My Uncle has lived in Delhi for a year. His job there ended, but they decided to send him back for one more time anyway. This time around, I’ve got some money and airline tickets have stopped hovering around the 2k mark.
So, I bought tickets (flying China Air, staying in Teipei overnight) and went up to San Francisco to get my Indian visa (surprising fast and easy) and ordered a bunch of travel books and mosquito reppellent. Now I’ve just got to get my immunizations (which is turning out to be the biggest pain ever- the only people I can find to do them are ultra pricey travel docs and I am lowly and uninsured) and get going.
I’ll be there from July 25-Oct 5 and based in Delhi. Hopefully I’ll get to travel around the country pretty widely. My only for-sure plan is that I’m going with my uncle’s friend to Nepal.
Any must-go places? Essential knowledge? guidebook reccommendations?
I’ve got a few questions- what will the weather be like (I’m used to high heat, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem). What should I wear (I’m a girl in her young 20s- theres no getting around that I’m a blonde tourist, but how can I look not too geeky?) Should I consider dyeing my hair a darker color?
