Travel by RAIL is the best.
It is very cheap, safe, fast and you can reach places easily. Only think it is not clean like in western countries. If you can afford you can travel by higher classes and it will be good. You can get advance reservation also and enjoy the travel...Best of Luck ...

India is well connected through excellent railway network. Travelling in trains like "Palace on Wheels" and "Oriental Express" is an unique experience you won't get anywhere else on earth. Major cities are connected through air too. Lodging in Agra and Mamba is not a problem because you get all kind of hotels. Rishikesh is full of Ashrams and Dharmshalas that allow you to stay free or with nominal donation as long as you abide by the "clean" food practises such as abstaining from non-veg and alcohol.
Beware of pick pockets at crowded places. Also stick to pre-paid, taxis at airports and railway stations.

For Rishikesh and Agra, u can make it from Delhi, it is about 5.30 hrs travel from delhi to Rishikesh, via Haridwar. Buses plight from ISBT, Delhi every 5 min and u can also have trains up to haridwar.
Agra is quiet in opposite direction.
Agra is well connected by road as well as by train. 3.00 + hrs travel from delhi. (on the way u can have a glance at Mathura, considred to be Birth place of Lord Krishna)
Then make it to Mumbai by train its about a nights travel. There daily trips are arranged by many tourist groups named as Mumbai darshan or Mumbai Safari. It is better to join them u can cover almost 80% of Mumbai's tourist spots. They will charge u a minimal (before three years it was 100 Rs.)

India is a very crowded country and is considered as an underdeveloped country. The roads are broken and dusty. Your first stop should be Mumbai, the capital. There, most people speak English do you won't have communications problem. Buy a domestic package from there to the rest of the cities your mentioned. You can save on others such as foods but don't stinge on accommodation for safety. Never put all your monies in one place, leave some in your pants, bag, hotel safe, etc.. Eat like the locals do although the foods need getting used to. Travel smart and avoid being too friendly to strangers. Oh, there are lots of petty thefs so do watch your baggages too. Keep you travel document safe and make some photocopes of them and place it in your bag, hotel safe, suitcases, etc..

Hum good questions if you want to travel at cheap price you can travel by train but for that you need time you can also take some budget class airfares if you don't have much time. For the cheap hotels you can visit the site and ask for best deals on hotels holidayclubindia.net .. tell them the places you want to visit they have good deals. bye

Air Ways or 1st Class railway.
To save on lodging in hotels, try to travel in the nights.
