Journey To the West

1.       Ayodhya – the birthplace of Rama
Excuse: I have just started reading The Ramayana and it is rude to go there without even understanding the epic. Hahaha…

2.      Allahabad – the confluence of three holy rivers – The Ganges, The Yamuna & The Saraswati
Excuse: Kumbh Mela is over; hardly find anyone to share a boat to go to the confluence

3.       Chitrakut – mini Varanasi
Excuse: Refer Varanasi

4.       Gwalior – the spectacular hilltop fort
Excuse: Fort-sick. There are so many hilltop forts in India. Hahaha…

So I bought an overnight train ticket from Varanasi to Khajuraho, bypassing all the above-mentioned places.
