Hey Aurelia81,

I don't have too much advice as I've never been to India however I have backpacked though the area (Most of SE Asia, Nepal etc). A few friends of mine have been to India and they mostly traveled by train/bus however it really depends on how much time you have there and how much you want to see. Goa is apparently gorgeous however if I were going (assuming you have around a month) I'd really try to see some of the cities as well. Taj Mahal is a must (obviously) however I'd also want to see Delhi (for the chaos) as well as Mumbai.

Prices are cheap if you're willing to slum it a bit but clean facilities are definitely attainable for minimum $. Haggle but do it with a smile. Works much better than being a $!@$.

A good book is the Lonely Planet books - http://www.lonelyplanet.com/india In my opinion worth the money for sure. Enjoy the trip!
