[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you go to India…? When there are beautiful safe places out there?[/quote]

Because there is nowhere else like it? And amazing things to see?

If you want to keep to the Bahamas or London or whatever place you travel to being afraid of places where English isn't spoken or where they don't have your pancakes and bacon in the hotel restaurant for breakfast, knock yourself out. [b]But India is beyond beautifu[/b]l. [/quote]

I'm a PP who spent the 3 1/2 wk in India travelling throughout.

Yes, India has areas of great beauty.  Guess what?  So do 99% all of all other places.  Iran, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Mongolia, Congo, Siberia. You name the place, I guarantee there's beautiful views somewhere somehow.

Here's the difference:  when you travel, you are out in public.  You will feel the wind, the air, the weather, the environment all around you. That's the difference - the level of daily poverty in almost every single location in India is at a level you cannot imagine living in the US.  You must stay at the most $$$ lux places and if you venture out, good luck.  I'm talking - you need to be picked up in the car as soon as you step out of the gorgeous sheltered perfect hotel you are in because the outside air and the outside scenery accompanying it sucks.  In almost all places.

The things you can see in India are great but you can see as many historical sites in many other locations globally without flying into pollution and poverty.  You can't really "see" or experience India in other words.  You can go from point A to point B I suppose if you want to see the "beauty" but why travel like that?? Agra is a hell hole. Literally. You all have lost your minds who think of India as a travel paradise.  LOL  It changed my life.  It made me understand what hell and poverty was at a young age.  You have never seen so many beautiful children dirty, begging but happy because they nothing better.  It's like, why would you want to visit S Sudan?  To see an elephant - really??

Some us want to see the world. Warts and all. You sound like the stereotypical “ugly American.”

India is how  millions and millions of people live. It is an ancient, fascinating culture.

Well worth visiting, but not an easy country to visit. I personally don’t get on a plane and travel for days,, to find myself in circumstances that closely mirror what I left behind. Where is the growth in that? [/quote]
