India is used to travelers and although travelling around takes time, it is simple enough to explore for even first time backpackers. It’s relatively safe too, providing you use some sense and don’t look for trouble.
The majority of backpackers in India travel along routes that have been used by thousands and thousands of other backpackers in the past, and you’ll come across plenty of services geared especially towards the backpacker market.Local travel agents can easily be found on backpacker routes and can be used for arranging flights, visas and day trips.
Overnight buses and sleeper trains are ideal for budget conscious travelers and provide an inexpensive method of covering medium distances.
Further distances can be overcome with internal / domestic flights, which are mostly low-cost, dependable and can be booked on the day.
