Incredible India
Even after all the stories my tata (grandpa in Tamil) use to tell me (he had some bad experiences); nothing could keep me away from India. I mean, who could possibly not want to see the Taj Mahal right? So end of last year, we packed our bags and headed for what I would describe as a very adventurous and breathtaking holiday.
We city hopped from New Dehli - Agra – Jaipur - Shimla, in 11 days! It is better known as the Golden Triangle. We car-ed most of it, exhausting it was but a whole lotta fun taking in the sights and smells of India.
If I were to sum up my holiday in two words, it would be the best holiday ever! I simply enjoyed learning about her history and taking in all that beauty. I’m just crazy about that place. A definite must go spot for everyone!
Now here’s a few of my favourite things:
Aren’t they cute? We were caught in a traffic jam and they were just cutely passing by us.
That’s me dad and the taj hanging out.
Just look at it! Nuff said.
Sunset by the river that divides the Taj and the Black Taj (was never completed). It was dry season so we were standing right smack in the middle of the river, best way to see the Taj in its full glory.
This was fun albeit guilty that we were bullying the elephants.
So gorgeous!
It was freezing cold but we thoroughly enjoyed the cultural night.
Went NUTS here!
It ain’t India without the fooooood. Oooo yummy!
We squeezed in a train ride to Shimla. It was surprisingly cozy!
Speaking of Shimla, this is her.
Just like that, we were back at New Dehli. Need milk?
And you’ve not seen India until you’ve got yourself henna-ed! Best design ever!
With the family outside some important government building. With gates like that, even I want to work there!
If that ain’t enough pictures, come by my cube. I’ll show you more!
