Trip Report (tons of PIP!) on India

PittPurple · October 2011

So we just uploaded our pictures on FB and I thought I'd share a few (of the over 150 we put up!) here...

Our first (and last) stop on our trip was in Delhi. It was totally overwhelming! We really enjoyed Humuyan's Tomb and just the craziness of the streets. India Gate Tomb Streets

We then took the train to Jaipur which turned out to be our favourite city we visited. It was chaotic and insane but somehow more manageable. We really enjoyed Amber Fort at lot and I did some fantastic bangle shopping :-)

City Palace Streets Hawa Mahal

bangles!! Amber Fort

We then headed by train to Agra for a few nights. I have to say, the Taj Mahal was honestly one of the most amazing things I've seen... ever. It was just incredible. So serene and beautiful and perfect, I'm so, so pleased we went. There's a littler tomb nearby called 'Baby Taj' and you'll see why!

Overall, I am so, so very thrilled that we went. It was exhausting and exciting and exhilerating and overwhelming... I can't say it was the most relaxing trip ever but we didn't have any huge disasters (besides a 3 hour train ride that turned into a 10 hour odyssey! I then learned never to go anywhere without a lot of extra snacks!), we adored the food and we really loved being somewhere new and just so, so different. We were thrilled with our hotels everywhere (we did 3 star hotels) and I have worn a different set of bangles every day this week :-)

Looks like you had a great trip! I complete agree about it being a little overwhelming and overstimulating, but glad that you came away with some unforgettable experiences.
