East

Much like the Western Region of India, my time here is limited. However, I’m working to change this after speaking with several Bengali families during my 2009 travels. They were hard sellers on visiting Calcutta and the surrounding area. An article in the WSJ years ago told a story of the hottest peppers in the world coming from far Eastern India. Hot and spicy + me go together well.

Uttar Pradesh

Stretching from the Northern region eastward, this state is the holy land of Ganges and Yumana Rivers. It houses the iconic Taj Mahal and well reviewed Varanasi. To visit the holy city of Varanasi where one can view death square in the face is satisfying. History writes that many of India’s origins began here through the Vedic writings. Agriculture plays a strong role as Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of oilseeds in the country. It is also known as “india’s sugercane bowl”.
