India 'a mesmerising destination for backpackers'
Even the most experienced backpackers will find themselves blown away by India, according to one travel writer.
Jessica Russell wrote for the South African this week that she had an amazing time backpacking through the country, which she claimed was chaotic, magical and challenging.
"Backpacking through India is a complete assault on your senses," she remarked. "Its glorious chaos and startling contrasts will mesmerise you, get under your skin and no doubt turn your world upside down."
For her trip, Ms Russell packed a host of pharmaceutical items, practical Kathmandu clothes made from cotton and some brand new Teva sandals.
Those looking to make a trip to India the subject of their next holiday insurance policy should ensure that they are vaccinated against polio and typhoid before going away, the-backpacking-site.com recommends.
In addition, travellers should also avoid tap water and milk while in the country and peel all fruit and vegetables before eating.
