India Travel Review: Rickshaw Ride, Food & Culture, Taj Mahal, Luxury 10-Day Tour

We enjoyed learning/seeing the culture, eating the Indian cuisine (only in the highly rated restaurants); rickshaw ride through the narrow, crowded streets was most memorable. Seeing the Taj Mahal was nice but it’s not necessary to lose a few hours of sleep to get there at sunrise- I honestly did not even notice the supposed “sparkle” at the moment the sun strikes it. It could be because I was so very cold. If you do a sunrise tour take a coat and scarf not a sweater!! Drives in the rural country were relaxing and entertaining as the guide explained what we saw and answered our questions. All our drivers were excellent, never felt unsafe, in fact it’s rather amusing to see how they skillfully maneuver among the incredibly crowded streets/highways.
