Bijapur: Escaping the tourist
"water Pani, pani water!, Coldrins!, Coldrins!, Chai, chai, chai!" You'll hear this song on trains in India and over again. Trains are cheap, comfortable and where nothing is missing.
If you have chosen to visit the north and center of the country and start to feel sick so much Lonely Planet, in both sheep, both foreigner in every corner and shoddy-mannered scammers not very flattering, go to Bijapur.
Bijapur is a city half Hindu and half Muslim, relatively close to Hampi, Goa and Mumbai, full of beautiful mosques and a lot of kids tourists should see only the day 32 of each month.
In the heart of the city is the impressive mosque of Gol Gumbaz. It is called the whispering gallery that carries a message through 38 meters in 11 consecutive repetitions.
If the novelty of going in a rickshaw you have tired, why not get on a tonga, this is a horse carriage, and stroll through the city. Loitering
for markets with no one to harass you, make purchases that are really worth doing without getting ripped off, getting into a local movie theater without understanding anything. Bijapur is, without doubt, a good place to see India without distortions, without the falsity of tourism and its pseudo-reality skin-deep.
