Scrapbook: Incredible India

I began my travels in March when I arrived in Goa, west India.  Over the next few months I travelled through cities and villages via trains, buses, boats and planes, along with a 3 week detour to Nepal.

This is a collection of some of my favourite photos from the trip.

If there's a country that sends your senses into a frenzy, it's India. A country that's animated and dynamic, it's India. A country many either love or hate, one where you never know quite what to expect.  Definitely India.  Beginning on the beaches of Goa and ending in the bustling city of Kolkata, I had the most amazing few months. A few of the highlights of my trip included:

• Celebrating the cricket world cup in Mumbai
• Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise
• Riding a moped through the surreal landscape of Hampi
• Taking a cooking class in Udaipur
• Eating concoctions I had never thought of (a curried boiled egg being one of them)
• Hiking in the Himalayas
