India Travel Guide

“Melting pot” doesn’t begin get at it. India is a dizzying assault-on-the-senses of cultures, ethnicities, languages, geographies, climates, cuisines—if you need to catch your breath, you’re not alone. More than a billion people speaking over 200 languages comprise the pulsing, intoxicating, ever-so-alive subcontinent, from the snow-capped Himalayas to palm-fringed beaches, and all the deserts, plains and jungles between. Discover bazaars beside colonial buildings beside skyscrapers and slums in Bollywood-capital Mumbai. Watch old and new intermingle in the swarm of traffic and tastes of New Delhi. Follow in Siddhartha’s footsteps at spiritual sites, relive hippy days in Goa, spot tigers on wildlife safaris, revel in world’s greatest testament to love, eat dosas and dals, and do it all in India.
