Planning a Trip in India & Nepal
India & Nepal are a traveller's paradise. There is no easy way to
plan a trip to this sub-continent. A few basic guidelines are laid
down below which may be of some assistance.
The products offered offered by S.D.Enterprises Ltd in this site alone
is large enough to confuse you. First, identify the kind of product
you are looking for.
In broad terms the products can be split up into 3 main categories.
They are:-
The next item is to decide on where to go within India. Again
there is no shortcut here. Each destination is so good that you want
to visit every one of them. Our recommendation is to invest in a guide
book preferably 2 - 3. Use a library to obtain older versions. They
are good enough for planning purposes. Some of the good guide books
are: India Handbook by Robert Bradnock, India- A Travel Survival Kit
by Lonely Planet, India by Rough Guides, Southern India by Melissa
Shales, Indian By Rail : Royston Ellis for Rail travellers and enthusiasts
alike, India - No Problem Sahib: for rail enthusiasts and people who
wish to glimpse the images of India. Based on our past customers the
states of Rajasthan & Kerala have been the most popular.
The third aspect is how long to spend in each place. Again,
there is no hard & fast rule. On the whole for independent travellers,
it is advisable to spend at least 2 days in each destination. The
first day would be for orientation and getting a feel for the place.
The second day would be for visiting the monuments. For conducted
trips this may vary. Also remember, many of the cities have a number
of monuments listed. There is no written criteria stating that you
have to visit each & every monument listed. For example: If you miss
seeing a fort in one city in Rajasthan, there is no need to worry
as there is almost certainly another fort which is of a high standard
in the next Rajasthan city (unless you are a fort freak like the author
of this site).
The fourth aspect would be how much time should you allow for a
trip to India. Our only advise is to go through the sample itineraries
provided in the pages. You can certainly add time that is provided
to the sample itineraries and make up a tailor-made programme. If
you wish to cut down the time, you should be prepared for strenuous
travel and thus you must be fit enough. The links given on the
left, the right and below may be of some assistance in this process.
