We finally made it to our stop and we got up with our bags on, along with all the other westerners on our train, so we knew it was the right stop. A guy that worked on the train pointed out of the window and said Ranthambore, and then asked for a tip. I don't know what he thought he deserved a tip for when we were already getting off, we told him this then got off. We got a tuk-tuk to the hotel, even though we were expecting a pick up but no one was there. The h...

The trip to Agra didn't take long and there was a prepaid tuk tuk stand at the station so it was nice and cheap to our hotel. We managed to check in and then went straight upstairs to the roof top restaurant to glimpse a view of the taj mahal that we had paid a whole 30p per night more for. The view was very good if a little smoggy from all the pollution in Agra now. I read in the guidebook that the taj mahal was turning yellow from the pollution and that it was...

As soon as we got out we were approached by countless drivers and tour operators hassling us for hotels. We walked down the main street looking for a hotel as we hadn't booked anything. There was loads of hotels but it was quite difficult as people would follow you into your hot...

We were an hour and a half late which was OK as we were due to arrive really early and we got a pre paid tuk tuk to our hostel which was on a re...

When we arrived it took ages to get through immigration, we then went down to try and get some money out of an ATM but it didn't work so got money exchanged. We went to the prepaid taxi counter and then got into a really old ambassador car and set off. From leaving the airport to our hotel, about 40 minutes, there was barely a road, all the building were dilapidated, packs of wild dogs everywhere, it smelled awful and the streets were packed with homeless, they ...
