In Pictures: Britain's William and Kate visit India and Bhutan

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge played cricket with children and mingled with Bollywood superstars in India last Sunday (April 10). The royal couple then touched down at Bhutan's international airport four days later, where they met Bhutan's King and Queen and enjoyed archery. They also trekked to the Tiger's Nest, an ancient Buddhist monastery perched 3,000m up a mountain. Their week-long tour ended back in India on Saturday at the Taj Mahal, revisiting the scene of a solo - and much photographed - visit in 1992 by the late Princess Diana.
