India Tourist Information. Welcome to India!

Dear visitor, welcome to my India web pages. Here you will find tourist information, photographs, videos and travel tips from the main tourist destinations in India.

India is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. There are so many things to visit, and its culture is so different from ours, that in order to understand India you need plenty of time, at least six months. If you have only one month or less, you will have to stick to one of its regions. To fully understand India you need to visit this country several times.

Although each region has its own climate, in general the best season to travel to Central and North India is Spring (October-December) and Fall (March-May). Summer (June-September) can be a little too hot. Winters (January-February) may be cold, windy and gray. The South can be visited anytime, but the best season is from December to May, when the weather is at its best.

Traveling around India on your own is quite easy. You can move around by train, bus, car or plane. For long distances, planes are the best option. There are several low cost companies that will take you almost anywhere in India. Buses are OK for short distances, but for longer distances the train is recommended. Traveling by train requires time, though. You have to book the train tickets in advance (usually one weeK). You should buy First Class, Second Class AC and Third Class AC tickets. Renting a car is not an option in India. If you want to travel by car, you can rent a car with a driver. Most hotels and travel agencies in India can arrange a tour with a driver.

People in India are very friendly and kind, but note that English is not widely spoken. You will need some time to get used to the local food, always tasty and spicy, as well.
