Admittedly, we have “done India” backward. We arrived into the total chaos and craziness of Varanasi and have gone on to the 2nd most chaotic city, New Delhi. If we had it to plan again, I’m sure we would have started on the western side and traveled East instead to ease into the madness. Things got off to a rough start for us with some trouble getting to our hotel...
