This is such a beautiful post!! India is really beautiful and have amazing places to visit.
Of course everyone wants to see the Taj Mahal, but I would also like to experience other places and especially the food. Thanks for the post.
I completely agree with this. There are so many places in India that are yet to be explored. And the pandemic has prompted us to look domestic for travel.
Love the India tour you have given. India is such a huge treasure trove of places to visit, One lifetime is not sufficient to cover our glorious country.
So truely said.
