Visiting India is somewhat like <strong>travelling through time<\/strong>, in a land suspended between a mystical past and a promising future. When we ask ourselves <strong>what are the best places to visit in India<\/strong>, we should bear in mind that it is an immense nation, with<strong> more than one billion inhabitants<\/strong>. It has tens of thousands of <strong>traditions<\/strong>, stories and<strong> legends<\/strong>, each of which deserves recognition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <strong>innumerable dominations<\/strong> of the past have given India a<strong> multi-ethnic and fluid character<\/strong>, yet it remains true to itself. The various cities have characteristics that recall the passages of Muslims, English and Portuguese. It has become a sort of <strong>open-air museum<\/strong> of architectural styles and art, as well as religions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <strong>charm<\/strong> of India will carry you away, and you should prepare for a journey that will test your <strong>spirit of adaptation<\/strong>. Luxury hotels, sea, mountains, slums, deserts and tea gardens: discover with us the <strong>11 top places to visit in India!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Taj Mahal<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>What&#8217;s the <strong>first thing<\/strong> that comes to mind when you think of India? Well, it would have to be the <strong>Taj Mahal<\/strong>, right? You cannot say that you have visited India properly, without first seeing this glorious building.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Completed in 1654 at the behest of Emperor Shah Jahan as a <strong>sign of eternal love<\/strong> to his wife&#8217;s memory, the architectural complex consists of<strong> five main elements<\/strong>: the gate, the garden, the mosque, the &#8220;guest house&#8221; and the mausoleum or the <strong>tomb<\/strong> of the emperor. The <strong>height of the Taj Mahal<\/strong> is one of its most surprising features.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The central dome of the mausoleum reaches a staggering <strong>73 metres<\/strong> in height! Red sandstone covers the whole complex. The heart of the Taj Mahal, the mausoleum, is the only part entirely covered with prestigious <strong>marble<\/strong>. This means that at every hour of the day it takes on a different colour. With the scorching sun it is <strong>bright white<\/strong>, at dawn it is <strong>pink<\/strong> and at sunset, it turns<strong> red<\/strong>. Another main feature of the Taj Mahal is the<strong> replicating geometry<\/strong>, which creates exceptional <strong>symmetry<\/strong>. For example, each side of the building has a very precise pattern, which is repeated on all four sides: a niche with an octagonal pinnacle and a minaret on the side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"537\" class=\"wp-image-888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sean-robertson-Y_asWHXMwKA-unsplash-1536x806-2-1024x537.jpg\" alt=\"The majestic Taj Mahal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sean-robertson-Y_asWHXMwKA-unsplash-1536x806-2-1024x537.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sean-robertson-Y_asWHXMwKA-unsplash-1536x806-2-800x420.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sean-robertson-Y_asWHXMwKA-unsplash-1536x806-2-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sean-robertson-Y_asWHXMwKA-unsplash-1536x806-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The majestic Taj Mahal<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Taj Mahal&#8217;s interiors<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Taj Mahal interiors should be <strong>discovered<\/strong>. The fascinating thing is that there are very few images of how it is decorated since<strong> photography is forbidden<\/strong>. The <strong>main room<\/strong> is in the middle of the building and houses the<strong> cenotaphs<\/strong> of the emperor and his wife. Octagonal rooms surround this hall, and they are placed in the corners. A wonderful <strong>marble dome<\/strong> covers the entire room. In general, the interiors of the Taj Mahal are all to be discovered and will leave you breathless.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The garden of the Taj Mahal<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You will not easily forget the <strong>spectacle<\/strong> that you get in front of the Taj Mahal&#8217;s garden. A <strong>water channel<\/strong>, surrounded by <strong>flower beds and tree-lined avenues<\/strong>, which from afar reflect the <strong>entire fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> of the Taj Mahal, creating a truly unique mirror image! The garden spreads out symmetrically, thanks to the crossing of two canals, which divide it into<strong> four identical squares<\/strong>, which in turn are geometrically divided into <strong>four by the raised paths<\/strong> paved with stone. The <strong>symbolism of the number four<\/strong> is fundamental because it recalls the rivers of Islamic paradise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The black Taj Mahal<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Taj Mahal is on every list of places to visit in India, but what if we told you that Emperor Shah wanted to build <strong>another one<\/strong>? Although <strong>never completed<\/strong>, his project consisted in having a <strong>mirror image<\/strong> of the Taj Mahal carved in <strong>black marble<\/strong>. This would then become his burial place. However, fate decided for him. After being deposed from the throne by one of his beloved wife&#8217;s children, the project was abandoned. <strong>A real shame<\/strong>, yet there are still so many places to visit in India!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agra<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We have already mentioned the Taj Mahal, which dominates the scene and makes the city of <strong>Agra<\/strong> one of the places to visit in India. But this city has so much more to offer its visitors. Located just a few kilometres from New Delhi, Agra is a <strong>very rich and lively <\/strong>city. After a must-see visit to the Taj Mahal, enjoy a stroll through the streets and discover Agra&#8217;s<strong> nightlife<\/strong>. In fact, <strong>many clubs<\/strong> and <strong>discos<\/strong> are concentrated in the centre, where <strong>karaoke<\/strong> or <strong>casino<\/strong> evenings are organised. In the city, there are other mausoleums of extraordinary beauty and also <strong>numerous museums<\/strong>. For example, at the Taj Museum you can admire the <strong>typical Indian tradition<\/strong> of <strong>ceramics and jewels<\/strong> and at the <strong>Spiritual Museum<\/strong> you can dedicate yourself to the history of the Islamic and Hindu <strong>religions<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arun-geetha-viswanathan-8goGYCLzrLs-unsplash-1536x1024-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Agra