There is always something to visit in India. Always something else, something new, something you didn't know of. Many people come to India and spend days, weeks, sometimes months travelling the continent. You can visit India for years, and you wouldn't run out of things to see. Strangely, though, most people in India visit the same places, get stuck in tourists route, and end up having an experience of India that is designed by travel guide, rather than being authentic. We know there is much more to visit in India than the golden triangle, or the Taj Mahal. We think that you can understand the country more, and simply have a deeper experience, if you tailor your visit adding a little bit of what's new in India, or unknown and awesome. This country is always changing, always in movement, and visiting India simply following what's been done and seen before can be limiting. So here, you find a bit of all the rest.
