Well.. There is a good mix of travellers but as always, the back packers are always 18-25 ish. That's okay though as I'm pretty immature

Where I was in Goa, it was REALLY REALLY touristic. Loads of couples on package holidays and even more Russians doing trance parties. It was really hard to find solo travellers. Lots of Israelis in groups who as always didn't want to talk to anyone.....I didn't like Goa that much at all really. It's really quickly turning into the Costa del Sol

Further south though and it all gets lovely again... Paradise beaches and laid back living. A few travellers knocking about but no hostels to meet at. It's all beach huts and bars so very hard to congregate. I was told by others that this was just a 'beach' thing and that's not the case in the rest of India. I met LOADS of people in the hostel in Bombay..

I was only there a month and only really saw Bombay and the west coast. I only had a snap shot and probably didn't see the real India at all.

I am totally inspired to go back and do it all on 2 or 4 wheels. The roads are pretty nuts and just MANIC in the cities but no worse African cities or roads..

Everyone goes on about how dangerous Indian driving is but I hired bikes and scooters for a few days at a time and I found it no different to Egypt for example.
