Tentative list for India

So What is This About?

You either love it or hate it, but noone leaves India without strong memories. The country passed the mark of one billion inhabitants recently, and full of people it certainly is.

The list of Worldheritages in India is a long one. Together they make for a nice introduction to India's heritage, but the real interest lies as much with everyday life around the corner as with these ancient monuments and nature parks.

In 1993, I went to India for the first time: the cities of the North (Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Benares) were my main goal then. Five years later I visited Calcutta and the former Kingdom of Sikkim. I certainly plan to go there again, for example to the southern states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.
