A Rough Guide to India

Aside from Israel, India is also known to be a place to go if you want to seek spiritually. It’s probably one of the most exotic and enigmatic country that you’ll ever visit in this lifetime. It has a lot of character and it’s got a colorful culture that is very irresistible for you not to be eager to learn about.

There is a lot going on in this country that will never fail to create an eager beaver in you to be part of it and witness all those events that makes up the Indian culture. This country is known to be multidimensional because of those things that leave the people interested on their customs, beliefs and lifestyle.

India is for hardcore culture vultures and who have serious curiosity about history. There are challenges staying in this country especially when it comes to the heat that you should really be prepared of. There are about 1 billion people living here so make sure that you pack with you the most comfortable clothes that you have and that they are perfect for summer cause it’s literally hot in here!

The temples in this country are a must to visit. For some reason, I actually think that these serene spiritual fortresses are actually the very foundation of India and its rich spiritual culture. You can also enjoy the beach while in here and gaze upon the lantern-lit towns that are definitely camera worthy.

The people here are very warm and that you won’t feel away from home on how they accommodate their guests. Hotels are also available in the city especially if you’ll be staying in Mumbai. The cost of living here is pretty affordable that I would suggest you go and check in on a hotel rather than renting an apartment.

India is full of historical facts and one of the places that people go here to see is the Taj Mahal. Coming to India is NEVER complete if you haven’t seen the Taj. According to its history, it is a mausoleum that is made of white marbles and it is where the remains of Mumtaz Mahal lays as she was the third wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It’s impossible that you won’t be amazed on the architectural structure of this building. It is one of India’s finest architectural masterpieces influenced by Persia, Turkey and India itself.

Another architectural structure that you should see is the Gateway of India. Located in Mumbai, this monument will stun you on how it was intricately built. It’s even more fascinating when the sun hits its walls and you’ll see how it glistens during the day.

Moreover, India is what I would like to consider as a very romantic country. With all the exotic things that you can find here, it’s impossible that you won’t find romance in this place. Take a trip with your special someone on a boat streaming down the River of Ganges. You’ll get to see Ghats and used to be palaces while rowing and enjoying a very serene ambiance.

Come here around 5:30 in the morning because the weather is cool at the same time, witness the sun rising as its ray hit on those pilgrims’ walls and see how the colors of this lovely place could capture your eyes. You can also come here early at night and take a chance to light a lotus flower candle and leave it on the water.  Boat rates can be pricey at times but it’s really up to you if you can make a great bargain with the boatman. The trick is to be firm when making a deal with them.

Your trip in this country is impossible without learning about their food. If you are vegan, then you have come to the right place! Don’t be surprised if you don’t see any burgers or any meat being cooked around. Even their fast food chains are free from your usual cheeseburger made of 100% cow meat. But hey, they have a lot of good food as well especially their authentic curry! If you love shopping for spices, this country will load you up with theirs.

India will surprise you in a good way as their diversity can teach you a lot of things from their culture to their arts, from their food to their technology. I suggest that you visit India as soon as possible and I can guarantee you that you won’t come home as the same person. This country can change you.
