Riding in a tuk tuk (or autotaxi) is a fundamental part of the Indian experience.

Pretty much every other vehicle on the road here is a tuk tuk, and pretty much anytime you step […]

In contrast to the amazing and excellent variety of Indian curry, the beer landscape is not as well-developed. Indian culture has a fairly long history of alcohol prohibition; and while you can definitely find alcohol, bars, and other places to drink throughout the country today, it is definitely not on the same level as other […]

Finding your way around in India can be a bit overwhelming. While there are some “major” attractions to visit, everywhere you go will be full of spots vying for your visit.

Continuing our journey around India’s Golden Triangle, we took a train ride from Agra to Jaipur. The train ride was scenic – though the safety standards aren’t exactly what you’ll find in the rest of the world. Don’t fall out!

Agra’s most famous landmark is, of course, the Taj Mahal – documented in our previous post. However, this is not all the city has to offer. The day after our visit to the Taj at dawn, we hired a tuk tuk driver to take us around to some other sites. First up was the Tomb […]
