India is one of the most popular Asian destinations for Cameroonians — renowned, affordable medical tourism, higher education, and spectacular heritage. The tourist e-Visa is applied for online and opens the door to the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra with its Taj Mahal, pink-hued Jaipur) and then the beaches of Goa. Colours, spices and temples: an intense sensory shock, best enjoyed with a few precautions around water and food.
