This is for the Indian and Bangladeshi members on this forum-
Starting Dec 1, I will be travelling to India and Bangladesh as part of an official project.
I will be in India for approximately 3 months and will be stationed in New Delhi, with some travel to Mumbai, Kolkatta and Bangalore.
Immediately thereafter i will be going to Bangladesh for about 4 weeks (exact duration undecided as of now) and will be based in Dhakka.
Its been a while since i visited India, so can the Indian members here give some pointers on intersting things to do in one's spare time. I am not too keen on the historical tours since i have done them in my previous visits, am more keen to see the "new India"- so any help on places to go, things to see etc (eg- I love art, theater and tennis). any possibility of visiting a defence establishment? would love to see some Indian aircraft, esp the much talked about SU30 MKI (i know this is asking for too much, but you never know
)
while in Dhakka, what do the Bangladeshi members recommend- stuff on similar lines as above, though i would not mind a historical tour as well.
Oh, yes - a bit of advice on the day to day security scene as well in both countries please. I have a fair idea about the pros and cons of big indian cities, but things change so just want to be sure.
How about dhaka? how safe is it for a female foreigner to roam about on weekends?
thanks in advance....
