India

A kaleidoscope of colors, flavors, and ancient traditions where every journey becomes a transformative experience.

Taj Mahal

Incredible India

India is a land that overwhelms the senses in the most beautiful way. From the snow-capped Himalayas to the tropical beaches of Kerala, from the deserts of Rajasthan to the backwaters of the south, this vast country offers a lifetime of exploration.

The cultural richness is unparalleled, with thousands of years of history visible in magnificent palaces, ancient temples, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Taj Mahal alone draws millions, but India has countless treasures waiting beyond the obvious landmarks.

Indian cuisine is a universe unto itself, with each state offering completely different flavors, ingredients, and cooking traditions. From street-side chai and samosas to elaborate thali meals, every bite tells a story of regional pride and culinary artistry.

Travel Tips

🍽️

Start Mild with Spice

Indian food can be intensely spicy. Start with milder dishes and work your way up. Yogurt-based raita and lassi help cool the palate between dishes.

💧

Drink Bottled Water

Always drink sealed bottled water and avoid ice in drinks at street stalls. Carry hand sanitizer and be cautious with raw foods until your stomach adjusts.

👗

Dress Conservatively

Modest clothing is appreciated, especially at temples and in rural areas. Cover shoulders and knees, and carry a scarf for temple visits.

🚕

Use Ride-Hailing Apps

Uber and Ola are widely available in Indian cities and much easier than negotiating with auto-rickshaw drivers. Always confirm the route before departing.

💰

Bargain Everywhere

Haggling is expected at markets and with transport. Start at about one-third the asking price and negotiate with a smile. Fixed-price shops exist too.

🏥

Get Travel Insurance

Comprehensive travel insurance is essential for India. Ensure it covers medical evacuation and activities you plan to do like trekking or water sports.
