India's all over the news and on the TV, but think you know it? Think again.
TV presenter and friend of The Travel Podcast, Sally Jacks, returns to share stories from her latest trip to India — and it’s not what you’d expect. Yes, there’s the Taj Mahal. Yes, there’s colour, chaos and curry. But there’s also a millionaire living in the slums. A charity feeding 60,000 kids a day. And a luxury hotel stay that cost less than your average UK B&B.
From the dizzying traffic of Mumbai to the joy of Holi, from spiritual traditions to shocking contrasts — Sally’s experiences are unforgettable, and this episode will leave you wondering why you haven’t booked India yet.
