India is one of the very few countries which can boast of a perfect blend between diversified cultures and realities. What is it that you seek? India has everything - from snow-capped mountains to beautiful sandy beaches, from rustic serenity of the many temples to the old school charm of the rural festivals, from tranquil down-to-the-earth villages to mega-structure cities boasting of multinational presence. Traveling to India has always been a unique experience for every tourist.
Traveling to India requires some pre-requisites. Although a hot spot as an exotic tourist destination, traveling in India can be a bit of a hassle if one is not aptly prepared. India boasts of a huge diversity in its climate. During no part of the year will one be able to find a uniform climate in the entire country. Ideally, the best time to come to India is the relatively cooler month to November to anywhere in mid-February. Also, one should keep in mind the purpose of the trip as an important deciding factor. If one is coming to witness the various cultural festivals, one should plan the trip keeping in mind the period when they're celebrated in the country. Many tourist operators operate with a plethora of touring options depending on the number of days of the trip to India. One can enroll in one of the tours. The Ministry of Tourism also runs various tours which are definitely worth a try. Touring with a registered tour operator also reduces the risk of any hassles that one might face while visiting India.
On the financial front, India is definitely a pleaser. India offers a variety of accommodation options ranging from the money-minded backpacker to the high-end luxurious hotels. The delicacies of India come cheap. A delicious array of food items mean that you can fill your belly without emptying your pockets. Transport wise, India has an excellent network of trains connecting almost each and every city of the country. Traveling by trains, although time consuming, is the most economical option. One could also use air travel to connect between major cities.
Although an excellent tourist destination, India poses inherent medical issues. It is advisable to consult the local ministry of external affairs about any medical advice that has been issued regarding India. Take a note of all the endemic diseases that one could face, and prepare oneself for it through proper medicines and shots. Apart from the medical issues, India has recently suffered a lot in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks. Although the situation has been contained completely now, it is advisable to check about similar issues before traveling to India. Another important fact to be kept in mind is the rich cultural heritage of India. In order to truly enjoy this cultural, one must respect it and accept it. The tourist should keep in mind the local sentiments while dressing and talking.
Exploring a country so rich in heritage is always a beautiful experience. With a few guidelines in mind, one can have the most soulful experience in India. India has everything - from the shenanigans of the dazzles of Bollywood to the mad frenzy of the religion of cricket and Sachin Tendulkar and not to mention the mouth orgasmic diversity for foodies. India is truly an incredible place. Adiba Khan
