It’s cliche, but many travellers set off on a gap year with the aim of learning something about themselves while they are away.

Particularly for younger travellers who may be unsure of what they want to do with their lives, a gap year could help them identify their strengths and weaknesses as well as the things they enjoy.

If this is your goal, then India could be your best choice of destination, according to Cheapflights.co.uk.

The price comparison website named India as one of the top ten places in the world to take a gap year in its recent run-down.

It described the country as “synonymous with spirituality and teeming with life”.

“”http://www.I-to-I.com/india.html">India is not only a place to learn about other cultures – which the subcontinent has in abundance – but to discover yourself," the site stated.

And it insisted that whatever travellers are looking for, whether it is traditional villages or bustling 21st century cities, they will find it in India.
