  • Guest Culture You are honoured if you could find an Indian family and get invited for a meal. This is the best way to taste the traditional cuisine of the land. If you are invited, remember to take a small gift with you to offer them. Guests are supposed to bring something for the host. Leave your footwear outside.
  • Religion All major religions are present in India. The Indians tend to be quite a little sensitive in this genre. Thus, it is better to keep your opinions to yourself. If you see a temple for rats, just go with it. If you find people feeding snakes with milk, just watch and enjoy the scene. Every religion is celebrated and enjoyed in a respectful way and it is the basis of the diverse culture in India.
  • Your English is fine English is one of the official languages of the country. Although only a small part of the country’s population speaks English, it is quite easier to get around the country by knowing nothing but English. This is because the land is multilingual. Every state has a unique language, which the neighbouring state is not aware. Thus, English is the axis of this diversity. Your accent and style of speaking would not sound funny to anyone.
  • Cuisine Do you know that Indian cuisine has more than 140 types of desserts? Every state has its own cuisine. In some cases, each region of the state has its style of menu. Thus, if you are looking for a food-based vacation, India is more than welcoming with banana leaf plate and rich-ghee flavoured cooking. Are you planning to take some of these flavours back home? Do not worry; India has the largest spice market in the world.
  • Cricket is a Religion Of all the sports in the world, cricket is the main attraction in India. There are numerous stadiums around the country. Visit any of the stadiums to get the cricket fever. Do you know that the world’s highest cricket ground is in India? At the height of 2444 m, Chail Cricket Ground is the highest ground built in 19th century in Himachal Pradesh.
  • Elephant Ride Have you heard the stereotype of Indians riding on elephants? We have news for you. It is half-true. The elephant is a symbol of pride and royalty. You can find a spa for elephants, where you can bath, feed, play and enjoy with elephants.
