Cambodia and some areas of rural Thailand, (and rural China 15 years ago) was pretty much our only 'reality strikes' we have seen up close and personal. in good ways and in bad- getting surrounded by hawkers and beggers was pretty much a major hassle, seeing the dire poverty, the absolute, utter misery of abject poverty that was really fucking depressing. I'll say this, it is really, really intense. who is? so, we wanted to kind of get our feet wet in India the first trip. but those roads were pretty scary, and those drivers are really down to earth dudes, but hot damn, the risks they take onthe road!! well, getting there is half the fun? GOOD hotels were pretty cheap, and since we were in a communal group of 8 people (all people I have known ALL my life) we shared the expenses of getting a private bus to take us around. my old lady is a pretty seasoned traveller, so she has no problems with trekkiing around lugging her own pack, sharing the load.īut India is definately a place to go and see, from what everyone tells me, there are a TON of really cool places, outside of the main tourist loop that we did. also, kind of depends on your old lady (wife?) or partner, certainly WHO you travel with to anywhere is a big consideration, before you go off to India with ANYONE, you better know what kind of traveller they are. ![]() of course the Europeans think nothing of packing their kids up and taking them on back-packing adventures. but yeah, you should go!! might be hard with small children, well, that depends on the kids.
