The tourist thingy is mainly a tour with own vehicle, driver and guide. Any suggestions along the way would be very much appreciated. There may be some flexibility along the way, ie trade-offs. It would be nice to meet a member or two as well if they are in the region(s) and/or available. I have deliberately left off the actual dates of travel under discussion on the public board. To make plans for any meeting it should be one on one arrangements. *** Day-01: Arrive Delhi and transferred to the hotel. Overnight in Delhi.
