India Travel Itinerary

This is our planned travel itinerary for five and a half months in India with about four months of volunteer work in a Children's Home.
We plant to travel for about three weeks prior to volunteering with a Children's Home in South India. We wanted to check out the sights that the Lonely Planet recommended before settling in Vijayawada.
