Lonely Planet writer Lindsay Brown describes why he loves Rajasthan, Delhi & Agra. "India's largest state is also one of its most connected, with a network of railways between all the major cities. Train travel is the ideal way to step out of the tourist bubble and immerse yourself in the world of everyday Rajasthan. Here new technologies race ahead but old technologies linger. Camel carts still thread the chaotic streets now dominated by combustion engines. Wandering the old alleys and bazaars, you still come across tea and spice dealers, with ancient weighing scales being the only obvious technology in sight. (Oh sure, there's a smartphone tucked away somewhere)."
