Do you recommend any travel agent ? What is the right time to book ?How much will it cost to travel Shimla, Manali and Agra from Delhi in the month of October ?HELLO SANDIP RAY...



YOU HAVE MENTIONED AN EXCELLENT DISCLAIMER ''BY FLIGHT TO DELHI'' SO I EXPECT YUR BUDGET TO BE A BIT ON THE HIGHER SIDE... YOU CAN TRAVEL ON SHORT TRIPS FROM DELHI TO AGRA, SHIMLA, MANALI %26amp; KULU (WHICH IS NEARBY) + ROTANKHAS...



SINCE OCTOBER IS THE MONTH WHEN THE RELIGIOUS FESTIVITIES HAUNT INDIANS, YOU CAN EXPECT A COMPLETE UNAVAILABILITY IN HOTELS ETC...UNLESS YOU PLAN TO TRAVEL JUST AFTER THE 2 MAJOR FESTIVALS ARE OVER....



MY RECOMENDATION IS BOOK SOME TRAVEL AGENT IF U'R PLANNING TO TRAVEL DURING THE FESTIVAL TIMES AS THERE IS A HUGE INFLUX OF CROWD INTO THE TOURIST AREAS IN THESE TIMES OR ELSE YOU CAN GO WITHOUT PREBOOKING...



DELHI SAY 4-5 DAYS STAY--2000/-PD FOOD--1500/-PD ==%26gt; 18,000/- APPROX



AGRA (EITHER VERY COSTLY OR VERY CHEAP NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE) --2 DAYS MAX STAY+ FOOD ==%26gt; 6000/- APPROX INCL TRAVEL FROM DEL



MANALI AND NEARBY ==%26gt; 6000/- APPROX INCL TRAVEL....



ANYCASE WHEN YOU ARE IN INDIA, BARGENING SAVES THE DAY.....



BOOK BY AUGUST IF U R PLANNING FOR SOME TRAVEL AGENT





(PERSONALLY I WOULDNT HAVE TAKEN TRAVEL AGENT CAUSE I HAVE 2 IDEOLOGIES, FIRST IF YOU HAVE MONEY YOU SHUD CARE NOT FOR ON SEASON OR OFFSEASON, ROOMS ARE FULL ONLY FOR SUPER BUDGET TRAVELLERS...SECOND , YOU CANT ENJOY A PLACE IF U GO WITH A TRAVEL AGENT... )
