India is known to be the seventh-largest country by area and the second most populated country. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea in the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal in the southeast. People are often heard saying that ‘lifetime is not enough to explore all of India’. Here is the most classic north to south trip that will give you an overview of what Incredible India has to offer. Take a look.

Route: Delhi – Varanasi – Agra – Jaipur – Jaisalmer – Jodhpur – Udaipur – Mumbai – Goa – Hampi – Kerala

This route through India is known to be one of the most popular month-long routes for travellers, especially with backpackers. The journey starts in the historically rich capital.
