Our train from Varanasi to Satna was delayed by two hours. This was incredibly difficult for me, because I didn't get too much sleep the night before, having arrived in Varanasi at 4:45am. The train was supposed to arrive at the Varanasi station at 11:20pm... didn't show up until 12:20am. I was having major difficulty staying awake. But the trai...

Endelig India! Vi har hatt saa mange forventninger, og nyter alle fargerike sarier, store templer og braakete gater til det fulleste. Alle har advart om hvor skittent og kaotisk det skulle vaere her, men vi greier oss bra saa langt. 3 mnds reise herder kanksje litt. I gaar var vi og saa et Kama sutra-tempel. Vi hadde en indisk gudie paa sikkert ...

It did not start well. I was supposed to leave Varanasi at 7pm to arrive at Satna at 3am, wait 2h to take the bus and arrive at Khajuraho at 8:30am. Thanks to the confusion on the train, I managed to miss my stop and had to wait for the next stop, 4h away. It is so upseting to watch by the window knowing that you'll have to do all the way back a...

Namaste and Merry Christmas again, da in Allahabad kein Internet cafe USB hatte (obwohl Allahabad eine Lernstadt ist, massenhaft Schulen) und ich auch gestern groesstenteils im Bus/Zug verbracht habe (mein Heiligabend bestand darin Last Christmas von Wham! auf meinem iPod zu hoeren:-), konnte ich gestern leider kein Update versenden. Dafuer heut...

Hello, Had a great time in Khajuraho and felt really chilled and relaxed, and we managed to stay in a hotel (Surya) that had a hot shower which was great. When we first arrived we were hassled by a few touts, the one that picked on me everytime I left the hotel was called Ricky Martin, altought I am slightly suspicious that he may have been lyin...

Our flight out of Khajuraho was in our Indian experience timely and without incident - it was only an hour late, again. The airport was over-run wih travellers from Fance, Brazil, USA, UK and 'us' Indians. The departure 'lounge' was way too small to accomodate the crowds of the uninitiated and we could sense the fustration and pregnant expectati...

Hopped on another JetAirways flight after our interesting trip from the guest house. This time it was about 1 hr late which didn't seem to be out of the ordinary for anyone at the airport. We moved up to the 5* Taj Chandela here mostly because I couldn't find much information on other places. It's a big beautiful hotel with large spacious rooms,...

The Kama Sutra temples were definitely eye opening... things you would never believe were possible - wait till you see the pictures which I promise I will try and download soon (but at this rate it will be when I get back home as it's so slow here!). After a morning of that I needed a lie down... I think the pasta I had for lunch didn't agree wi...

Hi, Today I took a bus to Khajuraho (five hours) and I was the only tourist in the bus. I arrived in Khajuraho at 16.00 pm and took a room in hotel Surya for 275 rp per night. In the evening I had a dinner at Raja's cafe which is in front of the temple complex. I also saw the sound and light show at the western temples. The show documents the hi...

Goa-Bombay-Jhantsi-Chatarpur-Khajuraho Sleeper Bus-Train-Very Crowded Bus-Jeep 3 Days of Travel. We made it just in time for the Khajuraho Festival of Dances. Thank goodness for the train, where we had other travellers and some nice young India boys seated next to us and at least Tina got a decent sleep. The bus here I found to be brutal because...
