India is the ultimate travel experience. And once one falls in love with India one does not have the slightest desire to go anywhere else..
There is no flora and fauna like India's.
There is no topography like India's (from pristine beaches all the way to, and in between, up to the Himalayas).
There are no cities as wild and exciting as those in India.
There is no diversity of cultures in any country that can match India's.
There is no more spectacular and diverse Architecture than India's.
There is no tolerance like the tolerance of India.
But most importantly there are NO people on the planet that can match the kindness, warmth, genuine concern, interest in foreigners, and "Chanti' of the India people. They are as close to divine as you will find on this miserable globe!
One does not go to India like one goes to the Bahamas, one goes to India to find the inner self and strength, along with everything else.. At times, one wants to pull one's hair out and then Mother India says here, "I have a gift for you". Then one is transported to another realm.
Go to India and never return! (At least a month for your mind to turn away from your Western value system and begin to see the wisdom of India's ethos).

It is a wonderful country , such diersity cannot be found anywhere else.
Hope the rapid 'globalisation' does not take the charm away.

I have been going since 1986...and yes I see many changes each and every year; but India is India. She always has her flavor and charm and she takes from other culures what she likes. I regret that the young Indians have taken on some western tastes....very few young females in the cities wear Saris these days. I imagine I will have to take some bad with all the good that is India!
