India is not so much a country that one comes to "see", but a country that comes to discover it, an assault for all the senses, a country that feels itself, a country that enriches us inside; a unique country that you just have to experiment with!
Traveling through the incredible India is much more than just a trip. Yes, it can be a challenge first, but with the right attitude, an open mind and an open heart and your trip to India could only change your life.
Since India is such a vast and diverse country, trying to define the best Indian experiences to live is almost an impossible task and it would take a lifetime to experience all that incredible India has to offer.
We want to offer you some of the experiences not to be missed!

Taj Mahal
The most obvious one out of the way first: the Taj Mahal is a cliche but no Indian adventure would be complete without a visit. Go as early in the morning as you can to miss the worst of the crowds and enjoy your first glance of the Taj Mahal rising ethereally out of the misty morning light.

Old Delhi
India’s cities can feel a little chaotic or overwhelming at first but it’s all part of the experience. Delhi is a city overflowing with history.

Getting lost and finding yourself amongst the and the chaos of Old Delhi is an essential part of a trip to India.

Weddings in India
