6-Week Itinerary for Gujarat + Mount Abu (India)
Hi there,
I’ve mapped out a rough itinerary on this map for Gujarat (from mid-January to the end of February), starting in Mumbai and then going counterclockwise—so I’d begin with Vadodara, Ahmedabad, and Gandhinagar before heading north up to Mount Abu. I’d finish with Velavadar and then back to Ahmedabad to catch a train or flight back to Mumbai. 😊
What do you think of this 6-week itinerary? (On the map, a few points aren’t connected by lines—that means I’m not sure if I’ll go there.) I feel like even with 6 weeks, there might be too many stops, so I’d love some suggestions to lighten it up a bit.
Thanks in advance for your feedback! !
Recommendation for a driver in Rajasthan / Delhi / Agra
Hi,
I traveled to India and Nepal in March 2024 and hired a driver through an online agency. No issues—the agency was great, nothing to complain about—but it turns out that booking directly with the driver is much cheaper. Based on my conversations with him, I’m not paid or commissioned in any way; I’m just sharing this to help you save some money and recommend a good driver. So don’t hesitate to DM me if you want his contact info. I’m doing this for you and for the driver, who’d also prefer to keep a little more of the margin instead of it going to the agency.
I used his services for 10 days, and I can only recommend him—he was my guardian angel in India, gave great advice, was super reliable, and very professional. So feel free to ask me for his contact if you’re interested; otherwise, no worries! ^^
Here’s my trip if you’re curious :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you think India has changed over the last 15 years?
Hello,
There’s a big debate among travelers who are attached to India and have been visiting often, regularly, for 15 years or more.
I’ve experienced it—and still do—in every sense of the word, first as a tourist, then from the inside by living there for 12 years. I feel it has changed a lot and continues to change at a dizzying pace, year after year, almost month after month.
It all depends on how you see it, how you visit it, where you stay, etc... North or south, and so on...
The debate is open—no animosity or arguments if opinions differ. Just your own take, your personal experiences, your travel conditions, what you’ve noticed and still notice today... Let’s try to be objective, if possible, though it’s a tough exercise.
Your thoughts on IndiGo airline
Hi there,
Have you ever traveled with this airline? It seems like they have a real monopoly on some destinations and are also much cheaper.
Thank youuuu.

Questions about Tamil Nadu and Kerala
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!

Gujarat (India) - travel companion for February or March 2025
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Gujarat in early 2025.
Backpacker style, local transport, youth hostels or local hotels.
I always prioritize a few days of chilling by the water.
Just to mention, I’ve been traveling to India almost every year for the past 16 years.
I’d prefer someone based in the Lyon area, but I’m open to travelers from other regions.
For me, departure is from Lyon – arrival in Mumbai.
See you soon,
B.
Looking for travelers for India in April 2025
Hello,
I’d like to go to India, either at the beginning of March for 10 days or I have a free month between April 15, 2025, and May 15, 2025 (I know it’s far off).
If anyone’s interested, I thought, why not organize a small group and head out together—maybe 5 or 6 of us—to explore India. The idea is to spend a few days in different cities, of course (goes without saying).
😊
Trip report: 3 weeks in India in January 2024
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

How long is an unused visa for India valid?
Hi everyone,
Two years ago, I got a 5-year visa. But I had to change my plans and haven’t used it yet.
Do you think it’s still valid? I’d like to go to India at the beginning of the year.
I’ve got a big doubt. Do you know where I can find this info?
Thanks a bunch!
Filling error for an India e-visa
Hi there,
I have an e-visa valid until 11/8/24.
I’m heading back to India on 11/3 for 5 weeks, so I applied for a new 5-year e-visa.
Problem: in the visa section, I didn’t enter the number of my current visa—I put NA (not applicable).
I’ve already submitted the application and can’t edit it anymore.
I haven’t paid yet.
1) If I pay, could the 5-year visa be denied because of this NA?
2) If I don’t pay, will the application be canceled? If so, how soon?
Thanks
Asia (India, Philippines, Thailand) in mid-December 2024 for 3 weeks to a month
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Asia starting in mid-December for 3 weeks to a month, with a preference for India, which I know well.
But I’m also open to the Philippines, Thailand, Nepal... or even a completely different region like New Zealand or Australia.
I travel backpacking, on a small budget, using local buses and trains, tuk-tuks, and renting scooters to reach villages and the countryside.
I’m looking for a female travel companion to share this adventure with.
Feel free to contact me via private message.
See you soon
Rajasthan en mars et Népal en mai
bonjour à tous,
je devais partir au Rajasthan en mars dernier mais bien sûr le voyage a été reporté à mars prochain si tout va bien.
On me propose de partir également au Népal en mai 2021 (Katmandou, Patan, Dhulikel, Chitwan, Pokhara), mais à votre avis, cela ne fait-il pas un peu "redondant" avec le Rajasthan ? (pays assez proches et surtout 1 voyage en mars et 1 en mai) ?
dans l'attente de vos avis, je vous souhaite une bonne journée.

