What are the famous tourist attractions in India?

If you stay in India for less than a week, it is recommended to visit Delhi and the Golden Triangle. If you stay in India for more than two weeks, you'd better buy an air pass to Darjeeling in the north and carrara in the south, except the Golden Triangle.

After arriving at the Indian airport, you can get the traffic map of Delhi free of charge at the arrival hall. In addition, taxis outside the airport are unorganized. In Delhi, it is very convenient to take a three-wheeled motorcycle to stroll around the city center for more than one dollar at most. Be sure to bargain when shopping and riding a taxi.

Three Highlights

- Golden Triangle Region-India's Cultural Journey

India's tourist golden triangle is a triangular tourist area with Delhi, Agra and Jaipur as three fulcrums. The distance between the three places is within 3 kilometers. It is a very developed industrial and commercial area in India, and there are many cultural relics and ancient cities, such as the Taj Mahal and Jaipur, so most domestic tour groups take this place. And you can read it by car (or train) within a week. But I think, if you just want to go home immediately after seeing this area, then you will have a wrong judgment about India, just as foreigners think it represents China after seeing Beijing.

Suggested route for traveling in the Golden Triangle: Take the early train from New Delhi to Agra City, visit the Taj Mahal and stay overnight, then take the train to Jaipur, where you will return to Delhi (in 1-2 days) after seeing the ancient city of Rose City.

- in the south of India, the charming water town of carrara

carrara means the land of coconuts in Hindi. In its brochure, Kerala claims that it is God's preferred land. It has the most beautiful coconut groves in South Asia and the most educated people in India. Here, you won't see the abject poverty and hunger like other big cities in India (Mumbai, Madras), but you will see plenty of sunshine, green tea gardens and optimistic people.

when I get to Delhi and go to carrara, I think the most convenient way is to buy an air pass in Delhi (it costs only $5 to fly around India freely within 15 days). IN-DIAN AILINE and JET AIR all have this service, so you can fly directly from Delhi (you need to transfer in Mumbai).

when you arrive in KOCHI, you can take a train or bus from E-MAKULAM to ALAPPUZHA, walk 57 kilometers, and spend $2. After arriving in ALAPPUZHA, the most important program is to take a water boat that sails in the morning, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful coconut grove waterway in southern India. Departing from ALAPPUZHA at 1: 3 and arriving at KOLLAM at 6: 3 in the afternoon, the single ticket price is 3 rupees, which is the highlight of the Indian trip to carrara.

From KOLLAM, you can take an hour's bus (2 USD) to Trivand Gallery, the capital of carrara. In this way, you can have the experience of taking Indian trains, cars, cruise ships and planes in carrara in two days, which is worth a try.

- Darjeeling Mountain in India

Darjeeling Mountain in the north is a summer resort in India, bordering Sikkim and Tibet in China. Because of the humid climate and favorable weather all year round, it has become a famous black tea producing area in India. Darjeeling's black tea is the most famous tea in India, where there are endless tea gardens, terraces and clear snow-capped rivers, and it is the coolest in India because it is over 2 meters above sea level. In addition, in the morning, you can go to Huling to enjoy the sunrise in the magnificent Himalayas and overlook Jincheng Zhang Jia, the third highest mountain in the world.

Special suggestion: You must watch the sunrise of Hushan and buy Darjeeling tea in Darjeeling. The easiest way to get here is to take a 3-hour flight from Delhi to SILIG-URI, and then take an 11-hour mountain train (it's romantic to walk 11 hours in 85 kilometers).

