Hi Friends -
My husband and I will be travelling to India for our belated honeymoon in November. We will be arriving in Delhi, looking at doing the golden triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur) then going to Jai Salmer and Aurungabad. Currently, for our last week there, it's a toss up between heading to a tiger sanctuary, the Andaman Islands or Darjeeling-Shillong afterwards? (I know, big differences geographically)
We are looking for recommendations for any of those plac… See more

Although alluring the golden tri is a shit show. Full of scammers and tourists. Spend the smallest amount of your trip there if at all. Hampi and southern india were absolutely amazing. Trains are cheap fairly safe and quite reliable.

Check out On The Go tours Emily! They can build custom tours if you don't want to be in a group. But group rates are always more affordable. Short stays too only a few days.

Hi Emily
I travelled for a month through India January 2016. I went with the Victoria Women's travel group.
First time there and came home with over 1700 photos and incredible memories.
Stayed at the Metropolitan in Delhi. Would recommend you do the Old Dehli tour with trip advisor. Be prepared India is amazing but a complete Masala in every sense.
I did Agra and Rajahstan. Favourite places were Jaisalmer and Pushkar.
Travelled then to Cochin Kerala for another view of the country. Getting warm even the end of January so you should be fine.
Enjoy!! I loved it!

Andamans have some beautiful coral reefs and snorkeling. I hear Sikkim is beautiful but again distant.
