LOL - yes, I meant bugs! Buses are fine. In fact, we had a blast on the public bus we rode in Old Delhi.
Oh my gosh. Really? South India? I just might! My plans for next year are very up in the air. My new friends from the India trip want me to visit them in Australia for a reunion, and one of the women has suggested we go to Morocco. But I might consider it. If you're serious, email me: [email protected].
(Misty, sorry to hijack your thread. More, please. Looking forward to the Nepal portion!)

Mistygirl, i LOVE your sympathetic and description of the village life and people on your way to Ranthambore. Those villages, the workers, so unlike anything in our own little worlds...
LOL re the weddings. The loudspeakers,booming music and songs, broadcasting to an entire town. Were you awoken anywhere at 5 am by early morning prayer broadcasts and booming sounds to wake up the populace?

Great trip report on Punjab, Mistygirl!
Good to see Patiala emerging on the tourist map, with the Neemrana Rajindra Kothi located in the heart of the greenbelt. There is enough, in the way of sightseeing, in the old city, the Gur Mandi (jaggery market); Utensils market, juttian-wala-bazaar (native shoe market)etc.The Gymkhana club right outside of the hotel where one could have a game of squash or tennis; Patiala boasts of one of the finest private shotgun ranges; an aerial joy-ride over the city at the local aviation club is also being planned. The Yadavindra Public School is ever willing to show school to visiting teachers & professors; Occasionally, the Ambassadors Cup Polo tournament is organised with high tea. The opening ceremony re-enacts the Sikh Cavallery charge at full gallop, like they did in days of yore, just adds to the variety!
