India – Tour a visit to India
From
the foothills of the Himalayas to the backwaters of Kerala, the slums of
Calcutta or the ashrams of Rishikesh, the ghats of Varanasi to the beaches of
Goa . . . India will fascinate, shock and excite.
Fascinating
with its myriad cultures, its penetrating smells and colours, its intensity of
life, its many Gods and temples, the people, food, and religious fervor.
Shocking with its open sewers, poverty, noise, filth, scams, and stares.
Exciting with its chaotic traffic, tigers and lions, holy and un-holy men, its
food, its drugs, its mountains and beaches, its jungles and deserts, and its
religious and erotic temples.
India
is a country of extremes where you will see the whole spectacle of life played
out before your eyes, uncut, uncensored, and unashamed. You will encounter
death, birth, possibly rebirth, and see people washing clothes, bathing,
crying, laughing, and probably squatting for a bowel movement. All in the first
day.
This
country has a history dating back to time immortal, a religion that encompasses
hundreds to thousands of Gods, and a population that will soon surpass China
despite being less than half the latter’s size. It brought forth the romantic
tale and architecture of the Taj Mahal, Ghandi, and the number zero, and let’s
face it, the world would be a very different place if those three had never
been.
There
is no country as diverse as India, so strap on your seat belt for the wildest
travelling roller coaster experience around this incredible sub-continent. You
will love it or hate it, but you’ll not forget it.
India
is spicy, it is dicey, and if you are not careful it will be very, very pricy.
Beware of touts and scams!
