Notes on Mamallapuram

My first time to India was in 2007 where I visited Mumbai and some of the southern states. I was told that the south is so more relaxed than the north, but having never been to the north I had no way of comparing. I came back to India again in 2011, this time flying […]

May 2, 2011 By James Clark 11 Comments

Bodhgaya, India

India has three of the four most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the world, with the fourth being in Nepal.
