Had really good day yesterday at the National Safari Park and Zoo. Got really close to lions and both yellow and white tigers. Here is where we hope to be travelling, although only the first part, South India, has been confirmed. Coach to Cochin in Kerala, then a full day and night on a houseboat on a freshwater lake on the coast. Air conditioned car for all travelling in Kerala. Then onto wildlife reserve, a tea estate and hill station for another night. Travel back to Cochin before overnight a/c bus back to Bangalore for Easter Sunday. Planned but not yet received the tickets! Overnight sleeper train to Hampi (rather like an Indian Thebes) for a couple of nights, then sleeper train to Hyderabad. Couple of days break in Hyderabad, dropping off big luggage and laptop. Saturday – very fast overnight express to Agra. 2 full days in Agra. Again we have an a/c car for travel around N. India. Tuesday, Wednesday – 2 days in a tiger reserve, with trips to try and find really wild tigers. Friday, full day in Jaipur town. Sunday, full day sightseeing in Jodhpur. Tuesday, full day in Jaiselmar. Wednesday/Thursday, travel to Udaipur, stopping off in Jodhpur to catch up on anything we missed in first stop. Friday/Saturday morning Lots to see in Udaipur, by a lake, town with a couple of palaces and a fort (one of the palaces is an island on the lake). Saturday afternoon, fly back to Hyderabad, to meet up with Eleazer, Madhu, Mahima, and our bags. Stay with them for 1 week before BA flight back to UK on 9th May. The travel days will be leisurely, arriving in time each day for some initial exploratory sightseeing, and anything interesting en route.
