• Duration: 30 days. From the 6th of December 2012 until the 6th of January 2013
• Budget: €750 without including the flight tickets, travel insurance and visa application.
• Start and finish points: Mumbai
• Airline used: Turkish Airlines
• Modes of transportation used: Flight (From Mumbai to Udaipur), state-owned bus (Udaipur-Jaisalmer, Jaisalmer-Deshnok, Deshnok-Amritsar, Amritsar-Chandigar) and trains (all the other rutes)
• Class in the trains: 3AC (the third most expensive class), Sitting chair (they call it CC if I'm not mistaken), and the SL or Sleeper Class (quite an experience!)
• Train bookings: I did it on the train stations, avoid as much as possible the travel agents!
• Approximated distance: 7300 Km
• Company: I made the trip alone although I met some old friends in Delhi, Khajuraho and Goa, and I also did some day-trip with people I met in the hotel or train
• Weather: I went in the Indian winter, in general the weather was comfortable, between 10 and 20 degrees, although in some parts it was about 4 to 5 degrees (Varanasi was very cold) and others about 35 degrees (Patnem in Goa)
• Price per meal: It is about 100 and 200 rupees (€1 to €3), but in the places where locals eat the price is about 50 rupees (€0.7), and in the restaurants of the Indian Railway System is 22 rupees (€0.4) ;)
• Price per double room: This is very diverse, but the lowest price I paid per night was 200 rupees (€3). The most expensive was 1500 rupees (€20)
• Price per tourist attraction: about 300 rupees (€4.5). The entrance to the Taj Mahal is 750 rupees (€11) (note that Indians pay 20 rupees for that) 
• Special days: Christmas was in Varanasi, foreigners in the hotel made a little celebration. New year's eve was in Patnem and I had dinner and little party with some friends on the beach
