India is a country of enormous cultural diversity, particularly in the north where the vast Gangetic Plain meets the Himalaya. Here India's history is perhaps at its most complex, manifested in the profusion of religions and landscapes. We visit the Golden Temple of the Sikhs at Amritsar as well as Pragpur, a World Heritage Village, and Mcleod Ganj, home to the Dalai Lama. We end with Shimla, the former 'summer capital' of the British Raj and, of course, the exquisite Taj Mahal.
