India

About India
India and China are the most populous countries on the planet. India is called "a continent by itself" even though it is part of Asia. It is very colorful with lots of traditions, festivities, sports (very British), dance, film and music (Bollywood!). Indian kitchen & cooking with curries, chapatis, vegies, chilis, etc is world-famous and delicious. Financial wealth is not spread evenly: a small percentage of the people is extremely rich, a middle class with good education is comparable to western standards and the majority is still very, very poor.

Nepal

About Nepal
Nepal is a country known for the highest mountains in the world: 7 of the 10 existing peaks over 8000 m are found here. "Trekking" and "Mountaineering" are the buzz words with focus on the Pokhara and Everest regions. But there is more, like medieval Kathmandu, wonderful nature, Rhinos and shopping. Unfortunately Nepal is also one of the poorest countries on the planet and many Nepalese leave home to work abroad. And sometimes the country gets hit by huge earthquakes.

New Delhi

New Delhi

New Delhi is the capital of India and one of the largest cities in the world. The old city is quite picturesque - as is most of India. Unfortunately Delhi is also the most polluted city in the world and not a safe place for women alone at night...

Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal

Agra is world-famous for one of the most beautiful buildings in the world: the Taj Mahal. The completely symmetrical Mausoleum is made of white marble with lots and lots of precious stones built in. If in Agra, don´t forget to visit the red fort as well... Or dine on a roof...

Jaipur

Jaipur

Jaipur is capital of Rajasthan. It takes it's nickname, the Pink City, from pink colored buildings incl. Wind Palace. Nearby is the beautiful Amer/Amber fort/palace, that you could enter on the back of an elephant... Delhi, Agra and Jaipur together form the "Golden Triangle".

Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park hosts a variety of animals like Bengal tiger, Indian leopard, nilgai, wild boar, sambar, striped hyena, sloth bear, southern plains gray langur, rhesus macaque, crocodiles and chital. The sanctuary is also home to the largest banyan trees in India.

Varanasi

Varanasi

Varanasi (aka. Benares) is one of the oldest living cities in the world! The city is very much alive and the center of the Hindu religion. People come here to pray, to wash in the river Ganges and to get cremated. For tourists this city is a highlight of any visit to India, but please show respect.

Kochi

Kochi

Kochi (Cochin) is the largest city in Kerala, one of the more modern, most educated states in India. Tourist will like it that most women still wear sarees and punjabis, not jeans. Kathakali dance is interesting, but very very very slow.

Pushkar

Pushkar

Pushkar is a city in Rajasthan, a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs with a sacred lake and the largest Camel + Elephant market in the world.

Backwaters

Backwaters

The backwaters are wetlands in Kerala, close to Aleppey. You can rent a comfortable boat for one or more days/nights and let the landscape pass by. The crew will prepare your diner, you take care of your pictures and the mosquitos.
