Here is an itinerary I have been wanting to do for a while, a trip that covers all regions of India, all by train and under $50 a day all expenses included. Starting in Delhi the tour covers the Majestic Mughal forts, the princely state of Rajasthan, sun kissed beaches of Goa with a visit to 17th century basilica, relax in the serene back-waters of Kerala, travel to the southern most point in the sub-continent where the Indian Ocean Arabian sea and the Bay of Bengal meets. Take the road less travelled tot he southern Dravidian temples in Tirunelvelli proceeding to the temple town of Bhubaneswar and end the journey in New Delhi.
India a mysterious, colorful, diverse country with thousands of years of history takes years to comprehend and months to experience. Its a country of countries with micro culures and climate from East to West and North to South.
Delhi, the capital city of India is a melting pot of cultures with its unique identity.Delhi is said to be one of the oldest existing cities in the world, along with Damascus and Varanasi. Legend estimates it to be over 5,000 years old. Over the millennia, Delhi is said to have been built and destroyed 11 times. The oldest alleged incarnation of the city shows up in the Indian mythological epic Mahabharata as Indraprastha.
