Okay, so I'm nearly half a year late in replying to this posting. But well, I'm headed to India in about a month's time, and I have slightly over 3 weeks to burn. I'm just wondering did you go for your trip in the end..and if you did, if you could share some of your experiences...?
I'm trying to get a reliable agent to pre-book my rail tickets, but lemme tell ya... it's one hell of a job. They may quote you the same commission rates, but heck...all the rail tickets are of different prices, for the same class! *LOL* Some of them are obviously trying to rip one off, thinking we don't know the train fares. Tough getting reliable service and help, coz I don't know who to trust.
Well, if you don't mind sharing some tips on your India trip...mail me at rosie@insurer.com .... hope to hear from you!

I did a 3 week motorcycle trip in south India on a rented Enfield 500.
The famous carvings are in the in the town of Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh. Its a quiet little village that surprisngly has an airport. Every afternoon a jet or 2 takes off and then its back to normal. The carvings are among thousands of other carvings and you have to look for them.

As a tourist in Delhi get hold of an "official" complaint card from the police. Produce it in any dispute/attempted rip off with a rickshaw driver and problems go away. Dont fill it in keep it for next time and hand it on to a fellow traveller when you leave. Regards Dave
