Travel Review: Luxury Solo Trip to India, Udaipur, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Taj Mahal, Tiger Experience, Biking Tour

I might consider going at a different time of year.  January is near the height of their foggy season, which made some of the morning site seeing a bit less impressive than it might otherwise have been.  I think the biggest impacts were on the early morning safaris in Ranthanmbhore and when I went to see the Taj.  Although my guide for the Taj did everything he could to make sure we hit it at the ideal time in regards to fog, there is only so much he could do and visibility wasn't the greatest.  I also would have become a bit more familiar in the differences between buying things over there vs. back in the US.  I just wasn't used to the very individual attention you got upon entering a shop and corresponding higher pressure sales techniques.  In addition, you can barter over the price of pretty much anything.  That being said, I didn't go home with anything I didn't want.
