India
is an incredible land of dramatically diverse cultures all under
one flag, all of them unearthly, and some - like Rajasthan - positively
barmy.
The sights are endless, from the Taj Mahal through the forts and
palaces of Rajasthan, the erotic temples of Khajuraho, the carved
caves of Ellora to the wandering cows on busy highways and garish
Bollywood posters.
And then there are the people sights: saris, huge clunky silver
jewelry, handlebar moustaches, brown fishermen in pink thongs,
pilgrims bathing at Varanasi, sadhus and their bizarre customs,
snake charmers, glorious weddings, funny head waggles meaning
yes [or is it no?] and so on.
Beaches are huge, towns are noisy but fascinating and the endless
festivals are world-class mind-bogglers.
It's pretty safe, inexpensive, has good weather if you get your
timing right and is populated by relaxed, friendly people. Though
rather too many of them..
