[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not go back to India. Hard in many ways.[/quote]

Only, if you are traveling like the poorest of the poor.

I only luxury travel to and in India. I fly business class in middle eastern airlines (Emirates or Etihad), stop over at Abu Dhabi or Dubai, go in luxury and comfort and minimize the impact of jet lag,  Then, I either stay with my family/friends who have extra room, AC, well established homes and servants - or I stay in expensive 5 star hotels. I hire the best and most expensive touring vehicles available and drivers that are known to the family or have great reviews. And I travel mainly with family or friends.  I also shop a lot and get all my bulky stuff couriered to US.

India is not a place to do on shoe-string budget travel.  If you do that then you have to be inconvenienced sometimes.  However, India is still incredibly cheaper than US or Europe so it boggles my mind that westerners want to travel in the way the poorest of the poor are travelling there.  If you spend a fraction of your money that you spend in a Western country and stay in good hotels and take taxis from  proper registered taxi service, you will have an experience of comfort and luxury.

Nothing beats the food in India. Not one country I have visited has better food than India (ok, Thailand is amazing food too). [/quote]

Indian food is so so bad-  different varieties of glop-  and my dadi is Indian, we totally grew up with the flavors but my mom stir fried  the veggies instead of cooking them down into slop. the meat is so one note and they dont know how to butcher anything so it all tastes bad and is in orange or brown gloopy sauce. I dont know about the muslims and their meat dishes, the only good food is the sambar and dosas. idli is teh most foul textured thing I've ever had to put in my mouth.  when im with family- the food at their homes is good but the indian food in the restaurants- no matter how posh is awful.  the western style dishes at the cool places is good now though.
