Off on an adventure to... India |
See the Sights
Delhi is actually actually two cities in one. Ride a rickshaw through historic Old Dehli and then take a virtual tour of New Dehli, the nation's capital. Stop in to see Humayun's Tomb, the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and the Red Fort Complex, made of red sandstone and built in 1546.
A visit to the city of Agra isn't complete without spending time at the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Stop by Agra Fort while in the city as well.
While exploring the city of Amritsar -- make sure to see the Golden Temple.
Varanasi is sometimes called the "spiritual capital of India," dating back to 11th century, BCE -- it is a place full of religious rituals and ceremony.
Head up into the Himalayan Mountains to the resort town of Manali.
