Watching the Taj Mahal from my room while enjoying a drink was a great way to end the day. India is a huge country and can be overwhelming at times – but I highly recommend it as a place to visit. The people are beautiful and friendly, the food is fantastic, and there are so many different options as far as levels of comfort go that there’s an option for every budget and comfort level! This was a quick visit and I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface. I’m so glad that I’ve finally visited India. I will be back!!!In India, instead of merely visiting the forts & palaces, you can actually stay in some of the finest, most remarkable palaces and forts in the world.
