India Map and information on India, Click here Entered India, 12th September 2000. The surface varies from very good to the worst 'sealed' road I have ever seen.
Traffic is bad everywhere, and very dangerous driving practices.
Like Pakistan, traffic the real limitation. There is a toll road, but motorcycles are not allowed on it, which is normal for all Asian countries. I only saw the North Western corner of India on this leg of my trip, and I have to say that the experience was better than I expected. I had expected to see poverty and filth, which is so often portrayed in the media. Yes there was some, but the India I saw is a far more wealthy and advanced country than Pakistan, and more expensive.
