\"india<\/div>

The rich diversity and culture of India brings a sea of humanity with over a billion people to meet as you travel the country. Agra holds the drawcard Taj Mahal<\/a> but don't miss the spiritual\u00a0Varanasi<\/a> and the lifeline of the Ganges which will leave you with a new found awareness of hinduism. For a change of pace head south to\u00a0Kerala<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and cruise the backwaters on a converted rice barge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

You won\u2019t (and shouldn\u2019t) avoid train travel in India. With over 20 million locals taking the train every day it's a perfect way to get assimilated into the Indian way of life! Check out cleartrip.com<\/a> for timetables and tickets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stay at The Old Harbour House in Fort Cochin, Kerala. While the hotel itself is an amazing old colonial building it is a perfect place to access houseboats in the well known backwaters where you\u2019ll cruise past small villages at a snail\u2019s pace.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Taj Mahal is closed of a Friday. On the full moon you can get a night time viewing<\/a>, which is a unique way to see this wonder of the world. Just hope for clear skies!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
