India is one of the most difficult and rewarding destinations to visit. Some have said that India means “I will never do it again”. Many others return there again and again because India is the best show in the world, the best bazaar of human experience that you can visit in your life. India dissolves notions of what it means to be alive, and its people give new meaning to compassion, perseverance, ingenuity and friendship.
