Theculture of Indiais the way of living of the people ofIndia. India’slanguages,religions,dance,music,architecture,food, and customs differs from place to place within the country. The Indian culture, often labeled as an amalgamation of several cultures, spans across theIndian subcontinentand has been influenced by a historythat is several millennia old.

India is a grand country. It is the seventh largest country in the world and the second most populated country in the world. Many see India as a sub-continent rather than a country. There exist in different parts of India, different cultures, languages, manners as well as different historical backgrounds and influences of the same historical events.

I find Rachel post an interesting and disheartened truth . Of course people in India have very less time to see the things that counts. One should pay attention to small things that worth a lot. Improper guidance and poor source of knowledge is one of the reason. I wish Rachel could have initiated with some good alternatives to the locals like feeding the strays instead dumping food in trash. The field is set to fire for another quick harvest. There are plenty of options available for a good harvest instead of going for a fire, like organic fertilizers can be used. Bitter truth: Time and economy matters more than Ecology. Still a source of knowledge to the locals can be a joy for Rachel. For a better sustainable Environment, i hope if Rachel reads my review she would reach out for the next step.

That’s true – there IS always something burning in India!! I remember visiting Delhi in October with my parents, and it must be burning season or something, because the whole city was covered in smoke – and not just the usual smog that hangs there.

Delaine,

Yes go very early to see the TAJ! Most people have their hotel just set up a driver for them- it’s about 4 hours there and 4 back. You can also go by tourist bus and get tickets at an agency. You don’t need Taj tickets in advance.

You’ll want to book your train very early to Goa (I use cleatrip.com) but you need to set up an account with a foreign card which doesn’t work for some people so in that case when you are in India book it at an agent office (they are EVERYWHERE) or at a train station. If you want 2AC or 3AC you need to book early, which you’ll want!

Thank you so much everyone!!!

May I ask another question? We are going from Delhi to Agra/Taj Mahal. Is there a certain way to book the round-trip train and do we reserve “tickets” to see the Taj Mahal in advanced? Should we go early in the morning?

And lastly, We are going from Mumbai to Goa and then flying back home from Goa. How do I find trains to Goa from Mumbai? How early in advanced should I book these?

Thanks again for any help!

In reply to Delaine. Delaine, you could also try goibibo.com. A clean site with the only details you'd require. You can easily compare number of flight, pricing, durations etc.. Have a look!

In reply to Delaine. You can make flight booking from outside India as well. Other than MakeMyTrip and Cleartrip, you also have Yatra.com, Musafir.com, etc. Or you could visit the airline websites to make the booking directly. Some popular ones are Indigo airlines, Spicejet, Jet Airways and Air India (government-owned, so not the best choice).

In reply to Delaine. Hi Deliane! You can book online. I use cleartrip for my flight bookings within India. Usually they offer a discount code on the homepage as well. They will email you your e-ticket and it's really just the same as booking on priceline or something in the US! Email me if you have any problems :)

Hey Rachel! I reached out to you a few months ago (I’m Delaine, a friend of Travis and Bre!). Can you help me with a quick domestic travel question? I was wondering, how would you go about booking a flight from Delhi to Pune? Is there a special way foreigners should do it? Can we book once we’re in country?
