I wondered about the name too?

Re: I'm 60

I spent about 9 months in India and Nepal in 1972 so any info I have is a bit dated but as someone suggested night sleepers are the only way to go.

Also visited Afghanistan and Iran but they might be a bit more tricky these days.

Welcome.

India is a place of organised chaos.
If you do drive I'll pass on the best advice I was given.....the one and only rule of the road...'Might is right'

Re: I'm 60

I joined this Forum because I'm sure there are a lot of 60+ out there that want to see as much of the world as I do, so let's exchange ideas.

Buy some Binoculars.

Re: I'm 60

That is very true and yet, for some reason, collisions are very rare, or at least we never saw a single one. Bicycles, tut-tuts, motorbikes, buses, a few cars (mostly taxis), and even the occasional elephant, all weaving in and out of each other in what appears to be a disorganised fashion and no accidents - unlike on the roads here.

Another thing we learnt was that the constant sounding of horns was certainly not arrogance and threats, but a simple means of announcing that I'm about to overtake you.

Unlike some foreign cultures, the Indians are very happy people and, despite their deprivations, even the very poorest were constantly smiling and, what's more, we saw very few people begging. What a lovely race of people.

Re: I'm 60

Thank you so much for the responses. Really useful. In particular I want to go to Dharamsala, so if anyone has any experiences of that town that would be great. I'm intending to go to the Dalia Lama area as well. The name, first I'm sorry if it offends anyone, I never swear, but I woke up one morning and realised I am 60 this year, I said, aloud, sh*t I'm 60. Hence the name.
