I am a regular traveller of india for last 20 years whenever i go on home leave from workplaces in gulf.
Many non indian travellers claim that you will turn in to a different and better person after your experience with india.
My observations about india
1. India is huge country with every imaginable landscape, people and nature, from deserts to cold himalayas, from rain forests of south and North east to Sunderbans, Mangrove forest. Rivers, lakes, mountains, different oceans, islands, deltas and marine life.
2. In gulf its said that there are people of 72 nationalities in india, quite true ! We have people almost from many nationalities, Iranians, Israeli's, chinese, and so on....
3. Arts and culture-There are so many classical dances, song and music forms in addition to several hundred folk dances, songs and music forms. Contemporary is competing with Hollywood !
4. Cuisine- Cuisine is varied. You can eat several types of cuisins during the day at different restaurants or as paying guests etc.
5. Connectivity- You can travel on buses, trains and flights for days together and yet cant see even a half of it !
6. You really dont need language to travel, many signs are in english. People are friendly.Language anyway changes every 12 miles in india.
7. There are freakout places where young and old tourist can stay for months together these are
Goa, Vashishta( Manali),Varkala, Varanasi, Hrishikesh,Hamphi.
These places are naturally beautiful and you can walk few kilometers daily with sightseeing and food/ drinks.
You may feel like staying there for months together.
8. If you had enough with the mainland, then go to islands which are quite, andamans or Lakshadweep, far bigger, cheaper than mauritius in size and numbers.
9. Living and travelling in india is cheap than many other countries, so you can make most out of your money !
