I would definitely go for Panjim in Goa, followed by
Bangalore in South India......
I agree with Bangalore. Very mellow, helpful city.
Leh
!
my favorite pune with its mulshi lake....
Amritsar, its heaven after Lahore !
Bangalore? Pah! You might as well be in Milton Keynes (all
you non-Brits who've never heard of MK... well you wouldn't
get the ironic sense of humour so I won't bother
explaining). No, it's got to be Connaught Place, new Delhi,
5pm on a Monday in May. Luverly.
tirupathi is the best.no too mush pollution.very typical
indian town.fantastis
I am voting for Cochin. Great city with a lot of sights,
nice people and no cars.
Payyanur is is Most wonderful city in India.
Varanasi is the most interesting and Udaipur is the most
manageable of the cities in India I've been to. Also
Aurangabad for its proximity to Ellora and Ajanta. While
we're at it, the least interesting city has got to be
Jaipur with its overrated Palace of the Winds.
I quite liked Bundi, north of Kota in Rajasthan.
Provincial town, hardly touristic (in '96 anyway), beautiful
setting with a palace and fort overlooking a lake,
hospitable people.
Also I remember very well the Shekawati-area with its dozens
of deserted decorated mansions.
I would place Bangalore last on my list, but fortunately
there are still people who like places like that, so the
really nice ones don't get too overcrowded ;-).
!!!!!!!!
In H.P.
Calcutta is the friendliest of the major cities by a long
shot. Even the beggars seem polite after the grasping con
artists of Delhi. Mumbai is second best - its a mess but it
does have a buzz to it. Chennai is rather dull.
Calcutta ! ! !
Bombay is the only choice. It is the most fun, with the
best parties and shopping and the Sea Lounge.
yeah, if one wants to see India in one city, it's here!
but remember the rules of the debate?(set by anboy)
when it comes to crimes, Mumbai gets out of the discussion
Been here (all my life) done that (travelled to all Indian
CITIES). the best city to go to is Cochin! & im not a
Malayalee!!
mahabalipuhram , manali and delhi
of the megapolis, calcuttas superb.very very friendly. bombays also very interesting, try to get away from colaba, once outside the city the real indian bombay comes alive, and its well worth spending a few days there even though its quite expensive.delhi is delhi, loads of history and loads of ripoffartists, but still well worth it. varanasi, hey, weeks rather than days. cochin also well worth weeks, but stay in ernakulam cos fort cochin is quite boring in the evenings.madras is quite boring. a couple of days should be enough.bangalore, give it a big miss. nothing to see or do unless you like cybercafes,fastfoodjoints and shoppingmalls and pubculture.jaipur is ok for a few days, but there are more interesting places in rajasthan. pushkar,jaisalmer,jodhpur,udaipur etc etc.and then, welll, daramshala, manali,manikaran, gokarn,colva,benaulim,palolem,anjuna,arambol,kovalam, loads of smaller places, maybe not cities, but still great. give agra a big miss. or take an early train from delhi, see the taj, and move on....btw delhi is actually quite fab, dont know why so many hate the place. just try to stay outside of paharganj, plenty of ok budget options in old delhi
I had vacation from the extreme chaos of wackiness in
Rishikesh and Dharamsala. In the land of the mountains
remain mellow Indian people who leave you alone and enjoy
the true magic and spirit of the area. Great food, great
people, and every travel day had 20 stories within
themselves. Varanasi comes next as just incredible
instense and electrifying experience in India.
Mumbai for its vibrance, Dharamshala for its sense of
complete peace.
