Take care of the leg (I can check out some good Thai doctors if you need me to) and talk soon.

Only two weeks left in India and then we're off to SE Asia starting in Bangkok. That said, we'll definitely be back in India next year and will keep the hill stations around Chandigarh in mind.

While you are travelling to south so I don't think so if you are coming back to North India or not. Visit Chandigarh and some hill stations nearby Chandigarh if you can as you wrote that you've still got more than two months. Happy journey!!!
