Country Overview

Trek among the highest peaks in the world; visit magnificent tombs and temples; ride a camel through desert plains; see leopards and tigers in the wild; watch a Bollywood movie in its homeland. This huge, colourful nation is a kaleidoscope of peoples and cultures. In the west, Rajasthan presents the splendours of the pink city of Jaipur as well as Udaipur with its romantic blend of marble palaces and lakeside gardens; Uttar Pradesh features the sacred ghats of Varenesi on the banks of the River Ganges; West Bengal offers Himalayan landscapes, Buddhist monasteries and tea plantations; while Kerala is characterised by its lagoons, canals and palm–fringed lakes. And there's much, much more. From the capital Delhi, with its mix of Moghul and colonial finery, to the markets of Mysore and the beaches of Goa, India's hostels are well located for exploring some of the highlights of this many–faceted country.
