Here's a map of my route through India:
View Larger Map
During my second visit in India I completed an overland circumnavigation of the subcontinent in six weeks, covering over 4,700 miles on trains and buses. To complement my earlier visit focused on Sikkim and Rajasthan, this trip was about Kolkata, South India, Mumbai, Gujarat, Varanasi, and Bihar. My sense of India is beginning to feel well rounded, although in reality I’ve gained a mere taste of her astounding cultural diversity.
The thing I’ve come to appreciate most about India, not surprisingly, are the Indians. I’ve found Indians everywhere to be dependably jovial, often despite my impatience. Most impressively, the Indians are proud and industrious, and every bit of their achievements is deserved.
A few of the things I’ll miss from India:
Rickshaws.
Chai culture.
Saris.
