What are the best places to visit in India?

I don't know what you have seen in the bollywood movies .But,India is not like what the show in bollywood. If you wanna visit India,visit to explore the rich heritage and culture. Some must visit places are, Tajmahal,Khajuraho,Mumbai,Goa,Kerala(All… Orissa(Bhubaneswar,Konark) ,Rajasthan. You won't get anything near to Disney land in any city ;but,In Mumbai , you have Essel World which is good. There are several other water parks and theam parks in most of the Indian cities which are not up to the western standards.

i agree 100% with bozapp. There are no theme parks like Disneyland in India, No amazing bookstores like Barnes and Noble, Bollywood is not as it seems, even bollywood movies are made at foreign locations now :) Okay , so apart from the places mentioned by Bozapp, If you want to buy glamorous bollywood stuff like jewelery, dresses, sarees etc Mumbai is the place, you will get lots of variety, cheap too!

fun parks no, if you see a fair. ride at your own peril. i saw one once all eroded and rusty, think insurance does not exist in india, hence at your own risk of life and limb....book stores? very expensive in india, went to a second hand book shop and they wanted half the price of the retail price. most of india do not read books like in the west, and that's not being nasty, only educated indians read books, never yet been to india and seen an indian reading a book. look around beach/hotel. nearly every tourist has a book to pass the time away. for cheap and tawdry tatty stuff, you only have to go to goa,, most of outside of state of goa come there to sell their stuff, you will find it all in goa..

Besides one of the seven national wonder in the world, the Taj Mahal, you can visit the Ganges River http://neatorama.cachefly.net/images/2007-09/ganges-river.jpg These sites will help you out, too: http://www.thokalath.com/tourism/placestovisit.php http://indiareadyreckoner.blogspot.com/2007/09/best-place-to-visit-in-india.html

Greetings from an Indian!! Well you have the specific reasons to come India and it is the right choice that will cater all your needs. Come straight to Delhi as it is the premium location to most of the tourist locations. Delhi is a serious shopping city and you can find almost everything there, but be cautious of the duplicates. And you can visit Agra - Jaipur - the northern himalayan ranges - kulu - Manali. Then head to either Mumbai or Kolkota and both these places are very good for shopping and specifically the Sarees and designer sarees are pretty cheap in Kolkota. Then head straight to South India through the gateway, Chennai. Visit magnificent temples and grand architectures of Mamallapuram - Madurai, then head to Bangalore which is a cool tourist destination and visit Mysore and head to Goa, which is the Folrida of India. And lastly dont forget to visit the enchanting state, Kerala..the serene backwaters, wonderful greenery and you should visit the whole of Kerala and you can take your flight back from Trivandrum or Bangalore. And regarding the purchase of books you can do that in almost all the main cities and the exclusive showrooms are Higginbothams and Landmark It is just a gist and I can give you the full details if you mail me back..Cheers!
