Travel story

Is this the destination for you?

During your first trip to India, you'll expect to discover colours, smells and spirituality. The reality is superb but sometimes different from a postcard land.

You should go if

  • You are interested in temples and history
  • You are looking for a diversity of the Himalayan mountainous landscapes, the Rajasthan desert, Kerala beach... India has everything
  • You are prepared for a cultural shock
  • You are open-minded, ready to discover a radically different culture without judging it
  • You like spicy foods, naan breads and vegetarian dishes
  • You are stimulated by adventures, you like discovering remote places and coming across unexpected encounters

You shouldn't go if

  • You have a phobia of cockroaches, present in all hot and humid climates, you are bound to come across them in India
  • You don't like crowds: 1.2 billion inhabitants in the country, you will never be alone!
  • You don't like spicy food, because even when you order "non spicy" food in an Indian restaurant, your dish will be spicier than any other Indian dish served in Europe
  • You are sensitive to pollution, smells and noises
