India is a beautiful land full of the exotic
enchantment of the east with a strong religious mystique and enormous natural
resources, but this is only one side of India. It is also a place of
incredible noise and poverty. Of vast population, a large country with large
problems. This powerful sense of contrast between extravagant luxury and sheer
poverty, incredible beauty and basic ugliness will leave you spinning. But it
is the key to understanding India; India is an amazing land full of
contradiction, colour and energy. It is a land that is seldom peaceful, rarely
private and can often be frustrating. And once it's in your blood stream you
won't get it out. One visit won't be enough and you'll be back. Of that you
can be sure.
