    Chris and Maryanne...sorry my spelling may not be accurate. Since you already are in India...maybe you can drive to Pakistan next. In the northern part of Pakistan, three mountain ranges converge and there are many beautiful valleys, lakes, glaciers, etc. And from the northern border with China, central Asian countries are within a days drive. Maybe there's a special visa just to drive from that border to a central Asian country! Also central Pakistan, such as, city of Lahore has a lot of Mughal history and architecture. Near Rawalpindi are old ruins of Harappa with Buddhist stupas, etc. I think you might enjoy the country's diversity and hospitality.

    My late husband visited Mumbai and Delhi frequently back in the early 2000's. He was jarred by the disparity between the wealthy and the poor. There didn't seem to be any middle class . The people he encountered were always polite and helpful, but the cities were extremely chaotic. Best of luck navigating that madness

Then last month my camera a canon 90D with a 1500€ lens got stolen in an ICE train enroute to Mulhouse and Freiburg . The backpack was intact , camera alone was missing, found out because of the loss in weight. The skill istoo good. So in a pretty decent train , hardly populated we get robbed.
