India's Frontier Railways. The Last Train in Nepal.

Episode two of three (I haven't seen episode one yet).

I don't watch much television, but I really enjoyed this program and doubt anyone but the BBC could produce this. Fascinating. LINK.

I'd love to visit India one day. I love the people and the food, but I'm not sure I could hack it out there.

We went India last November. Delhi, Agra and Goa. I'd recommend a trip!

It's a culture shock for sure and yes, there is grinding poverty so get ready to hand out lots of 20 Rupees (20p) from time to time (if you so wish).

The people are generally friendly and just seem to want to sell you something. They can be a bit persistent but haggle hard and you'll get a decent tee shirt for about £1.

The sights and sounds are intoxicating and the traffic is clearly the work of a divine providence. Just stand and watch!.

Delhi air quality is dire. Visibility is very low ad the taste gets into your lungs.

Eating out is great value and Indian red wine is OK.

No-one had Ghandi's revenge.

Go and see. We will be going back for sure. There so much to see and enjoy.

Unfortunately the Indian govt have recently made it much more onerous to get a visa. You must now apply online, then schedule an appointment at one of their visa offices.
