Not Enough Days To Do Everything

[rz3300]

Visiting the mountains was one thing that I really missed out on. Then I start thinking about all of the other things that I missed out on, and wow you are so right, there just is not enough time in the day, and not enough days. I did see a lot of what I set out to, so it was a success, but I did miss out on some. I could have planned better, but I just wanted to see The Ganges River so that consumed two of my days that could have spent elsewhere.

I think a lot of people plan a trip to India and then realize there is so much more to do than they had originally thought. Never be afraid to plan a thousand return trips! As for your first trip, pick out things that you really love to do in general, that way you'll be comfortable in exploring.

India is a vast country with innumerable attractions. The worst mistake you can do while planning your trip is to pack too many activities in a short time. Narrow down your trip to one specific area and spare the rest for another time. Remember, no matter how long you plan to be in India, it will never, ever, be long enough.

India is a large country with vast cultural differences in each region, so there is a lot to cover and see, for which you need more than a few days if you want to see the whole country. You can plan to take your time and visit each region at different times, which would mean several trips to India, or you can plan an extended vacation and work your way from one end to another by planning well. I have only been able to cover the Northern regions thus far. I really want to go South because it has its own beauty with the mix of European influences down there.

It always seem like vacations are never long enough. If only we could do travelling forever, eh?

Whenever I travel to new places, and if I feel like I haven't explored all the places to go to, it's either I extend my vacation or I come back another time for a second visit. Even a third, or a fourth visit.

You can never see enough of all those places you mention in a single trip. The best you can do is concentrate on one or two regions in your first trip then plan another trip to visit the places you didn't explore in the first tour.

I know the feeling. I'm currently planning on backpacking through Europe, and it has so many countries, tourist spots, significant places. It is very obvious that I can't visit them all (unless I somehow won the lottery in the next few weeks), so I just make a list of things I want to see, make points so you can visit two places quickly, and when you really can't get to all the things you do want, make sure to prioritize, and start eliminating. That is the only advice I can give, unless you somehow manage to get enough money to actually travel everywhere.

If I want a nature trip, I think I would need a week for that. Easing myself out of so much stress would require total immersion in my surroundings. Trekking would probably take a day and more to appreciate the scenery and then camping out to sleep under the stars. Journeying to swim at a waterfalls will also take effort because of the terrain but the swim will wipe out the exhaustion. A walk in a public place like a bazaar or a market will be a total feast for the eyes as well.

Unfortunately, there is not enough days to do everything. But, don’t try to do everything. Just try to focus on one thing at a time. You need to focus on what is in front of you. Don’t compete with people. Compete with your self. Stop trying to do a bunch of stuff to make you look for people. Look good for your self.

You have to make a map listing every place you want to go, because they might be closer than you think and you can actually save time going to 2 or more locations in a day.

Visiting India there is most definitely not enough time to tour every city and/or place that you want to that why most people make an agenda when visiting India and stick to you to accomplish all of the viewing cities and places before their trip comes to an end!

There are many scams in India just to mention a few starting with finance scams, like majority if not all countries have and political scams and corporate scams, just to mention a few! No one country can be trusted past a certain extinct, that why I tell people to stay focused and keep your eyes and ears opened and trust no one!

I think that is something that most of us who do a lot of travelling have to deal with all the time. The fact that there is usually more things to see and do than we have time or money for on that particular trip. I find this very frustrating, but I've learned to deal with it by choosing to focus instead on the fact that now I have some things that I definitely know I want to do on my next trip.