Remboursement d'un vol Kochi-Doha-Montréal avec Qatar Airways
C'est toute une saga que d'essayer d'obtenir un remboursement pour un vol de retour Kochi-Doha-Montréal avec Qatar Airways (QA) prévu originalement le 5 avril 2020 qui a été annulé, puis reporté à plusieurs reprises puis finalement annulé par moi à cause de la fameuse pandémie et le lockdown indien.
À l'été 2019, j'ai acheté un billet AR Montréal-Doha-Kochi sur le site de FlightHub.com avec Qatar Airways (A). Pour l'aller, tout est OK, merveilleux, pas de problèmes.
C'est lors de mon retour prévu pour le 5 avril que ça commence à se gâter. À cause du lockdown indien, tous les vols commerciaux internationaux sont annulés et QA annule donc mon vol du 5 avril. Au cours des quatre mois qui suivent (mai-juin-juillet-août), j'essaierai sans succès de réserver un autre vol avec QA mais à cause de la prolongation du lockdown indien et l'interdiction des vols commerciaux internationaux toutes mes réservations seront annulées. En date d’aujourd’hui (le 8 septembre) tous les vols commerciaux internationaux y sont toujours interdits, tout au moins jusqu’au 30 septembre.
En désespoir de cause, au début d'août, je décide de prendre un vol de rapatriement d'Air France Kochi-Bangalore-Paris-Montréal où j'arrive finalement le 8 août. Coût : 1555$CDN.
J'avise immédiatement QA de mon retour au Canada et leur demande d'annuler mon vol de retour avec eux et leur demande un remboursement pour la portion inutilisée de mon billet, soit un montant que j'estime à environ 500-600$CDN. Le billet original AR m'avait coûté 1478$CDN. Sur leur site web (et dans leur publicité), ils offrent 3-4 options aux voyageurs dont le vol a été annulé à cause de la Covid-19, dont le remboursement pur et simple de la portion inutilisée du billet.
Mais QA refuse de me rembourser prétextant que mon billet avait été acheté par l'entremise d'une agence de voyage, en l'occurence FlightHub.com et de m'adresser à eux pour obtenir un remboursement. Ce que j'ai fait depuis plus de 3 semaines déjà et aucune réponse de leur part, aucun accusé réception, RIEN... RIEN... RIEN. Aucune possibilité de faire une demande d'annulation et de remboursement via leur site web. Aucun moyen de parler à un être humain. QA me suggère de communiquer avec la compagnie Voyage à la carte mais encore là, aucun moyen de parler à un être humain et aucune réponse ni accusé réception à mes courriels.
Petite entourloupette de FlightHub.com et Qatar Airways : quoique mon billet ait été acheté à partir du site de FlightHub.com, sur mon relevé de carte de crédit Visa CIBC, la charge a été payée à Qatar Airways.
En désespoir de cause, je demande par écrit une rétrofacturation à VISA CIBC et aucune réponse non plus de leur part. Ça fait plus d'une semaine déjà…
Je suis désemparé…. je suis au désespoir… quoi faire d’autre ?
P.S. - Je soupçonne que Voyage à la carte s’apprête à reprendre les activités de FlightHub.com puisque cette dernière s’est placée en mai dernier à l’abri de ses créanciers. https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/2020-05-22/transport-aerien-flighthub-se-protege-de-ses-creanciers https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/flighthub-ccaa-1.5568219
Je compatis avec tous ceux et celles qui sont pris tout comme moi dans cette galère.

Recherche ma famille biologique à Nagpur en Inde
Bonjour,
Je recherche une personne se rendant prochainement à Nagpur ( Maharashtra).
En effet, j'ai besoin d'une personne pouvant faire quelques recherches à Nagpur sur place afin de retrouver ma famille biologique. J'ai quelques pistes. Je peux en parler en privé merci de se faire connaitre. L'idéal serait quelqu'un qui ai déjà des contacts là- bas.
Merci pour vos retours Vira

Renseignements sur les langues et la culture indienne
Bonjour 🙂🙂
Je voyage beaucoup ces derniers temps, et mon prochain voyage sera en Inde.
J'aurais aimé avoir des renseignements sur la culture des habitants. J'ai déjà lu par-ci par-là que c'était un peuple très ouvert d'esprit, qui prône la bienveillance, le contact et la joie de vivre.
La richesse de la vie et de l'amour est t'elle quelque chose d'important pour les indiens?
J'aurais également voulu des infos sur la langue hindi?
Merci d'avance!!!
Merci d'avance!!!
Réserver ses vols via une agence en ligne ou auprès des compagnies aériennes?
nous sommes un groupe de 6 personnes qui devaient se rendre en inde en juillet aout de cette année, avec la crise sanitaire nos vols ont été annulés.
3 d'entre nous ont réservé directement sur le site de la compagnie Lufthansa et 3 autres sur le site Misterfly.
Nous avons demandé à être remboursés, ceux qui avaient réservé sur le site de la compagnie Lufthansa ont été remboursés la semaine du départ et les autres dont je fais partie galèrent à obtenir un remboursement de l'agence Misterfly, la déduction est vite faite : pourquoi passer par des agences en ligne lorsque les compagnies aériennes font visiblement un meilleur boulot?
si quelqu'un a une solution pour activer mon remboursement je suis preneur. merci.
