You have covered so many places in 2 days. They must have been close enough to each other. It's better to put the expenses list & decipher the trip details isn't it.

Should try moving to these places from Mumbai somtime. Thanks for the details.

Well, i couldnt call them 'close' or 'far' .. but if you can hitch a ride in a truck or get an auto/bus, then its easy to jump from one place to the other.
