This was my first trip alone - I travelled all around India for four months. I was a little naive, but no harm came to me and I met some good people along the way. This picture of Varanasi (Benares) is by me. if you want to use it for any other purpose than a postcard, I'd be glad if you let me know on my VT email -thanks!
In the process of looking out my photos, I have found the notes I kept about my route. I made a note of each hotel I stayed in, how much it was, and what I thought of the quality. I'll be glad to pass on my tips to anyone who mails me, though I'm not sure how much use they'll be more than a decade on!
Still, here follows my route. Keep visiting this page if you have any interest in these places, because I've got billions of photos and it's really nice to finally be able to share them along with my memories of the places (my friends are bored sick by now).
