• Chennai: local bus ride
• Tirupati: very sacred place for Hindu
• Kolkata: Science City (I already spent few years of my study so nothing of much importance but I visited all my place that gave me a great satisfaction

In the Train

N.B: Try to give more time for Mumbai & Goa

Preparation

• Try to take minimum cloths ofcours its the winter session but as you go from North to South its still warm in that region.
• Try to do the light travel, easy fitting cloths as your going for tour not for the party.
• daily needs - brush, paste, soap, slipper.
• SLEEPING BAG is must, in many places you will find it very useful.
• Money: as I said you can go to Himalayan bank and make a card it takes hardly an hour.

helo everybody,
thank u all so much for all those information, i am sure they will be very useful, won't they ajay? so ajay why don't you write about your experience regarding this tour, i am sure everybody will love to hear that..

[Mati]

I personally congratulate you guys organizing this tour.
This is really appreciable. In fact, it is true that the TRAVELLING BROADENS MIND AND YOUR VISION.
Last year, I had been there in AIIMS for the pulse for Two Weeks. That was so beneficial. It cannot be put into words nor it can be measured.
Get going guys.
While visiting new places: you don't simply visit the new place but people, their culture, tradition, economic status, living standard, education, facilities, the system and civilization as whole. Just be vigilant and observe ! You will learn and see so many things.
The nature is open book and civilization is there of course.
Best of Luck!
Enjoy it .
Life should be lively and vivid.

Best wishes,
mati
