India

The last decade has seen an extraordinary rise in India's popularity, particularly amongst the older, more affluent Cadogan-style traveler; and 70% of all first-time visitors make this classic tour. The author of Cadogan's India guide revisits Delhi, India's colonial capital; Agra and the glorious Taj Mahal; tours the princely state of Rajasthan, taking in the pink city of Jaipur, the desert fortress city of Jaisamler, the lakeside palaces of Udalpur, visits to remote tribes, and camel rides. Despite the popularity of the region, this new guide has very little competition.
