India is perhaps most famous for its food, and you'll find much more than butter chicken and tikka masala in this wildly diverse country. Each region in this massive country has its own specialty cuisines, and different experiences to match, so you will need some thorough research or informed recommendations before choosing your itinerary.
The capital city of New Delhi is famous for its hustle and bustle, and it is a gateway to Old Delhi with historic buildings including the Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb. Keen shoppers can buy anything in the markets and shops of Mumbai, or visit the famous Victoria Station and trendy bars such as the Leopold Café downtown. The city of Agra on the banks of the Yamuna River is where you will find the Taj Mahal.
If you want to escape the big cities, you can visit the beach resorts and yoga retreats in Goa, or see wild elephants and Asian rhino in the national parks of West Bengal. If you prefer cool mountain air to tropical heat, venture into the Himilayas where you will find the tea-growing town of Darjeeling and views of Chomolungma (Mount Everest) and Kangchenjunga from Tiger Hill.
