Our Travel Plan

Our first option for the challenge would have been a drive through Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. Besides being extremely interesting and photogenic, this is a part of India that most people are very ignorant about. We would love to have covered this region while on the ‘challenge’. Besides, both Achi and I are very familiar with the region and could make the blog very interesting indeed. Unfortunately the time-limit and distance from the starting point doesn’t allow us this POA. Ladakh and Spiti would have made another very picturesque journey but has to be scrapped for the same reason. Finally we decided on Mumbai-Goa-Ooty-Munnar-Kodaikanal-Pondicherry-Hampi-Back to Mumbai. The list given is not our route-plan or night-halts, but the highlights of our trip. Being flexible travelers we like to keep our options open and decide our stops as we go. The above is our basic itinerary, we shall also be going to a few national parks (Mudumalai, Periyar) en route.
