I'm taking some leave w/o pay come Feb to go backpacking around South India in an effort to escape this here chilly winter.
I was thinking of flying into Mumbai, then looping up to the caves of Ajanta and Ellora. From there west coast, Goa and down to Kerela (vague I know, especially since they're pretty big distances) ....
I'll probably fly out of Kochi.
I've got 4-6 weeks to play with.
Who's been?
Where should I go - specific towns?
Travel tips (general) (and for single white female)?
Food tips?
I went to Goa this year, but just spent 10 days drinking Kingfisher on the beach. This time I actually want to get some culture (as well as sun).
Also, I'll probably try to sublet my room in Brixton for a reasonable price, so if anyone knows someone looking for short-term accomodation, please let me know.
