Still unconvinced?
Here are 7 wonderful reasons why you should visit India once in your lifetime, and then keep going back:
Beauty
From breathtaking monuments such as the Taj Mahal, to pristine beaches, mountains and forests – India is a living piece of art. The beauty of the country is not lost on its people either, who are often decorated in exuberant clothing and jewellery. This beauty of the Indian people also comes from ‘within’ with their enthusiastic friendliness, warm-hearted hospitality and spiritual sincerity. India simply must be experienced.
Diversity
A melting pot of different cultures and beliefs, the diversity of India’s people is astounding. Home to many major religions, India is also the originating country of Hinduism and Buddhism. Despite such variety, the nation’s people maintain an inspiring sense of unity. This is regularly witnessed at spectacular religious festivals, where thousands come to celebrate.
History
As you’d expect, a country with a history spanning thousands of years has an incredible story to offer its visitors. India’s story is one of invasion, religious inception, epic love stories, mistakes, conquests, innovation and unyielding tradition. It is a history which clearly lingers in the country, immortalised by sacred buildings, monuments and landscapes. It is a history which, once learned, will never leave you.
Food
Of all the ways you can experience India, connecting with the country through its food is surely one of the best. India provides one of the most awakening culinary experiences imaginable. Sometimes hot, usually colourful, but always wonderful – whether you are sampling the addictive street food or dining in one of the many eclectic restaurants.
