The wildlife reserves in Assam are beautiful and at Kaziranga there is a chance to see the vulnerable one horned rhino. I visited five reserves in all and the birdlife included examples such the Red Hornbills and others.
Amritsar is of course famous for the Golden Temple, which is the holiest site in the Sikh religion. In the Punjab it was isolated from Lahore during partition.
Kolkata as the former seat of the Raj is a really interesting place. The East India Company set up its trading headquarters here, which is reflected in its buildings. Below is the Victoria Memorial, while nearby is St Pauls cathedral.
I also include interesting areas in Old Delhi, my first stop off, associated with the Indian Mutiny. Of course I encountered some interesting transport problems along what can be a chaotic system.
