I'll give my perspective on traveling in India as an American backpacker. I traveled solo in Northwest India for 10 weeks in late 2013.
I spent most of my time in Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Mumbai. India is enormous and I barely skimmed the surface. Also, I'll admit that I spent a lot of time in traveler heavy spots vs. getting off the beaten track.
I'll talk about the rewarding and challenging parts of traveling in India from my perspective.
I've also traveled/lived in Latin America (16 months total) and traveled around New Zealand (4 months). I realize those are entirely different places but I can't help but draw comparisons between traveling there vs. traveling in India.
TLDR:
India is an incredibly diverse, interesting, and affordable place to backpack around. Most Indians are very welcoming and helpful. It's quite cheap to be there and you'll practically never run out of things to do/see.
However, India can be extremely challenging for many travelers. Most travelers will have to deal with many hassles, annoyances, sicknesses, and cultural differences. India is definitely not for everyone(and perhaps not for most).
