Thumbs up A taste of India - video travelogue

Just came across the travel site of NDTV.com, website of India's premier TV News channel.

http://travels.ndtv.com/travelogue.asp

It features short videos of dozens of holiday locations in India. Each clip is about 6-7 minutes long. To watch, first select a location and then click on Watch Video on next page.

You will need Windows Media Player for this. The streaming quality isn't great...but just enough to give you a taste of India. Hopefully, it'll bring back some memories or give a brief preview of what to expect.

Some locations do not have videos listed for them so try another.

Hey Veronique ...good to know you found it useful. So Goa is out of question for shopping, you aren't staying in Bombay for long and you're having second thoughts about Chennai?

Looks to me like the answer is Delhi

Thanks Jay but the video clips are in English and unfortunately not very clear.

Anyway, I later found this page that lists all the videos on that site: http://travel.ndtv.com/videosmain.asp
