India has long been a popular tourist hotspot, and for good reason! With its fascinating history, melting pot of cultures, diverse wildlife, and natural wonders, this huge and vibrant nation is a must-visit destination.
Delving into India's Cultural Tapestry
India is home to one of the seven wonders of the world - The Taj Mahal. Built in the 17th century by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, it’s considered to be one of the greatest architectural achievements in history. Located on the bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, the Taj Mahal is easily reached from nearby Delhi, though it’s a good idea to book ahead and get there early if you can to avoid the crowds.
Experience the vibrant celebrations of local festivals like the Pushkar Fair in Rajasthan. The largest livestock fair in India is a week-long affair that offers a unique insight into rural Indian life. Pushkar is also the holiest city for Hindus, and home to the Brahma Temple.
Exploring India's Natural Wonders
India's diverse landscapes include deserts, jungles, plains, mountain ranges, bustling cities and islands! This makes it a versatile holiday destination with something to suit every preference, whether it’s a houseboat cruise through the backwaters of Kerala, camping under the stars in the Thar Desert or a trek through the Himalayas.
Encountering India's Wildlife
India is a paradise for wildlife lovers and offers endless opportunities to get up close with iconic wildlife.
There are many national parks that are ideal for wildlife-spotting, or you can visit renowned tiger reserves like Ranthambore and Bandhavgarh to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
India is also an excellent choice for those looking for a safari experience, and you can expect to see some of the largest land-dwelling mammals, like rhinos and elephants, along with tigers, deer, bison and pelicans. Alternatively, why not opt for a snow leopard safari in the Himalayan region for a chance to spot one of these stunning, but vulnerable creatures?
Immersive Travel Experiences
For a truly memorable getaway, you’ll want to engage in activities beyond the usual tried-and-tested tourist experiences.
To deepen your connection to the country and its people, small group tours of India are a great way to travel. Whether it’s a culinary tour of a region, or a wellness retreat offering traditional Ayurveda medicine or yoga in beautiful surroundings.
By immersing yourself in these cultural, natural, and wildlife experiences, you can truly appreciate the wonders that this beautiful country has to offer, creating memories of India that will last a lifetime.
