India is one of the most exciting and diverse destinations for people considering a gap year of travelling. It is also a common stop-off point for people touring around Asia. With a rich and easily accessible culture which contrasts to the cultures of the West, many young travellers have chosen India for the adventure it can offer.
One other major factor that attracts travellers is that the cost of goods and services are far cheaper than in western countries, and it is quite possible to enjoy a few months in the country on a relatively small budget. However, there will be very little opportunity for a working holiday in India, so it is highly recommended that you gauge the cost of your holiday and have sufficient funds before you travel.
Most travellers fly into Delhi and make their way South, visiting cities such as Agra (home of the Taj Mahal), Jaisalmer and Udaipur. The architecture in these locations is truly a sight to behold and is easily among their most attractive qualities.
But the chance for a rural escape is what brings most people to India. The Himalayas – the tallest mountain range in the world – has become well known amongst travellers for offering remote and hospitable villages which offer a unique insight into the traditional way of life in the country. The scenery of North India is vast and varied, and as well as the barren peaks of the Himalayas, the country is full of thick over-grown landscape.
