I'll be leaving in just three days. Most of my preparation is complete so I've just been doing some reading about India and Nepal. India will come first and this is what the GEEO website has to say:
India is a country which is very different...... Although this means it is not the easiest place to travel, this is also what makes it so special. Pollution, poverty and the crowds can result in initial culture shock but should be seen as an exciting new challenge. ...(Visitors)....have come to love this large and wonderfully different country but...should always expect to encounter some difficulties along the way.
In India there are very different attitudes to time keeping, public cleanliness, privacy and service. Trains will sometimes be late, plumbing can sometimes be temperamental and power will often just vanish. Optimistic menus turn out to have only one dish available and everyone, just everyone, will want to know your name. If you are able to travel with a lot of patience and a healthy sense of humor, then you will be captivated by what India has to offer.
