I'm aware of that. i just don't understand how the frick they ever came up with such a fricked up notion of howto be rid of their dead loved ones.

My neighbors are Indian. They're nice people. I think I see why they wanted to come here though.

Ya, its a pretty tough place. You will see some fricked up shite. Especially when sitting in traffic in a major city.
But I think every one who can should experience it or similar. Half the planet lives in conditions like that. We don't have poverty in the USA. My perspective on life has definitely changed.

I'd rather go back to Africa to visit than India

Seriously, go to Indiamike.com and find the forums for the areas you are going. It is a very well detailed website with many forum topics that will make your trip a lot better.

I'd rather do both, if possible, but I'm a travel junkie.

I will check it out. How did you survive without a guide?

stay off their horses, mostly retired race horses very unstable. Have some shirts made, bring back lots of sandalwood, smells nice

I agree with this. When I went it was Jan/Feb timeframe and the fog/Smog in Delhi/New Delhi was rough. The smell of burning dung was everywhere, how could you miss it?
Agra for the Taj Mahal is about it. Jaipur was cool. Plenty elephants around there, being used for all sorts of work.
The poverty was the main shocker, although there was much wealth also. You need a guide, really.
Food was awesome, but we had a guide.
If you go to Jaipur, but some gems wholesale. Great deals.

Roho, I had a driver/guide.
I agree with above poster. I went during monsoon. We didn't get rained on but it probably kept the particulate matter down and cleansed the place perhaps.

I wanted to add. A good driver can be heat for cheap. Depending on distance, but you can have a driver die like $300 for ten days who takes care of you all day. It's awesome. I still keep in touch with my driver via email.
Also, that website had posters that emailed me and gave me great advice. I was really prepared before I got there.

Fly into Delhi, spend a couple of days there. Take a day trip to Jaipur (historic walled city with palaces) and another to Agra to see the Taj Mahal... it's incredible. The sights along the way to each of these are worth the drive.
Then fly down to Kerala, and take an overnight trip to Munnar... incredible tea farming in the mountains... breathtaking views. Also hit the backwater tours in Kerala. Kerala is totally different than northern India. It's tropical.
We also drove down to Kanyakumari (southernmost tip) for an overnight trip. This, and again all of the places in between, was a great experience.
There's so much more to see in India... this is just what I did and I enjoyed it. Can't wait to go back some day.

Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Mysore. On the drive from Bangalore to Mysore nearly killed a little kid who ran onto the highway in front of us - scariest driving experience ever.
I would recommend somewhere else, I have been there several times and except for business would not go back...

Spent a few months there. Delhi, Agra (Taj Mahal), Kolkata, Darjeeling and Puri (beach town south of Kolkata). I was basically only up north so no experience with more tropical Southern cities.
If you have questions about any of those places I can answer
