Thanks for the tips. We will google the rickshaw scams to see what is up.

I call India a “culturally dense” place. In that I mean that there is something to overwhelm the senses on almost every block and each part of the country. It’s sensory overload at first and it’s taken me a few trips to really be able to handle it. One thing I’d really recommend though is brushing up on a few of the common taxi and rickshaw scams – very, very prevalent.

India has certainly been what everyone above has described and much more. We’ll be heading to Rajasthan in a few days, then onto the South for the holidays. We’ll watch your blog to see if we cross paths!

India is overwhelming for the senses and at the beginning you may be exhausted at the end of each day from all the stimuli – sounds, smells (good and bad), people, culture, colors. But, it’s such an incredible place. We were just reviewing our photos from there (yes, we’re horribly behind!) and it brought back such great memories. And, we found people friendly and welcoming and happy for us to take photos. My advice – take it slow. Don’t try to rush too many places in a short period of time. Enjoy!!

Hi Jennifer thanks for the positive comments on India. We are really looking forward to exploring it once and for all for ourselves and hopefully will have the same love for the country that you have when we have travelled there.

You are going to LOVE India! It is one of our favorite countries (as you can tell from the numerous guides we have written on it!). If you need someone to tell you about all of the positives, the colors, sounds, tastes, etc. we would relish the opportunity!

Hey guys…I’m not sure if you seen this gastro map of India before but it gives such a cool idea of the diversity of food over there:

Every time I go to India I reference the map to make sure I try new foods in some new region…bon appetit!

Hi Yi Lin, Thank you for the warm wishes. Try to stay warm! But Patagonia must be amazing. Yes we are going to Sri Lanka as well, not sure about the Maldives, but it would be nice. Enjoy the rest of your travels!
