South Goa via AC2 train class
Night train to Goa - Book ahead, but don't expect much. After negligible service, the stewards repeatedly returned to our cabin requesting “Baksheesh”.

Jet Airways Inflight
Air India is surprisingly the least popular of the domestic Indian airlines. How would the budget Jet Airways inflight experience stack up?

Mumbai: The 1000-Yard Stare
... 3 weeks in India should do it. After absorbing the dubious charm of inner city streetlife, expect Mumbai to trump - in aces - anything that has gone before.

Kovalam, India - Trivandrum
In the past 10 years prices have soared at Kovalam Lighthouse Beach, but it's still a relatively low-cost and chilled out destination, and well worth the experience.

It's quite a journey from the train station to the centre of Fort Kochi. If you're staying overnight, avoid the cheap accommodation options

Mumbai International Transfers
How do you kill 5 hours in Mumbai, if you don’t bhangra? We were a little apprehensive - with only 5 hours between arrival and departure.

Varkala, India
The North Cliffs of Varkala (India) comprise an 800-meter strip perched along a narrow path traversing the cliff edge. You'll need to watch your step.

Mumbai - Embrace the chaos
... but finding decent, inexpensive food in Mumbai City Fort area was more difficult than anticipated. The few up-market restaurants aren't cheap.
