India is a place where you can find a combination of modern and ancient civilizations. Here you will be amazed by the different languages, historical monuments, beautiful beaches and everything in between.

Aside from the world famous Taj Mahal, other famous destinations that you can include in your India travel itinerary are Ladakh, and Garhwal & Kumaon. Ladakh is a mountainous desert in the Himalayan watershed. The place is abundant with wildflowers, various species of birds, both resident and migratory, different kinds of mountain animals, and of course hospitable and cheerful locals. These people are a combination of different ethic strains.

Garhwal and Kumaon, on the other hand, are regions of Uttar Pradesh and are also known as Uttarakhand. Here you can find the temples of Badrinath and Kedarnath, which are recognized as destinations for pilgrimages. Many people seek spiritual refuge and enlightenment in this land due to the inspiration you can get from the beautiful scenery.

In summer, India travel is also great. You can have a Himalayan adventure to give you relief from the scorching sun. In the Himalayans, you can go to Shimla, the summer capital of India, and forget about the hot weather while enjoying yourself with the picturesque views and landscapes.

Here are some tips to make your India travel more enjoyable and fulfilling:

- Read and research before traveling to India. Having a little knowledge of the country will help you have a great experience there.

- Some travelers might be worried about accommodations in India. This should not be a concern since like most tourist destinations, India has hotels that are at par with international standards. Their 5 star and 4 star hotels can be considered as some of the best in the world. There are also hotels and lodges for those who are on tight in budget.

- If you plan to travel to India during tourist season which is from October to March, or May to June, which is the Indian holiday, be sure to arrange your bookings early so you get a better accommodation and amenities.

- English is used in most tourist centers in India. If you are a non-English speaker, you can get tour guides who can speak your own language to help you in your India travel. There are guides who can speak French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese or Russian.

- Indian people are friendly and will be more than willing to help you at your destination. There might be some Indian who will gaze at you, but it’s only for curiosity and interest, not mean to be rude.

- Just like traveling to any foreign place, drink only bottled water or bottled drinks.

- India is famous for spicy food. However if you are not used to it, keep away from it or take it one meal at a time. After a few days, your body will become acquainted with their food and you will enjoy tasting Indian food, which is one of the most delicious in the world. Also, it is not recommended to stick to raw food.

- Don’t forget to bring your own medicines as there might be some medicines that are not available in India.

- Last but not least, remove your footwear when entering a place of worship in India. There are also some temples where leather things are not permissible on the premises. Some temples are also open to Hindus only.

Overall, it is safe to travel to India, contrary to what you have read about the place. You can hire a travel planner or tour operator to help make your India travel a memorable one.
