A visit to remember...
...but not necessarily for all the right reasons! Sad that you're trapped by the weather and I do hope you'll be safe on the backwaters when (or if?) you manage to board your kettuvalam. I've avoided the monsoon season on all my previous visits to India - and I think I'll continue to do so in the future too! I note that your itinerary includes Varanasi. If you don't have a guide (and I believe it adds a lot to a stay in that complicated city), I can recommend Raju Verma. You'll find his details on my recent blog [blog=1012441]. I hope the sun will shine soon - but, if it doesn't, just keep smiling!

Fond memories
Having visited India many times, I have fond memories of my time in Kerala, one of the loveliest states in the entire country. However, I didn't spot the Nilgiri Thar - maybe I should have gone in the monsoon, something I've never even considered doing! Invest in a couple of brollies and enjoy the rest of your belated honeymoon.

Thank you! I don’t think we’d recommend monsoon though - currently stuck due to all the landslides!

We are a young (ish), recently married couple off on a belated 6 month honeymoon. We will be leaving the UK at the beginning of August and plan on returning sometime in Jan (work is expecting us back the first week of Feb). We are planning on exploring India, Nepal, Burma, Laos and Cambodia depending on how long things take and how much we enjoy various areas. Elizabeth usually works in the NHS and Stephen is an engineer. Neither of us did the classic gap year backpacking so are now making the most of the opportunity to travel (much to our employers annoyance). We plan on staying in a va... full info
