India
A land of discovery

Sunset at Pushkar Since Siddhartha's Journey to The East, seekers of truth have travelled India. In the 1960's hippies called India home hanging out in tropical paradise.  Today the hippy hangouts have become fashionable and affordable holiday resorts with services and amenities to rival any in the English speaking world. For the modern visitor, India may be a place of learning, or a fantastic and affordable holiday destination.

India has a rich history, it has been invaded by successive armies including the Mongols to Alexander the Great, and India has survived them all. Kings and Maharaja's have ruled, the British left their language, beaurocracy and railways yet a unique and distinctly Indian civilization remains strong today.

The sub continent of India is spread over 3.28 million square kilometres and the landscape moves from towering Himalayan mountains in the north, to desert regions of Rajasthan and the tropical beauty of Kerala in the south.

Jaipur MarketWith a population of around 1.04 billion, you will find the complete spectrum of humanity from the wealthy aristocracy, rising middle class and beggars in the streets. But rich or poor, the Indian people have a ready smile and friendly nature.

India is well connected with all parts of the world by air and sea and there is no best time to go although in the northern hemisphere summer, it can be very hot, in the monsoon season, very wet and humid and a winter in the north may include snow.

The trekking season in Himalayas starts around April and ends in November and the ski season run roughly between January and March.

Those willing to embrace local culture can live very inexpensively. In the 1980's, US$2000.00 would be sufficient for all living and travel expenses for a year. Converted today US$1000.00 gives R45,309.71 which is more than a years salary for many Indian workers.

India is a great place to shop as crafts people produce a wide range of beautiful works including hand made carpets and jewellery.

Indian cooking is colourful, aromatic and the third most popular cuisine in the world. Though for those staying longer what is commonly known as "Delhi Belly" or diarrhoea is common. The simplest natural remedy is to only eat a vegetarian diet, and when affected, drink only boiled water, boiled rice and fresh yogurt.

As a general rule, never drink tap water without first treating it, do not eat meat except from select restaurants, never eat uncooked vegetables,  and only eat fruit that you peel yourself.  Carry a good first aide kit and a water sterilizer.

Other attractions are great rail journeys, camel riding, mountaineering, visiting Ashrams and Holy places, Icons like the Taj Mahal, the old city of New Delhi and the beach resorts of Goa.

Health
With mass poverty, there are many diseases and a majority of travellers experience 'Delhi Belly' or stomach upset and diarrhea. This is minimised by eating only a vegetarian diet and never drinking untreated water.

Allopathic medicine is overtaking the traditional Ayurvedic medicine, however Avurveda is widely practiced and there are many traditional nature care centres in India based on the Vedic approach to health.
