The story

First big adventure trip!! 4 strapping young lads with packs on our backs, British Airways flight via London to Delhi and back from Bombay!! It was a real adventure... luggage lost right on arrival! 3 days to spend in Delhi with nothing!!! The airline was obliged to reimburse us, and with that money we treated ourselves to the luxury of paying for an off-road car with a driver in tow! We choose the route and he takes us there. The Zano (aka Laura) decides everything, and with her inseparable Lolly she leads the whole group (Thomas, la champ (aka Laura again) and me, of course). We set off from Delhi to see Agra and the famous Taj Mahal... a true wonder...

a place full of spirituality.....and above all with no beggars following us......then we set course for Rajasthan, all wonderful places.....but what a slog of a holiday!!!!!! Poor hygiene everywhere, eating only Indian food which after a while you can't stand anymore!!!! All in all a lovely holiday but stressful from many points of view... antimalarials included...... Perhaps the advice I'd give is to go either on an organised tour or at least with a good budget so you only go for the TOP, both hotels and restaurants. Anyway, NAMASTE to everyone! Max
