Chetan sent me this link the other day. I don't think I will get to all 101 things, but I do have a few on my list...
1. Visit the Taj Mahal- The Epitome of Love
When listing the must things to do in India, you can’t leave Taj Mahal out. Built in 17th century, this white marble monument attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world. It is the epitome of love as the world knows it. While a visit to Taj Mahal at any time of the day is exciting, consider visiting it during night, preferably on a full moon night. The charges are a little higher for night visits, but it is worth the experience.
3. Old Delhi tour and Chandni Chowk- Fall in Love with the Chaos
This is where you get to feel the pulse of Delhi. As you make your way through narrow streets filled with people, you start wonder how people can live in such a chaotic place. But soon enough, you fall in love with the chaos and the liveliness of the place. While in Old Delhi and Chandni Chowk area, do not miss a visit to Paranthe Wali Gali, lip smacking Mutton Burra at Karim’s, traditional Indian sweets and a visit to Jama Masjid. A rickshaw ride completes the experience. You will be left thrilled by the way rickshaw puller makes his way through the crowd.
10. Take a walk from Dashashwamedh Ghat to Assi Ghat, Varanasi- Embrace Spirituality
Talking of spirituality, you just cannot leave Varanasi out. While here, consider taking a walk from Dashashwamedh Ghat to Assi Ghat. The Dashashwamedh Ghat remains most crowded most times of the day. But that shouldn’t deter your spirit. In fact, watching the religious ceremony which happens every evening at 7 is a must have experience. As you walk from Dashashwamedh to Assi, you come across several small ghats, where people are seen revering the Ganges, and some saying their final goodbyes to their departed loved ones.
37. Visit the Colonial Past with a Tram ride in Kolkata
Kolkata, with its colonial past, is a destination with a rich cultural heritage. a part of this heritage is the tram system which runs through the city- the only city in India to have a tram network. Trams in Kolkata date back to 1902. The transport system is still in good order and connects several parts of the city. It is an experience you cannot have in any other part of the country.
99. Pop a Golgappa in your mouth- A burst of flavor
Called a phuchka in Kolkata, Golgappa is one of the best Indian snacks for the evening. Filled with tangy tamarind water, it gives you a burst of flavor as it pops in your mouth. Make sure you pop in the whole golgappa at once. That’s the real fun part of having this Indian delight.
Just one last thing....Damn it, Sharanya! I told you they have wine in India!
55. Explore one of the best wine destinations of India with a Nashik Wine Trip
Indians may not be too fond of having wine, but Nashik definitely boasts of some pretty spectacular vineyards. Book a stay in one of the several resorts of the region which are located close to some of the finest vineyards of the region. Take a tour of the vineyards in Nashik, where you can even taste some pretty delicious wine too- if you know how to appreciate this drink that is.
