit à chitradurga + 1 nuit à belur ? avant de rejoindre Mysore... pour ceux qui ont été dans ce coin vous voyez d'autres options intéressantes ? merci d'avance bonne année 2020 et meilleures vœux à tous

Bonjour à tous, J'envisage un circuit organisé de 13 jours avec ASIA au Rajasthan, appelé l'essentiel du Rajasthan. Quelqu'un a t-il déjà fait ce circuit et quelles ont été vos impressions ? D'autre part, adaptateur pour prises de courant ou pas ?

En tout état de cause, je souhaite de bonnes fêtes de fin d'année à tous.

Bonjour a tous,

En début d’année prochaine , je souhaite aller visiter le Gujarat. Cela fait longtemps que je ne suis pas allée à Mumbai, je pensait donc, à partir de là, visiter le nord du Maharashtra, au dessus de Mumbai , en allant ou revenant. la mesure du possible, de limiter les trajets à six heures grand max et plutôt entre trois et quatre heures. En dehors de Aurangabad Ajanta Elora, ou je retournerai; j’ai trouve Shirdi , Nasik, Ahmenagar, Saputara, Jalgaon, Surate (a moins de trouver des haltes j’exclu Nagpur et Mutagiri) Bharush? Mon choix est il pertinent?, y a t’il des endroits oubliés (pas forcément très touristiques) ou à éviter? Eventuellement, je suis preneuse de conseils sur les lodges et enfin, en dehors de Mumbai y a t’il des liaisons par ferry pur le gujarat? Je voyagerais pendant trois mois. Merci

Bonjour Un ou des voyageurs pourraient me conseiller un hôtel (famille de 5pers) du côté d'Agra mi décembre? chambres avec salle de bain

bonjour,

je suis en train d'organiser un prochain voyage au Rajasthan et aimerais passer par une agence pour avoir voiture + chauffeur et jolis hôtels. Mais j'ai l'impression qu'il vaudrait peut-être mieux réserver les hôtels nous-mêmes, cela reviendrait moins cher. quel est votre avis ?

Hi there. We’re heading to India at the end of December for a month. I planned an itinerary: Delhi, Nawalgarh, Sikar, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Chittaurgarh, Bundi, Jaipur, Bharatpur, and back to Delhi. Our driver told us it’s not possible because there are no roads. He’s suggesting the usual tourist circuit, which we don’t want to do. What do you think of my route? Any tips? Thanks, community!

My partner and I are planning a 2-week trip to Goa from late September to early October. It’s sandwiched between a trip to Nepal (September) and our return home to Thailand. We can’t stay longer, but cutting it shorter wouldn’t be worth the effort or flight costs.

I’ve visited several regions of India in the past (between 2000 and 2020) and spent a total of about 4 months there. My only time in Goa was a few days in Palolem in 2007—I didn’t like it. I found the place almost sordid with all the crowds... not at all the India I love.

But I have an Indian friend with 2 or 3 apartments in a residence in North Goa who keeps telling me to visit. I’m tempted. But where should we go? I don’t want to rent from him because it’s expensive (high-end) and I don’t want to feel too dependent on him either.

After 2 days in Panaji (since it’s near GOI), I’ve booked 5 days in Mandrem, which I’ve heard great things about. This’ll let us explore the Arambol area. I’m hesitant to stay there longer—if we don’t like it or get bored after a few days, spending the full 2 weeks there isn’t ideal! I’m thinking of trying South Goa instead, somewhere between Benaulim and Agonda. The downside? All the rumors about the vibe in different spots—loud techno here, jet skis there, "paunchy English tourists" elsewhere, package tours everywhere... not to mention the expected influx of Russians and/or Israelis (I’ve seen this in other parts of India, Thailand, and Vietnam). Plus, accommodation options are way more limited in the south.

Basically, I’m leaning toward Agonda—relaxed but not too quiet or isolated. But there’s so little availability on sites like Booking and Agoda...

Any recent tips or advice from folks who’ve been to Goa lately? I’d really appreciate it, thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I’m heading to Kerala in December. I’ve been searching without luck for air-conditioned buses, minivans—basically anything that’s not a bus without AC or windows, since my route from Cochin to Munnar is gonna be a long one and I don’t wanna struggle.

