Delhi-Mumbai-Goa-Kerela in 15 Days? Mission Impossible?

Hey all, I have a little problem of always being optimistic with time!

Lol - I want to go to India in February 2010 for just over 2 weeks. There is a wedding in Goa for 3 days (11th-13th Feb) so we will need to be in Goa for that.

The plan was to fly in to Delhi and fly out from Cochin (Kerela).

We were going in from Delhi becasue my BF insists on seeing the Taj Mahal. I am equally excited about spending time in Kerela.

However now that ive started looking at the map properly, I'm thinking that its simply not possible to to travel that stretch of West India in 15 days. SO the options are:

1. Delhi - few days in Delhi and Agra. Internal flight to Mumbai. couple days in Mumbai. Train/Coach to Goa. Boat from Goa to Kerela.

2. Delhi - few days in Dehli/Agra. Train/Coach to Mumbai. Few days in Mumbai. Remaining time in and around Goa.

3. Delhi - few days in Delhi/Agra. Coach/Train to Mumbai. Couple days in Mumbai. Couple days in Goa. INternal Flight from Goa to Kerela.

I really dont know what to do! I would love to see the entire region but it would be helpful if I could get some opinions on whether that would just be too stressful for 15 days.

THanks All in advance!






Answer :
Hi Chi!!! Welcome to India (in advance ;))

Mission Possible is the smallest possible answer.

I am assuming you are arriving in Delhi. If not plan to do so.

Day 1: Acclimatise to the India (literally that is) and do some sightseeing in Delhi.
Day 2: Take an early train to Agra. Do the sightseeing full day and then checkin for an overnight stay.
Day 3: Go to Mathura to visit Vrindavan which happens to be a Hindu religious site of great importance. Return back to Delhi for an overnight stay.
Day 4-6: Arrive at Goa. Take an early morning flight to Goa direct (honestly you can give Mumbai a miss as there is not much to see I mean in a short time and not to rush through).
Day 7: Take an early morning train to Kerala. Prefer a day train to wow the scenic journey through the Western Ghats (till Mangalore). You take a train to Ernakulam Jn. This will be your railhead. You should arrive after a 15hrs approx. late night of the same day. Rest for the night.
Day 8-9: Go to places you want to like the boathouses in backwaters of Alappuzha (Alleppey). Leave late evening of Day 9 to Kumarakom near Trivandrum. Its a nice beach. But I would recommend you head to the hills of Munnar.
Day 10-12: Enjoy in Munnar or Kumarakom which ever you choose.
Day 13: Take an early morning flight from Kochi (Cochin) or Trivandrum depending on your choice of destination (Munnar or Kumarakom) for Mumbai. You should reach Mumbai by mid-day.
Day 13-15: Do sightseeing in and around Mumbai (like Mahabaleshwar, Lonavla & Mumbai city itself).
Day 15: Take the flight from Mumbai to your destination (assuming you are from US of A) you could take various connections like Mumbai- Dubai- JFK or Mumbai- Amsterdam- New York or other destinations in USA).

Good luck and have a gala time!!!

I would again say this........ plan to spend as little time in Mumbai as possible. You can use that time at Agra and in Kerala. Trust me... you wont curse me atleast!!! Heheheheheh!!!!
