In October and November 2012, at the behest of my wife, we spent just over 4 weeks in many parts of India with the aim of both sightseeing and fulfilling her Buddhist quests. She had a great time visiting many religious sites and attending a Dalai Lama lecture in Dharamsala. I, for much of the journey, suffered a variety of ailments including many bouts of Delhi belly, worms, chest infection etc. She is very keen to return to India next year. Should I dare to accompany her again?

Anyone can get sick anywhere they travel in the world. India is a developing country so you have to be careful where you go and what you eat. I travelled around India on my own for 3 months some years ago and yes I became sick for over a week and it was awful, however the incredible experiences far out weigh the bad experiences I had in India. If you enjoyed other things about India then you should go back.....I would in a heartbeat!
