Preface

Holidays don’t usually start with the arrival to the destination. Getting there on one hand and making the preparations for that are essential parts of traveling. Not to forget the anticipation of the beautiful things to come.

My Indian collagues made the preparation a real excitement already. So many hints, recommendations and offers. It took several “short syncs” to transfer al the info to me and my fellow travellers. Thanks to them we made some train bookings (getting the indian train booking app as a foreigner without a +91 mobile number could fill a separate post), we set off with a lot of interesting things to see, recommended first hand, but most of all we travelled knowing we always can contact a trusted person in the country, in case something would go very wrong. Thanks Kedar and Prashant.

Due to these tips there were already some milestones set, but there should be enough room in-between to explore on our own.
