Well, it's a tough choice, I'd vote for a 10-22 and a 17-55 since at those focal lenghts you would be taking 70-90 % of the shots anyways, although a 70-200 f4 comes in handy at times, so if you can carry it, it's worth it indeed..[/quote]
That's exactly why I'm thinking about the 55-250 IS instead of the 70-200/4 IS. I'm not sure how much I'll be using it so the diminutive size and weight is a big plus.

And a netbook is great to make backups at a hotel, and google some info during the travel when you need it..[/quote]
That's what I was thinking. I can also burn the pictures to DVD (do NetBooks have that ability?) and sent it to Israel as a backup.

If I may make a recommendation about your trip, make sure you spend some time in Varanasi, it's a world on it's own.. If you find some time you might stretch for a trip to Nepal since it's close from there, a different, more trekking oriented trip, but also very much worth the time and effort <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I've heard many people say that Varanasi and Dharamsala are places I should not miss so it's very likely I'll go there. Taj Mahal is another sure spot I'm sure to go. Nepal is also an option I'm seriously considering. Don't laugh but the problem is that I have too many choices.
