An Australian traveller exploring India has shared his fascination with the country’s geographical and cultural diversity, saying the picture often presented in the West fails to capture just how different one region can be from another. From Rajasthan’s deserts to the Himalayas and Kashmir’s ski slopes, he pointed to his own travels as an example of how dramatically the landscape and experiences can change across the country.

Often in the West, we portray India under this one umbrella term, however, it’s simply not the case. I’m currently in the Himalayas, mate. Just down here is where the Dalai Lama himself resides. Just over a month ago, I was riding camels through the deserts of Rajasthan. Pullman also spoke about learning to paraglide while travelling in Himachal Pradesh, saying the experience would have been significantly more expensive back home.
If I go like 10 hours that way, you reach Kashmir, some of the best skiing in the world.
