Overview

Why travellers love India

India overwhelms in the best way: the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur delivers Mughal forts and the Taj Mahal, while the south offers Kerala's backwaters and Goa's beaches.

It's chaotic, colourful and astonishingly cheap โ€” go with an open mind and a flexible plan.
