People trekking around on their gap year in India may like to take in the myriad delights of Goa while they are away, it has been suggested.

According to the Daily Mail, Goa can be a really cheap destination where a evening meal for two with wine can amount to just over £10.

The surroundings are idyllic and restful and "the beaches are as clean as they have been for several decades following a local government clampdown," the newspaper explains.

Those on a gap year in India who decide to use the hub as a point of entry into the country only have a seven-hour flight ahead of them, it adds.

One famous face who loves all that India has to offer is Jode Kidd. She told the Telegraph last month that her favourite travel destination is India, with its "whirls of noise and smells" and "hordes of people at bustling markets".
