The most common question I get is Why did you pick India? And my answer is that its the opposite of a Caribbean cruise. There is nothing more unappealing to me as being trapped on a boat with a bunch of passive tourists and being herded from one trap to another. I was looking for a trip of adventure like no other with history, beauty, and the food to back it up.
India has been inhabited since the dawn of man, 75,000 years ago. Has been conquered by countless empires, and traded with many others. All adding their own influence to Indian culture, religion, and cuisine.
I know most people don't think beauty when India is mentioned, but it is a different type of beauty. Not many countries can deliver Sahara type dune deserts as far as the eye can see which is the Thar desert, snow capped Himalayan mountains, dense rain forests of the western Ghats, picturesque beaches of Goa, and the major metropolitan areas of New Delhi and Mumbai.
