oh wells.

Yes, in case you are wondering, i am still jobless. :(

Out of boredom, I've decided to plan for my next backpacking trip. Initially, i thought of going to Morocco cause of it's exotic-ness and also due to the fact that it is really cheap to travel within the country. OK, the main reason is to experience the richness of the culture Morocco has to offer(now, that's more like it). However, i doubt i can gather enough funds so i decided to look for a place somewhere close to home.

Indonesia? Yes, I've been there twice. Loved it. But this time round i wanted something different. I wanted to go somewhere i would be lost in the rich culture and language of the country.

Ran through some airfare search to Australia. Ouch! Way out of my budget.

Suddenly, it occurred to me. INDIA!(OK, bluff you again. Mama was the one who suggested it) This could be it. YES YES. KASHMIR. Even during summer, the temperature would be cold but bearable(for us Singaporeans). Besides, there are lots to see in Kashmir or Northern India for that matter. Just wiki 'Jammu and Kashmir' on wikitravel. Vast lands stretching as far as the eye can see, mountains with snow-capped peaks, lakes that are probably the size of Singapore(maybe twice or thrice). Now, how can anyone not want to go to a place like this?

So after countless clicks on Abah's spanking-new laptop(hehe!), i came out with 3 rough itineraries. it looks good to me. I've 3 route options to choose from ranging from $1233 to $1963 nett for a 26 days trip. I love the latest itinerary that i just finished doing roughly an hour ago(the cheap cheap $1233 one). It basically just covers Northern and North-east India (Delhi+Kashmir+Sikkim) . Main highlights would be Taj Mahal at Agra(DUH!), Rohtang pass, Leh, Gulmarg, Youmthang Valley andGurudongmar lake.

Everything will be budget-budget, cheap-cheap. Haha!

We've got about a year to save up. Any takers?

I think i can be a freelance travel planner. So those people reading my blog, in the future, if you need someone to custom plan your honeymoon or whatever, please find me. I won't charge much and i don't bite. haha!
