Whether you're looking for inspiration for your next holiday or for practical information about places you'd like to visit, Off The Beaten Track is the place to find it.

All travel stories are indexed by destination country and part of them also by type of vacation: bicycle vacations, walking holidays and city breaks. New travelogues are added frequently. This is our most recent travel story:

From Calcutta to Delhi

Traveling from Calcutta to Delhi you can see many cultural highlights, in Bishnupur, Agra, Dhanbad, Bodhgaya, Varanasi and Jaipur. Street life is busy and bizarre, but outside the crowded cities are paddies and villages without cars. The poverty is just like you see on tv, the only difference is that you can't zap away from disturbing images. 21 photos.
