Ever been to India or planning to visit? India is not impossible at all to travel, it's just little tricky at times. One might find it annoying and waste of time and money but in reality, it's paradise for the traveler souls. Countries like in Europe are crafted during the recent history while India is being crafted over the long time. So it had to be different.
While travelling to India, you might find handy the below points because these are the problems and joys I keep feeling being an Indian.
Several times, I had been stuck in the crowded and narrow streets of the cities where cars can't even enter the way. No doubt, it tells you the shortest paths. I am not here to scare you of Navigation Services but just to inform you. Avoid the shortest paths as these may turn into single lane streets. If you are using such service, try travelling through the main Highways.
The cities like New Delhi, metro-cities to be specific, are equipped with a fast and dynamic metro. But other places where metros are not available uses buses, trains and cabs. Buses and trains being crowded leaves you with no choice but cabs. But it's all same sort of thing because of Traffic Jams.
So choose you outing timings carefully and avoid peak hour(office rush).
The weather of India is like a girl with mood-swings. It starts to rain and the very next moment, there would be bright and warm sun making a rainbow! On a day with chilling breezes you might want to wear your sneakers but on beach, the scenario would be totally different where "chappals" would be the best option. One can't predict which shoes he's going to wear the next morning!
In the season of spring, one simple just can't predict the rain. It rains anytime without any prior indication. Apart from spring, in some areas of the country, it's 12 months a rainy season. Today it would be rain and next day would be a simple warm and cozy sun.
Throughout the whole year, there happens to be some kind of festival in different regions of the country. And by festival, I mean the crowd. The streets are crowded and you might regret taking a car in streets. Just roam around on foot, click some good pictures of Indians celebrating the festival and go back to your hotel.
One of the reason that Bar culture is getting popular in India is that Indian people are getting used to the concept of "try everything and regret nothing". This has made cities full of bars and lounges. Foreigners might find the booze cheap because of their "thick dollars"!! Avoid getting so drunk that you couldn't even go back to your hotel. Drink less and stay safe.
People are often confused about how long their stay should be. They are worried that they would get bored here. But the reality is time would pass anyhow. One can't be bored in India. There are tones of places and one is never lack of places. There are many things that one can try here. Biking is one of such things following yoga, meditation, hiking, etc.
Note: You might have heard many things about India but in reality it's a great country to travel and awesome in people's hospitality. Have one thing in mind that you are India's guest and you'll be treated well enough to make you remember the trip throughout your lifetime.
