Hey Vishal – Thanks for commenting and your trip sounds excellent to me! I’m a huge fan of North India, especially places such as Amritsar, McLeod Ganj, the Spiti and Kinnaur Valleys, Rishikesh and my favorite town of all, Bundi, located in far eastern Rajasthan. Enjoy your adventure!

Hi Earl,

I will be traveling to North India, Mumbai and Goa this March and April. Really excited. And hopefully, I’m going to use some of your writings as a reference.

Hey Steve – Well, I won’t argue with that decision! Let me know if you have any questions about India and I’d be more than happy to help you out….

Earl! I’m nearing the end of the European segment of my journey, and, to be honest, I’ve found myself rather jaded and disenchanted with travel Europe. It’s become a bit predictable and uninspiring (been here too long I think). Reading this post, I think I’ve finally decided where I’m going next…

@WearitOut – I have not been to those two places and I’ve actually never heard of them before But that’s what I love about India, you can spend a lifetime there and still not see all it has to offer!

Luv your article. I’m Indian married to a Pakistani man – sadly he cannot visit India with me due to political rivalries between the two countries. We’re hoping things will improve by the time we both retire so we can explore this lovely diverse continent as both our ancestors come from there. We especially wish to visit the ancient historical sites like Mohanjodaro and Harrapa. Have you been there yet?

Hey Madeline – I have actually spent time in some of the Tibetan communities in India, including Majnu Ka Tilla. At one point I stayed in McLeod Ganj for a few months (and have visited this village several times over the years) and I also went to one of the refugee communities in the south, located near the town of “Ooty” (Udhagamandalam). These areas always offer a fascinating and welcome break from the rest of India and I do agree that the food is fantastic as well. Nothing like a bowl of thukpa and a plate of spinach and cheese momos!

Earl,

I meant to ask you in my last comment, but did you ever get a chance to visit any Tibetan refuge communities while in India? I was fortunate enough to have my co-worker’s brother show me around one in the New Delhi area called Majnu Ka Tilla, or MT for short.

If you haven’t and you find yourself back in northern India, I can’t recommend MT enough! It was (perhaps a little ironically) one of my favorite parts of the trip. Stepping off the streets of Delhi and into the winding stone alleyways that make up MT is like exiting India and walking straight into Tibet. Life there is calmer, more relaxed. Plus, the food is fantastic to boot!

Namaste Madeline! India tends to have that effect on people It forces the traveler to want to explore new places, new lands and cultures. I understand that feeling all too well. Your plan to teach in S. Korea is a good one as that’s an excellent way to be overseas while earning decent money as well. And then from there, you’ll have plenty of other countries you can visit.

And you have no idea how I feel about Indian food. Even here in Mexico I make the one hour trip a few times a month just to eat at the only Indian restaurant in the area!
