I grew up in India. I’m told it’s different now so I’ll just say that I haven’t lived there in decades and my experience was that you would not routinely have a nice parking lot on a paved road that led to a nice viewpoint. You could get there but there is no guarantee of the safe path unless you knew a local and if you went from point A to point B you didn’t have signs pointing out things of significance.

The extensive network of well-signposted trails and so on that I’m now used to were not a common feature of my life there. For what it’s worth, I did have experiences there that one doesn’t routinely have here that were nonetheless an educational part of my life.
