| India is a vast sub – continent of varying customs, traditions, races and peoples. It is the difference between cultures, history, architectures, natural beauty and wild life that are main attractions for travelers. It may cause confusion and frustrations. Their best standards may not match yours. Prepare yourself to accept them as their own terms and you will be rewarded with rich and unforgettable experience. India is one of the most industrialized nations in the world. The large movement of population from rural areas to cities for employment has created shortage of accommodation that has led to growth of alums and shantytowns. This causes a cultural shock. Nepal may not have these problems. |
