ASIA India
It is impossible to describe India as one destination - for the simple reason that is is MANY! The diversity of culture, religion, wildlife and scenery is huge and so it is best treated as a wonderful selection of holidays. The things which are constant throughout this huge country are the colour and warmth, the bustle and calmness - and the beauty.
Traditionally, Europeans think of taking a holiday to India during winter because they are worried about the heat. However, there are many good reasons to travel to India during their summer - not least the tempting prices! Below is a list of reasons to take your Indian holiday in summer:
· The best value possible - you get to stay in some of the finest hotels in the world at prices that you would pay for a 4 star hotel in the winter.
· For wildlife lovers, late April and May are the best time of the year to see the famous Indian tiger. This elusive animal stays closer to the water during this time, and is more easily seen.
· It is cooler than you think! Particularly in the desert regions of Rajasthan, the peak heat is between 11:30 am and 4:30 pm, when you could relax and enjoy your hotel. Sightseeing can be done in relative comfort in the early mornings and the evenings. The Indian summer is not hotter than many other destinations that you would consider visiting in the summer months - Dubai, Spain, Miami, etc.
· Enjoy the monuments without the crowds - you have the luxury of visiting the monuments in the cities you visit, without having hundreds of tour buses present at the same time.
· Enjoy the hotels - with lower summer occupancies, you can enjoy the hotels to their fullest. Use the spa without having to book it in advance, step into the restaurants without a reservation, have the pool to yourself.....
