I don't know why I'm tagged in this post, but I do admire India's natural landscape. Unfortunately, many can't escape the stereotypes and have to associate everything India with poverty. It's sad that the human brain is wired in such a way, and I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, because I do the same myself.

Anyhow, I'm planning on visiting India either in 2016 or 2017, any suggestions how I should plan a week long trip, or is that too short?

Post your query in indiamike.
