Afghanistan Travel and Tour Guide
India tour
If you wanna to India tour then never forget to see Taj Mahal
Agra Monument to Love, Mughal Architecture
1st Ajuba in the world
The Taj Mahal attracts above three million visitors a year, all deeply moved by its romance and beauty and the amazing skills of 17th century Mughal craftsmen.
Located on the bank of the Yamuna river, three km south of Agra, the Taj Mahal took 22 years to complete at a cost of trillions of dollars by today’s currency. Twenty thousand men and over 1000 elephants were working on the project, using material from India and Asia, as far as China and Afghanistan.
The Taj Mahal was declared a World Heritage site in 1983 and measures are in place to protect it from pollution. Tourist coaches and cars are kept well away from the gate and access is on foot or by electric vehicle.
Taj Mahal, Agra Monument to Love
India’s top World Heritage site was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his favourite wife, Mumtaz begum, who died aged 38, giving birth to their 14th child. She had never left her husband’s side, even during his military campaigns, and the inconsolable Emperor promised he would build the most beautiful mausoleum ever seen.
True to his word, Emperor Shah Jahan set to work with his first architect to design the world’s most celebrated monument to love. Later, deposed and imprisoned by his son in Agra’s red fort, the Emperor gazed from afar at the marble dome mirrored in the river, grieving until the day he died. He now rests with Mumtaz in the Taj Mahal.
Beautiful Taj MahalCovered in white marble, inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones, a stunning display of floral and geometrical patterns, Arabic calligraphy. Raised on a plinth, it is topped by a white onion dome and framed by four minarets, detached from the mausoleum to minimize damage in an earthquake.
A day is barely enough to appreciate the fine Mughal craftsmanship, from latticed marble screens to decorated archways, from pietra dura to gilded finials. Inside, visitors gaze in silence at the imperial cenotaphs placed above the actual tombs The magnificent entrance gate faces the mausoleum, some 275 meters away, while to ensure symmetry, the red sandstone mosque on the west side of the gardens is mirrored by a replica rest house to the east.
Taj Mahal Garden
Like all Mughal Emperors, Shah Jahan was fond of gardens. Laid out in classical style, the Taj Mahal Persian Gardens are said to symbolise the four rivers and garden of Paradise. Leading to the mausoleum at the far end, they are divided into four sections, a holy number in Islam, each one subdivided into 16 beds. English lawns have replaced many of the original fruit trees and shrubs but the symmetry and feeling of space remain breathtaking.
Water channels and fountains enhance this peaceful oasis, regardless of crowds, while the central pool reflects the mausoleum in all its splendour. The gardens are enclosed by red sandstone walls on three sides but open towards the river.

Not a problem, fly with Emirates Airlines. They are the best and will look after you throughout your journey including the two and a half hour stopover in Dubai.
What’s included
•At the time of booking, parents can let the airline know what kind of seat and meal their child prefers and we will be pleased to make the arrangements. We’ll even prepare a cake if your child is travelling on his or her birthday.
•For children travelling alone, they provide separate check-in facilities on departure, with dedicated Emirates staff to accompany them to the aircraft. Parents or guardians must present the child for check-in at least two hours prior departure.
•Unaccompanied Minors and Young Passengers are always boarded before other passengers, so that the cabin crew can seat them and stow their hand baggage.
•Upon special request, they will be happy to take Polaroid photographs of your child on board the aircraft, as time permits.
•In Dubai, for the stopover, there is a dedicated Emirates' Special Handling Unit that can take care of unaccompanied minors, including refreshments and hygiene facilities with carefully trained staff available to take care of every need..
•On arrival at destination, an Emirates employee will meet all unaccompanied children at the aircraft door and help them through formalities before handing them over to their designated guardian.
Enjoy your holiday with your cousin

