The interesting aspect of this tour is going to be travel by road / the upcoming national highways in the country which give a glimpse of the changing face of India. The modern highways contrasted with villages on its sides and sometimes watching bullock carts on the same roads, makes one often gasp "Incredible India" ! One experiences varied lifestyles, urban as well as rural, mouth watering cuisines and colourful attires. It is specially interesting to observe the faces and the expressions change, some welcoming, some naughty, some smiling and some indifferent and so on, from one destination to another.
