Packing for India

..


New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanassi, Kerala, Dubai....

East via  EBay skirt/tops

3 weeks, six destinations - what to wear!  we will be exploring off the beaten track at times, although we have booked nice hotels and the Golden Triangle Excursion which provides a driver to the main attractions - so travelling in comfort to the Taj Mahal for example.  We are stopping in Dubai for a couple of nights on the way home to celebrate hubbys 60th birthday ... so I included some long sleeved tops for modesty as we want to explore along The Creek/markets - we haven't been there or about 18 years so expect some big changes.  I have packed for sightseeing, exploring and relaxing at the beach but lightweight as possible (for me - a backpacker would laught their head off!)  My stuff weighs 12kg which is fine as our allowance on internal flights is 15kg.

East silk kaftan sale, crop jeans (old favourites) East via Ebay cotton top and block print shirt

I think everything here can be swapped around.  Not sure white crops are going to survive the dust and dirt of New Delhi, but we shall see... there has been a problem with Smog due to crop burning in the region, although it has improved slightly since Diwali fireworks ended.  We have some dust masks with us just in case - and thanks to Vix for the heads up about traffic fumes when on tuk-tuks!

Update t shirts and beach wear

I am also taking Calypso once a day sun cream, paraben free shampoo/conditioner and Superdrug moisturiser, my tablet (with library book downloads to keep me occupied in-flight), selfie stick/camera. *will try uploading pics  again later.

Hubby does his packing last minute, but I can tell you, he is King of capsule wardrobes!

We're on our way next week so please forgive me if I don't comment on your blog posts for several weeks,  will take lots of pics and do some posts on our return.
