This escape plan was planned during the Chinese New Year of 2011. We wanted to go to places where the festival is not being celebrated for fear that the entire place would be dead due to the festivities. So we chose India and Nepal so that we can also visit one of the new Wonder of the World, the Taj Mahal
As much as I tried to get 3-4 stars hotel accommodation, we had to spend quite a bit of the VISAs for India, which had to go through some local agent to get it done (Nepal is VISA on arrival). We had gotten the better seats on train for the day trip to Agra and also a return flight to Nepal (which is cheaper to do so flying from Delhi compared to Singapore), and Nepal tour arranged through a local agent.
We managed to get around Delhi by taxi and in Nepal, those were managed by pre-arranged tour agent. Stayed near the train station for the early train to Agra.
Visa for India was a pain to arrange.
