Foreigner Tour experiences on visit to India

Olivia Brown, Traveller

It was beautiful!!
I loved traveling India.
I don't know where to start! But I'll try:

History

History made my love for India deeper. I visited some of the most beautiful, breathtaking historical places:

Taj Mahal- Agra ( Taj means 'crown' and Mahal is 'palace' in hindi)

Hawa Mahal ( I came to know 'hawa' means air/wind in hindi) - Jaipur


Golkonda Fort - Hyderabad



Charminar ( I came to know char means 'four' and minar means 'pillars' in hindi)


Food

I love Indian food. It defines the real taste of spices! I found that the food is actually very different in different parts of India. Following are the items which I found too good!  (Aren't they mouth watering?): (personally I don't like clicking pics of food, so these are from the internet)

Naan and kadhai paneer from North India


Dosa and Idli from South India

Momos in East India ( I visited Shillong and Darjeeling!)


Golgappe- All over India.
I found them more or less everywhere and I ate them more or less everywhere! 


Some more:
Aloo ka paratha (somewhat like a roti....just stuffed with potatoes and more crisp)
Chola bhatura 
Biryani
Samose!

Nature

I'm a nature lover. Travelling crowded places is fine, but in the end I always crave to be near nature and spend some time alone. India fulfilled this need of mine!

1. I visited Keoladeo National park- Rajasthan

Full of migratory birds, it's amazing how beautiful it is!


2. Sunderban National park- West Bengal
Awesome Indian tigers!


3. Darjeeling and Shillong- These places are truly heaven!

(Cherrapunji {nearby Shillong} in Meghalaya)

Shimla- Himachal Pradesh
Experienced snow in Shimla :)



It often strikes me how beautiful our world is and at every such thought I never ever miss to remember India. What an experience!