I checked around, and it’s crazy—you can’t find the name of a single private company, just overpriced transfers!

From what I can tell, it seems like there’s nothing but local buses… yet I went to Sri Lanka two years ago and there were plenty of options.

Thanks in advance for any tips! Caroline

Hi there, I’m heading to Rajasthan in January and planning to go from Jodhpur to Udaipur, hiring a driver for this leg. Is it possible to do this route in one day, including a (quick?!) visit to Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh? Do you think it’s doable? Thanks in advance for your feedback! 😉

Hi everyone, for my 6th trip to India, I’ve chosen Ladakh and Zanskar. I’m planning a 15-day itinerary with a driver (one week in Ladakh and one week in Zanskar). I’m looking for info and tips from people who’ve recently traveled to these regions—anything that could help me prepare my route, must-see spots (or not!), accommodation advice, etc. Is it necessary to visit all three main lakes usually included in traditional circuits (Tso Moriri, Pangong, and Tso Kar)? In the Nubra Valley, the Hunder dunes with the camels don’t really tempt me given the mixed reviews... What do you think? Big question about altitude sickness—I’ve read that you should take it easy for a full day before hitting the road. Is that enough, or should I plan an extra day? Is it easy and quick to get the Inner Line Permit for the regions where it’s required? Thanks in advance for your tips!

Hi there,

I’ve got a few questions about my upcoming 3.5-week trip to Tamil Nadu and Kerala (January 2025).

On the itinerary, we’re supposed to spend 3 or 4 days in Thanjavur (Tanjore). I thought the location would let us explore the surrounding area, but I’m realizing everything I want to see won’t fit into the schedule! I’d planned: 1 day to arrive from Pondicherry 1 day to go to Darasuram 1 day to go to Tiruchirappalli 1 day to head to Madurai with a stop in Chettinad Basically, we won’t see anything of Thanjavur itself! Should I skip one of the destinations?

In Kerala, after 3 days in Munnar, I’ve planned to spend a few days in Munroe Island since I didn’t get great feedback about Alleppey. I wanted to "wander" through the backwaters. Has anyone been there?

Finally, we’re ending the trip in Cherai. After booking, I realized the beaches seemed unusable (trash, rough sea...) and I’m pretty frustrated about not being able to swim. Unless there’s a better spot nearby?

Thanks for your input!

Hello everyone,

Here’s a little recap of our 3-week trip to India (retired couple) in January 2024. This is our personal experience and how we felt at the time. This is the 7th time we’ve been to India, and after experiencing public transport day and night—and with age catching up—we opted for a more "chill" pace this time, prioritizing flights and taxis while slightly increasing our accommodation budget. Regarding that accommodation budget (double room), we chose a range between 30 and 40 €, and we didn’t really notice much difference compared to the lower range we used to book on previous trips (between 20 and 30 €). But prices have likely gone up since my last visit in 2018.

So here are some personal tips and opinions, good addresses, and others to avoid. Exchange rate: In January 2024, 100 rupees were worth about 1.12 euros (1 euro = 89 INR at exchange bureaus). To convert rupees to euros: X rupees divided by 89 = X euros. For simplicity, we divided the price in rupees by 100 and added about 10% to get the equivalent in euros.

Our itinerary: Mumbai/Aurangabad (Ellora and Ajanta) / Badami / Hampi / Goa (Agonda) / Mumbai Flight: With British Airways—very (too) short layover in London (2 hours in theory...) for the connection to Mumbai, but a 1-hour delay on the flight from CDG, so we had to rush in London with two shuttles to take and security to clear before reaching the departure gate. We had a 15-minute margin by speeding... same stress on the way back...

Mumbai: On the day we arrived in Mumbai, we took a flight to Aurangabad with Indigo. **Note:** Terminal change for this flight. Free buses connect T2 to T1. The flight was fine, even with a 2-hour delay...

