REASONS TO VISIT THIS INCREDIBLE INDIA-1

There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won’t go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds. I had been seeing the world in black & white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced everything re-rendered in brilliant Technicolor.

India has been an amazing country with so much to show and give you. But then when it comes to people, they have their own reasons and definitions to tell you as to why they like India. So I have managed to gather ten common points as to why India can be visited. You will be finding this in two different articles which will make it easier for me to describe it well to you while you can also read about each thing in a bit of detailed way. After reading this I am sure you will also be booking some flight tickets to India. So read along!

1. ADVENTUROUS COUNTRY No matter where you travel to in India, a keen sense of adventure follows you everywhere you go. Whether you’re riding around the southern beaches of Goa on a Royal Enfield, trekking snow-capped mountains in the north, attempting to spot Bengal tigers and Indian elephants in the wild, or even just navigating the chaotic streets of Delhi, travelling to India is one big adventure!

2. THE HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE India is an exceptionally beautiful and architecturally diverse country filled with forts, palaces, mosques, temples, monuments and ancient ruins. Home to the world’s oldest civilization, the architecture of India is rooted in its history, religion and culture. Architectural styles have evolved under the influence of countless dynasties as well as the colonial period. There are currently 32 UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites across the nation, making India a treasure trove for history buffs and design enthusiasts.

3. RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY In India, religion and spirituality are intricately intertwined with everyday life. India is home to all of the major religions of the world and is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Observing the local people engaging in their daily rituals is a profoundly intimate experience. Many people also come to India to find spirituality, practicing yoga or attending a meditation retreat in an ashram.

4. THE CHAOS Embracing the chaos is an important part of any trip to India! There will be endless traffic jams, crowded streets, delays, incessant honking of horns, swerving motorbikes and rickshaws and many invasions of personal space. Learning to relax, going with the flow and being at peace with things happening on ‘Indian time’ will facilitate a much deeper understanding of the nation and culture.

5. THE BEACHES India’s palm-fringed southern beaches are the ideal escape from the frenetic pace of the north. While many of the popular beach destinations in Goa are now crowded, the state’s southern, more remote beaches are quiet and more pristine. My favorites are Agonda and Palolem, about 90 minutes south of Goa’s airport.

So if you are convinced and are ready to agree with me then do not forget to book some tickets to India even if they are last minute as we never know when a country calls you. Even the luxurious business class flights are available at a very luxurious price these days and so you will surely not have any problem with the traveling.
