Aaaah!!! It's my personal opinion that India is a complicated woman :). She has many layers and each is very much a part of her. There is this spirutual side, then the mordern side. There is the hurry burry of the modern metro, then there are parts that slows down to a pace that can't be imagined. There is this beauty in nature that is so unspoilt, then there is the Modern urban jungle.
She is a land of contradictions but I guess that makes India what it is
Rajastan!!! My mom comes from a state below Rajastan:). I wish Moni would chime in Because she is the best for this!!Glorious Jaipur with all the palaces, Jaisalmer for the desert safari. It's a experience
Many people like to visit Taj Mahal I personally have never been there.
North India.: Foot hills of Himalayas I see you are visiting Nepal. But there is this place call Hrishikesh were the mighty Ganges starts. Many people say the experience is unique. It represents the spiritual part of India.