Aurangabad: Accommodation: Hotel JP International (35 €/night): Large, "decorated" room with comfortable bedding. But the hotel is showing its age. The air conditioning is a bit noisy, and the faucets and shower have seen better days... Breakfast is included in the price with a buffet—it’s decent. You just have to ask for toast, jam, and eggs, as it’s mostly an Indian buffet... The rooftop restaurant is okay. The hotel is a bit pricey for what it is... The owner, a bit gruff at first, was helpful and assisted us with taxis for visiting the Ellora and Ajanta sites, as it’s hard to find taxis for those trips on the street—no travel agencies in this area. Restaurant: Le Great Sagar (on the main street): Close to the hotel, good food, and plenty of choices. Exchange: We struggled to exchange euros in Aurangabad. No banks exchange money (we tried five...). Only Thomas Cook does: Jalna Road near the Ramgiri Hotel.

Ellora: A magnificent site 25 km from Aurangabad. **Tip:** Arrive early (by 9 AM max) and visit the Kailasha Temple first—it’s the world’s largest monolithic structure—and it gets much busier later.

Ajanta: About a 2-hour drive. **Great tip for this visit:** Ask your taxi to drop you off at the Ajanta View Point. Not only do you get a beautiful overview of the cliff and caves, but you can also walk down gently to the site. The descent is easy with stairs and paths, and you approach the site with stunning views. Cross the bridge, and you’re there (start from the end, as it’s less crowded: after crossing the bridge and paying at the ticket counter, turn left and go to the far end to begin your visit). The taxi waited for us at the "official" entrance after we finished exploring the caves.

Badami: To get to Badami, we took an early-morning flight from Aurangabad to Hubli with Indigo (scheduled takeoff at 6:20 AM...) to arrive in Hubli in the early afternoon and find a taxi to Badami. We found a taxi quickly at Hubli Airport. About 2.5 hours (3,400 INR). Hotel: KSTDC Hotel Mayura Chalukya (38 €/night): A state-run hotel that’s a bit dated, located 15 minutes from the center but quiet compared to the chaotic main street in Badami. Large room, a bit dark, slightly worn walls, rustic bathroom... The air conditioning is very noisy. The owner was very friendly and helped with transport. The staff was also very nice. The hotel restaurant is decent, which saves you from going back "into town." A bit pricey for the quality, but it’s peaceful... The visit to the sculpted caves is worth it, as is a walk around the lake. The short climb to the top of the hill from the museum is also worth it—you pass through small gorges. A relaxing atmosphere in these places.

Hampi: Trip from Badami to Hampi by taxi (3,500 INR) – 3 hours. Booked through the Badami hotel, as we couldn’t find taxis on the street or at reasonable prices... Accommodation: Thilak Home Stay (33 €/night): Located in Hampi Bazaar, a small guesthouse with 4 rooms. Simple room with two single beds and a nightstand. The owner was very helpful, making our stay easier with services like tuk-tuks for sightseeing, laundry, bus booking to Goa, and a tuk-tuk to Hospet. A bit pricey for the room quality, but recommended for the owner’s kindness. It was hard to find accommodation in Hampi Bazaar through booking platforms, as they all offer places outside the city, several kilometers away—which is a shame. But we realized you can find places directly on-site. **You must stay in Hampi Bazaar**—the atmosphere changes from morning to night (in the evening, around 9 PM, go into the courtyard of the main temple in Hampi Bazaar, which turns into a huge dormitory—it’s impressive...). Restaurant: Archana Roof Restaurant: Small restaurant on the 1st floor overlooking a banana field with the Hampi rocks in the background. Very friendly welcome, quiet, and excellent thalis. The Hampi site is in a magical natural setting among temples, pilgrims, ochre rocks, and rice fields. We did a one-day circuit with a tuk-tuk to visit the main sites (1,500 INR). We also rented a scooter on the other side of the river (to avoid a long detour from Hampi Bazaar) for a day trip around the area. Some places we visited: Anegondi village, Durga Temple, Hanuman Temple (go early—it’s a climb...), Sanapur Lake. The accommodations on the other side of the river, called "Hippie Island," have been completely destroyed.

Goa (Agonda Beach): Trip from Hampi to Agonda: Booked a sleeper bus with two beds! (1,300 INR/person). Departure at 9 PM from Hospet, theoretical arrival at 4 AM (for us, it was 6 AM) in Canacona, then a 20-minute tuk-tuk ride to Agonda. Comfortable bus with real berths, but the many speed bumps made sleep difficult... The train would have been much longer and more complicated to reach Agonda.

