Where to go?
Delhi - The Indian capital is said to be one of the oldest settlements known to man, going back over 5,000 years, and offers a microcosm of the variety on show in India - different religions and languages, the crowded alleys of Old Delhi and the wide boulevards of New Delhi.
Mumbai - The city formerly known as Bombay is India's largest, centre of the "Bollywood" film industry and financial capital of the country. Nowhere is the forward-looking, energetic side of India more noticeable than here, even among the ancient monuments and colonial relics.
