I will try to make some kind of cool looking form for trip planning but the list of things to address include:

Flight Costs:
Food Costs: 
Lodging Costs:
Transportation Costs (bus, van, taxi, etc):
Immunizations Needed?:
Homestay Possibilities:
Service Possibilities:
Itinerary/Possible Activities:

The traditional basics of the trip to account for include:
* 14-16 days total
* Travel in late April-May usually
* Group size will likely be about 15-18 

One place I start for very basic travel information on a country is Lonely Planet. This has highlights for travelers, basic cost information, etc. Feel free to post questions, ideas, and insights as you do your research.