Agonda: Accommodation: New Common Home (35 €/night): Business-like welcome. Decent and fairly large room, rustic bathroom. Breakfast included in the price—it was okay. We only booked one night to choose accommodation afterward, right on the beach. But we didn’t account for the Indian national holiday at the end of the week—everything was fully booked... We found Saxony (44 €/night) at the far end of the beach (left when facing the sea), but only for 2 nights—after that, it was reserved... Decent room, average bathroom, but a beautiful terrace facing the sea. Then 2 nights at Agonda Holiday Home Stay (36 €/night), not on the beach: Very average, bathroom in poor condition, almost no view—but it was all that was left... Restaurant: The Rhino for dinner (not on the beach): Excellent tandoori, chicken tikka, and masala. Great value for money. Cool and friendly atmosphere. Agonda is a beautiful, long, quiet, and family-friendly beach for relaxing, with lovely walks to take. Beautiful sunset!

Mumbai: Trip from Agonda to Mumbai: Flight: We chose Vistara because the departure was in the late afternoon, while Indigo offered flights very early or very late. Bad choice... because this Vistara flight leaves from Mopa Airport, at the very north of Goa state. And from Agonda, it’s a 3-hour taxi ride... (3,700 INR...) **Always check which airport your flight leaves from to reach Mumbai!**

Mumbai: Accommodation: Broadway Hotel Bombay (39 €/night): Very well-located hotel in Colaba, on a street perpendicular to the busy main road. Ask for quiet rooms... Friendly, helpful, and accommodating staff. Very small room with a tiny window and little space to put bags or move around... Small but clean bathroom. Mumbai is expensive for accommodation, and cleanliness often leaves something to be desired... Restaurant: Delhi Darbar, very close to the hotel on the main street. Good, clean, not too noisy... and good value for money. Sightseeing: Mumbai is a bustling city, but the traffic is completely chaotic, and the horn often replaces the brake... The architecture is quite unique and worth a look, with some must-see visits: Crawford Market and its surroundings... Null Bazar and Chor Bazar, where poverty and dirt are quite present... Mani Bhavan: Gandhi’s house in Mumbai, with a very special atmosphere... Balbunath Temple, with its religious fervor. The beautiful Jain temple (Walkeshwar Mandir), where the atmosphere is very different from other temples and full of serenity. The Dhobi Ghats, the laundry district—very impressive. For a few hundred rupees, a "guide" will take you through these washhouses and thousands of clothes. Banganga Tank: A basin surrounded by ghats with a village-like (but quite poor) atmosphere, where Indians come to pray. The dabbawallahs: Their departure around 11 AM and the transport by bicycle of hundreds of lunchboxes from Churchgate Station. **Note:** It’s not easy to find them—we almost missed them, as it seems to be disappearing. They’re on the other side of the road where taxis usually drop you off for Churchgate Station, under some trees. They’re recognizable by their white attire and a crowd. Few passersby seemed to know about them... All these visits can be done easily by taking taxis, which are really cheap—**as long as they agree to use the meter.**

So here are some great tips to share, knowing that every trip is unique, and India remains a magnificent, often disconcerting, elusive country that challenges you. It’s unlike any other country we’ve visited but so fascinating... Good luck with your preparations, and if you need more info, don’t hesitate! I really regret that the new 2024/2025 South India GDR only includes Mumbai for Maharashtra and nothing else... and nothing on Karnataka or Goa. These states don’t seem to be selling points for the GDR anymore... Guy

Bonjour à tous,

Cela fait longtemps que je lorgne du côté de l'Inde mais je ne me suis jamais senti prêt ... mais là ce serait peut-être le moment.😊 Après avoir hésité entre le Radjastan et l'Inde du Sud c'est finalement le centre qui a retenu mon attention. Je l'imagine moins touristique et je suis tombé sur des photos d'Ellora qui m'ont énormément plu 🙂.

En cherchant j'ai trouvé un axe, une logique: faire Mumbay - Delhi, avec de multiples arrêts.

