When I visit multiple cities in Europe, I book train tickets online with Eurorail, and it's simple. Is it different in India?
you can rent a car & driver for delhi, jaipur & agra....the rest of the places you would have to fly to....

there are travel agencies that can help you hire a tour guide....i would not go with a group....

not too familiar with the himalayas....i would suggest a place like nainital which would be a 5 hour drive from delhi....

mumbai is the odd one out in your list of cities....there are other places you could visit unless you really want to go there....
