Student Photo Gallery: India

With a population of over 1 billion people, India is the second most populous country in the world, with a diversity of cultures and richness in history that makes it a one of the most transformative ports amongst Semester at Sea students. This is a collection of photos taken by the shipboard community during our six days in this amazing country.
