Second, you've got a long list of attractions for Delhi, but I find it more of an "experience" than "attraction" kinda place, so be sure to leave some time for a nice wander or two in the Old City (Chandni Chowk). One attraction missing from your list and very much worth a visit is
Akshardham, a gigantic temple just across the river and completed only in 2005 -- imagine being in a red sandstone Angkor Wat before it fell apart into ruins, and you'll have some idea of what to expect.
And third, it's going to be a pretty long daytrip to go to Jaipur and back. Many people favor the trains for Jaipur and Agra, they're faster, more predictable and rather less nerve-wracking than long drives on Indian roads, even if you're in the passenger seat.
Thanks for the recommendations. I will definatley go here. With regards to taking trains and traveling on my own. Will I be safe moving around on my own in these cities?
As for my extensive list, it is more of a wish list. I will tone it down as I plan it out a bit more. At the same time, I will allow for my travels to happen organically, I just want to know a little bit about where I should go and what I should see.
On another note, how are things in Bangkok (I am assuming your are the user on the 2bkk forums.) I hope everyone was safe after the despicable attack this new year.