Suggested itinerary for donkeys who arrive in India for the first time:

If you want to know India in an all-round way, it is recommended to stay there for more than half a month, so that you can spend $5 or $75 to buy a domestic AIR PASS, and you can take its flight at will to travel to the vast land of India within 15 or 21 days. It is suggested that you can take the following routes:

Stay in the Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) for 5-7 days, and visit the above three cities by train (note: if you can only stay in India for one week to ten days, it is suggested that you only visit these three cities or Varanasi). Cost: It is estimated that the cost of food, shelter and transportation for a person in the above three places in one week is within 2 dollars.

fly directly from Delhi to Xiliguli, where you can take an 11-hour train to DARJEELING to watch the sunrise on the beautiful snow-capped mountains. After two days' stay, I will return to Xiliguli and fly from there to Kolkata, Tagore's hometown. After one day's stay, I can go to Madras, then transfer to KOCHI in southern India, where I will go boating in the romantic water town of carrara, and then arrive at Trivand Gallery, the capital of carrara. From there, I will fly to Goa for 1-2 days, then fly to Mumbai for 1-2 days, and then return to Delhi from there.

- cost: if air tickets are not included, the cost of accommodation and food in India for 2 days is about 8 dollars.

- Eat and live: Many local snacks need to be grasped by hand, so it is better not to eat them. In many small restaurants, there are scrambled eggs with rice, which tastes a little similar to that in China, so you can eat them. In addition, 95% of shops and restaurants have no air conditioning, and it will be sultry in summer. Accommodation: The price of a standard room in a youth hostel in a big city ranges from $5 to $1, but the price of a standard room with air conditioning is $15 to $3 per night. Generally, you can find it through LP (Lonely Planet), but when you stay in a hotel, you must explain to the front desk that you want a room with AIR CONDITION, and many hotels only provide rooms with AIR COOLER, which are actually just a large fan placed on the water outside the window for cooling, and you will feel very uncomfortable (but the room price is much cheaper).

- transportation: three main means of transportation in India: train, plane and bus. India can buy Air Pass, which has three types: USD3/7 days, USD5/15 days and USD75/21 days. But there is no plane from Delhi to Jaipur and other places, so we can only take the train. In addition, it is more economical to take the train to places like Agra (Taj Mahal). New Delhi Railway Station has a special International Tourist Bureau on the second floor of the station. You can buy train tickets from any city in India at any time at New Delhi Railway Station, which is very convenient for travelers, but the efficiency of the conductor is very slow, so you have to have enough patience and time to wait here. Moreover, the conductor only accepts the ticket submitted, which should not only indicate the name, age, origin and destination, boarding date, berth level, but also fill in the train number. So you'd better buy a timetable on the first floor, 3 rupees.

If the time to india tourism is tight, it is recommended to buy all the tickets for the whole trip at the New Delhi Railway Station. However, if the time is not so tight, don't buy all the tickets on the first day when you arrive in India, because every day you stay in India, your fascination with it will increase.

As for the class of train seats, CC is the seat, 2A is the upper and lower berth, and 3A is the upper and lower berth. At that time, when buying tickets, the berth grade was filled in 2A first, and then 2A like varanasi-Delhi was sold out, so we bought 3A instead. These two kinds of sleepers are very clean, and the sheets and quilts are distributed to each berth after the waiter drives. The carriage is also very safe, but most of them are Indians with dark skin and big black eyes, and few foreigners travel. As long as you lock your backpack under the bunk, you can sleep peacefully.

For example, from New Delhi-Jaipur or New Delhi-Agra (both drive at 6: a.m.), because there are only a few hours, there are no berths, and it is best to take the CC train, which is very interesting. The waiter came several times in ten minutes: 1. Send an English newspaper; 2. Send a bottle of mineral water; 3. Send Indian bagged milk tea and biscuits; 4. Send another thermos cup of hot water for you to make tea and even send breakfast.

You don't need to check in when you get on the train in India. Check on the train station screen which platform the train is waiting for, and then just wait.

For long-distance buses, it is recommended not to take a long-distance bus when the distance is more than 2 kilometers, because the congestion in the bus is always there, and the quality of Indian roads is not good. The 26 km national highway car from Delhi to the Taj Mahal can walk for more than 6 hours.
