Flying from Mumbai to Agra via Jaipur

The scale tipped in favor of the destination over the journey itself, but in retrospect, they were even. We were flying from Mumbai to Agra via Jaipur and we were the only passengers on the aircraft.

We headed up early in the morning to the airport for the Mumbai – Jaipur – Agra flight, to see some landmarks in India. We would be staying there for few days. I had been so looking forward to this trip since my first time in India. It was exciting to say the least!

Things to do in Mumbai | My unforgettable first trip to India

I watched the airline official standing by the door as he sprayed the aircraft cabin with aerosol that was too fragrant to be an insecticide. Turns out, the World Health Organization (WHO) requires airlines flying to certain destinations to deinsect. We just sat down while some passengers were still passing through the aisles looking for their assigned seats in that big airliner bound to India. This is my unforgettable first trip to India, and the things to do in Mumbai that we did.

As a solo traveler flying into a foreign country, I savor the breathtaking feeling seeing the friendly smiles of two people waiting for me as I exited the airport in Mumbai. During my month-long stay another local was going to be the Indian driver who will show me around India’s most populous city.

Namaste! This is the very first picture I had taken in India from the hotel where we stayed at in Mumbai. It is blurry but that was the scene there. It was monsoon in June so we got a lot of rains and on this day we had rain showers. When the tide is up or when it was flooding, the water would wash the garbage toward the tan buildings. I know it was not a very good sight to welcome me. But I was just so glad we arrived there safe and sound. And when it rains, I would have my hotel leisure days In India and I would look for things to do to keep me from being bored: Continue reading My Hotel Leisure Days In India | Things that Keep Me From Being Bored
