WHY VISIT

“This is India; the land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of a thousand nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of tradition — the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the globe combined.” Mark Twain

India is diverse, glamorous and beguiling, splendid and romantic, energetic and colourful, the entire country is awash with colourful travel experiences for the daring, the cautious and the curious traveller. India lays claim to the soaring snow-capped Himalaya mountains, the sleepy rhythmic kerala backwaters, the cultural Golden Triangle and everything in between, not to mention the splendid Mughal architecture of the infamous Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb and Agra Fort, and some of the world’s most outstanding luxury and exotic hotels.

WHEN TO VISIT

North India - The best time to visit most of the country is during the cool, dry season (September - Mid-April), when the weather is pleasant and stable, and it’s a perfect time for those who want to enjoy the festivals of North India - Diwali, held in November  is one of India’s most popular festivals, and visitors come from around the world to witness the festival of lights, worshipping and offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi.

South India - The dry season (October - March) is the ideal time of year to visit southern India. Use these reliable months to visit India as a whole, but especially for exploring the calmer southern states at a comfortable temperature ranging between 20-30°C.

 

HOW TO GET THERE

There are direct flights from Helsinki , Stockholm and Denmark  to Delhi & connecting flights via Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Frankfurt to Mumbai, Chennai, Cochin, Hyderabad and Bangalore. Direct flight times are between 7 - 8 hours. India has an excellent network of domestic flights and combining the north and south is easy.
