Chicken stall in Mysore

GapFiller 2023 - Two months from Delhi to Mumbai after a big loop via Agra, Varanasi, Puri, Hyderabad, Tirupati, Mysore to name just a few.
SevenUp 2023 - Two months to explore the north eastern states of India, starting and ending in Kolkata.
Hanuman 2018 - After three weeks in Sri Lanka, we took a plane to Mumbai and headed north to Delhi in five weeks. We toured the Saurashtra peninsula in Gujarat and returned to Rajasthan after ten years absence. As we were determined to see Amritsar we undertook the long bus journey from Bikaner to the Punjab stopping en route in Ganganagar and Faridkot. A bit tiring but well worth it.
South India 2015 - A two month trip from Mumbai to Chennai via the southern tip of India: we visited Goa, some sites of Karnataka we had not seen before, toured the Western Ghats, got bored in Kerala before getting our fill of temples in Tamil Nadu.
Nindia 2013 - We started and finished this trip in Mumbai, travelling via Karnataka, Hampi and Hyderabad to the shores of Orissa before heading North to Nepal where we stayed 2 months, with a long trek in the Everest region. From Kathmandu, we toured Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh before catching our plane back home.
Nindia 2008-09 - After three months in Nepal, we crossed over to India for two months, visiting Varanasi, Agra, Khajuraho, Ahmedabad and spending a lot of time in Rajasthan.
