As we're finishing up the last of our packing, I thought I'd write the first entry in this blogg. We're setting off to India for a month, leaving cold Norway today. We've never been to India before, and needless to say, we're looking very much forward to visit the country!
We've got some plans on where to go, even though we know that things never work out as planned. Landing in Delhi, we'll be staying there for a couple of days before heading of to Agra and the Taj Mahal. After that, we've got some plans on going up to the north west, to Himachal Pradesh - to visit Dharmasala, Shimla and the McLeod Ganj where the tibetan exile government resides - and then of course a look at the monkeys: (http://www.dagbladet.no/tv/index.html?clipid=30151)
Then we're eastbound - to Nepal and Darjeeling for some sights of the mountains and to follow in the footprints of Kipling. Also we're going to try and get a taste of the world acclaimed Darjeeling tea!
Next is the sacred city of Varanasi by the river Ganges. Varanasi is considered one of the 7 most important holy cities of Hinduism, and is a site of pilgrimage both for hindis and buddhists.
From here we've got some loose plans on flying to the south of India, for some days of sun and bathing, and to visit a place called Hampi.