Unfortunately it's 10 years since I backpacked in India and I can't remember what I paid for anything although I have very fond memories of a lot of aspects of the trip.
If you go to the Lonely Planet website, select India and then look at the Money section, it'll tell you roughly what to expect to budget for, per day. Alternatively, search through their Thorn Tree section on India and check out other people's questions & answers. Add a bit on for drinks (although they are cheap, they eat into your budget), a bit more sightseeing than you might expect, the occassional nice meal (2 months is a long time in India) and the occassional upgrade to a nicer hotel plus the odd souvenier that you WILL buy, despite any intentions not to. Note that a tiger safari could be expensive unless you can find a group to share costs with. The LP budget will be in USD, but if you divide by 2, you'll have a rough idea of the £ equivalent.
I stayed in smaller hotels, of the type where I would meet up with other foreigners, although my travels by bus and train were in with the locals, otherwise why bother going.
Not exactly cost related but…
When travelling from place to place, 2nd class sleeper (soft) is perfectly adequate and comfy – but on some busier routes expect to have the carriage taken over by hordes of people who will sit anywhere they can find a space…which you can't blame them for, but it makes for a disturbed nights sleep if it happens to be on the end of your bed. I had one nice man telling me that I could put my legs in his lap – but he wasn't moving off my (top) bunk. Equally, by interacting and by chatting, half the carriage knew where I needed to get off – and made sure that I did when the train pulled into Aurangabad 2 hours earlier than I'd expected (and I was asleep).
If you go from Hampi to Goa (or indeed anywhere to anywhere) on a touristy overnight sleeper bus, make sure you get a bottom bunk and preferably one towards the front! You bounce around so much in the top ones and the back is just awful. I say 'touristy' but once we were all on and settled, the bus stopped and picked up approx 50 locals who proceeded to take over every available space, rather like on the trains, including perched on the edges of our bunks. Given the amount we had paid for this 'luxury' it didn't go down too well.
Don't pay someone to get you a ticket if the ticket office, especially at the train station, is busy…it'll rarely be cheaper and may end up not being the ticket that you want.
One final point – as you travel aorund you may well meet locals who ask you how much you earn. Whilst this may seem rather rude to us, it is a social indicator in India and determines roughly where you fit in to the class system. I always knocked quite a lot off my salary…but also proceeded to compare costs with my questioner – how much do they pay for rent compared to my mortgage? how about water, gas & electricity?, tax for sweeping the streets & maintaining lighting (is council tax)? travel to work? basics such as bread, milk, meat etc. That way I could show that, whilst I earned a lot compared to them, my outgoing costs were similarly large. I was only stumped when I was asked, as a comparison, how much a sack of grain would cost? – I had NO idea.
And a very final point – have a fantastic trip.

If you get US citizenship it's REQUIRED that you enter and leave the US on a US Passport. There are no exceptions. Failure to use a US Passport are grounds for you to lose your citizenship.
You can get a passport in just a day or two. If you can't go to a regional passport office, and stand in line all day to get it, you'll find plenty of private companies, for about $400, who will do it for you.

Group tours for India travel operated mostly by international tour operators. There are few companies in India which operate group tours from October to March. There are few companies which operate locally but you must ask them for specific dates. Here are some companies

Well you are in a situation which most parents face. As you said, she's 21 and an adult and there's nothing you can do but support her which is what you should do since you're her father. If you try to stop her you may end up in more trouble, she may come to resent you if this is something she is really certain of. Children learn from their own mistakes. As far as meeting a person online is concerned; love just happens. To be honest India is not portrayed well in the USA. People will say bad things about another country for obvious reasons (racism). Every 2 years I visit India, I've been there 11 or 12 times now. States like Goa, Bombay, Kerala, Ooty, Maldives and Punjab are some of the coolest places to live in India, the crime rate is just 10%. If she is going to any of these then it is the safest thing to do. A foreign woman can even go out alone at night without having to worry about anything. There is record of only 4-5 foreigners getting raped in the last 10 years mostly due to their own mistakes. India is a very safe place. Since you wrote that that man is sending her money then obviously he's a gentleman because Indians don't spend money that easily even if they want a green card. Also Indians do not divorce their wives, it is a life-long commitment for them. My own daughter has married an Indian man and they are staying in Bombay which is a very developed state that is better than even NY. If you are uncertain about this guy you can ask your daughter to get photocopies of his passport or driver's license. These are the biggest proofs of identity in India,much like a US social security card. If he is an educated man than he is not after a green card. All Indians who immigrate legally and illegally are under graduate educated persons.
You mentioned a fiance visa; they will have to meet in person and have photographs taken in order to show it to the consulate. For him to get a US visa it would be difficult. After 9/11 the US tightened their rules considering this and if he were to be rejected he wouldn't be able to travel to any country for up to 10 years. As somebody said previously, she will need your support; be with her in her happiness. Let her live her life.

How old is your baby? I know of people who traveled with their 6 month old babies.
But before you go to India meet with your Doctor get all the required vaccinations that are required for traveling. Also get the vaccination that babies require. Some of them can be given ahead of time and the other you can get done in India. Take the name of the vaccinations from your doctor so that you can ask your doctor in India to give those vaccinations. You get the same medication in India too.
Time of the year – This is a good time Dec-Jan). It should be winter in India too. If you plan to go to Chennai…it is humid all year round.
Read this link too for many other advices..

Namaste….Yes the trains are quite good through Rajasthan. They will be easy to book throughout summer as it does get very hot there. you might want to consider heading North to Himatchel or U.K. or U.P. There are some beautiful spots to see up there as well. Enjoy your journey. _/_