Voici ce que cela donnerait, j'ai mis en gras les lieux qui m'inspirent le plus. Mumbay Ellora Ajanta Mandleshwar mandu Sanchi Khajuraho Panna NP pour faire un safari ... avec l'espoir de croiser un tigre Orchhad Gwalior Agra New Delhi (plus pour rejoindre un aéroport international)

Qu'en pensez-vous ? Je dispose de 13/14 jours max. J'aurais bien aimé glisser quelques trajets en train, entre quelles étapes est-ce possible? intéressant ?

Au niveau climat: Octobre, février ou Avril selon vous ?

Comme je ne connais pas du tout, tout autre conseil, renseignement sera le bienvenu

Merci d'avance Max

Bonjour, Et oui, j'ai commis une erreur depuis déja vue sur les forums du net: J'arrive à Delhi le 30 juillet 2020, un jeudi matin (09h35, vol Air India), et je pensais bêtement visiter le Taj Mahal le lendemain matin, mais voila, c'est fermé le vendredi, tous les vendredis... On est une famille de 5, deux adultes et 3 ados-jeunes adultes, et on a réservé une voiture avec chauffeur pour notre séjour en Inde. Celui çi nous attendra à l'aeroport Indira Gandhi, et nous partirons directement pour Agra.. Entre formalités administratives (nous aurons des evisa, il faut que je m'en occupe), recupération des bagages et trajet en voiture, pensez vous qu'il est raisonnable d'envisager une visite du Taj Mahal en fin de journée, genre 16h? Merci pour vos réponses!

Bonjour à tous, Je prépare mon voyage au Gujarat en mars et suis à la recherche d'hôtel sympa à Junagadh. J'y serai en pleine holi et préfère donc réserver avec un peu d'avance. Maxi 2000Rs la nuit, merci de votre aide. Indianement. Jérôme

Bonjour,

Je pars dans 1 mois au Rajasthan, nous avons opté pour un circuit que nous avons organisé nous-même. Ma question est :

Quel est le plus intéressant niveau tarif : - Réserver à l'avance une voiture avec chauffeur pour toute la durée du circuit ? J'ai vu des tarifs de 350 à 550 € pour 12 jours sur différents forums... 🤪 - Ou bien réserver directement à l'hôtel pour le lendemain ?

Merci.

Bonjour,

Voilà, je n'ai pas de smartphone, ni d'Iphone, et ne désire pas en acheter un.

Seulement voilà, pour les achats sur le web, il est souvent demandé un certicode, que l'on reçoit par sms...Mon tél est à carte prépayée, il ne marchera pas en Inde, ni même pour recevoir un sms.

Ma question est donc : lors de vos achats sur le web en Inde (essentiellement pour des achats de vols intérieurs sur des low cost, ou achats de billets de trains, avez-vous eu besoin d'entrer un tel code de sécurité ? Certains sites le demandent, d'autres non.

C'est quand-même fou cette société dans laquelle il devient de plus en plus compliqué de ne pas avoir de smartphone !

Autre chose, ce matin j'ai demandé à ma banque (La banque postale) à souscrire à My French Bank (frais de retrait nuls à l'étranger), mais il faut obligatoirement un smartphone ou Iphone (j'ai une tablette, ça ne suffit pas)...J'avais ouvert un compte Nickel, je n'ai jamais réussi à activer la carte...si vous avez une solution pour ces cartes à moindre frais, je suis prenneur !

Merci et bonne journée,

Stéphane

bonjour..nous désirons aller en Inde au GUJARATH en novembre 2019. Il y a eu un cyclone (?) important en juin2019. Peut on raisonnablement aller dans cette région depuis Mumbay ?

Bonjour, Je cherche un chauffeur fiable pour le Rajasthan, anglophone ou francophone, je voyage seule, alors si vous avez eu une bonne expérience avec un chauffeur, n'hésitez pas à me donner ces coordonnées. J'arrive à Delhi le 31 janvier 2020 , je pourrais aussi partager un taxi avec une autre personne. Merci

nous souhaiterions visiter le rajasthan palais désert en voyage organisé qui connait une excellente agence locale ou française à nous conseiller ? MERCI