Fort - Tourist access\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arun-geetha-viswanathan-8goGYCLzrLs-unsplash-1536x1024-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arun-geetha-viswanathan-8goGYCLzrLs-unsplash-1536x1024-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arun-geetha-viswanathan-8goGYCLzrLs-unsplash-1536x1024-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arun-geetha-viswanathan-8goGYCLzrLs-unsplash-1536x1024-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Agra Fort &#8211; Tourist access<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fort of Agra<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The<strong> Fort of Agra<\/strong> is almost as impressive as the Taj Mahal, but this fortress replaces poetry and romance with the charm of historic military structures. Another UNESCO heritage site, it is a semi-circular construction, of 380,000 square metres, made unique by its redness. This is due to the <strong>red sandstone<\/strong> used in its construction, which provides an <strong>extraordinary appearance<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t miss the two access doors, the<strong> Delhi Gate<\/strong> and the <strong>Lahore Gate<\/strong> (also known as Amar Singh Gate). The Delhi Gate is considered the most attractive and the most important one at the fort. Constructed in 1568, it was the emperor&#8217;s formal entrance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Andaman and Nicobar Islands<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Two <strong>archipelagos<\/strong> packed with charm and altogether formed by well <strong>over 550<\/strong> islands and islets. Ladies and gentlemen, these are the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. These <strong>wild islands<\/strong> located in the <strong>Bay of Bengal<\/strong> are actually the peaks of a submerged <strong>mountain range<\/strong>. It stretches from Myanmar to Sumatra, Indonesia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although the islands are countless, <strong>not all<\/strong> of them are <strong>accessible<\/strong> by foreign tourists and some are even off-limits to Indian citizens. In fact, in the Nicobar Islands there are still <strong>indigenous communities<\/strong>. In particular, two tribes, the <strong>Jarawa<\/strong> and the <strong>Sentinels<\/strong>, must be protected from contact with the civilised world, to preserve their traditions and their <strong>ancestral lifestyle<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, tourists can only reach a dozen of the <strong>Andaman<\/strong> Islands. Usually, you start from the capital, <strong>Port Blair<\/strong>, to do excursions. This city is very lively and home to the <strong>Gandhi Marine Park<\/strong> and the old prison, Kala Pani, which is now a museum. Among the various islands and beaches you can reach, you could give yourself a <strong>day in Neil<\/strong>. It is a very small island and a real <strong>tropical paradise<\/strong> with beautiful vegetation and an unforgettable <strong>coral reef<\/strong>. Or enjoy a sunny day on <strong>Kalipur beach<\/strong>, an ideal place for <strong>nesting turtles<\/strong>. Think that this is the only beach in the world where up to four different species of turtles live.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But <strong>when should you go<\/strong> to the Andaman Islands? <strong>Throughout the year<\/strong>, temperatures range <strong>from 25\u00b0 to 33\u00b0 <\/strong>and the same applies to sea temperature. The best time to avoid the abundant summer rains is between <strong>January and June<\/strong>, while August is not recommended. In general, all you need here is a costume and a hat to protect yourself from the scorching sun to enjoy the spectacle of nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tatonomusic-1X3YSIuqYeM-unsplash-1536x1025-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Andaman Islands\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tatonomusic-1X3YSIuqYeM-unsplash-1536x1025-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tatonomusic-1X3YSIuqYeM-unsplash-1536x1025-2-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tatonomusic-1X3YSIuqYeM-unsplash-1536x1025-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tatonomusic-1X3YSIuqYeM-unsplash-1536x1025-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Andaman Islands<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Varanasi and the Ganges River<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Among the many places to visit in India, surely the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/destinations\/india-rajasthan-taj-mahal\">Varanasi<\/a> and the<strong> river Ganges<\/strong> that crosses it are those that in everyone&#8217;s imagination immediately make you think of India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here&#8217;s some help for your summer crossword puzzles: Varanasi&#8217;s <strong>other name<\/strong> is <strong>Benares<\/strong> or Banaras. The name derives from the two tributaries of the Ganges that determine the boundaries of the city, namely the Varuna and the Asi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This city is<strong> one of the oldest in the world<\/strong>, as it has been inhabited for about <strong>3,500 years<\/strong>, and one of the most important <strong>sacred places<\/strong> in India. At least once in their lives, all the faithful come here to immerse themselves in the sacred waters of the Ganges from at least four different points. The best time to be a spectator of this ritual is at <strong>dawn<\/strong> when tourists have not yet filled the streets. In Varanasi there are also <strong>cremations<\/strong> of the bodies along the <strong>ghats<\/strong>. That is the <strong>stairs<\/strong> and the squares that overlook the Sacred River Ganges. This<strong> ritual<\/strong> allows the faithful deceased to escape the cycle of reincarnation and access the <strong>paradise of Shiva<\/strong> directly. That is why millions of Hindus, especially the elderly, have chosen Varanasi as their place to die over the centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After strolling along the river and its <strong>88 ghats<\/strong>, you can visit numerous<strong> temples<\/strong>, such as the <strong>Aces Ghat<\/strong>, known as the temple of the monkeys. It is a building painted in deep red, dedicated to the goddess Durga. Hundreds of worshippers come here every day to leave <strong>offerings<\/strong> in exchange for the goddess&#8217;s blessing, in the form of<strong> candy and flower necklaces<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Have you ever thought about taking a <strong>cruise along the Ganges<\/strong>? On the river, numerous boats are jumping at the opportunity to give you a distinct and unique perspective of the city. <strong>Slow and mystical navigation<\/strong> through Hindu traditions: seeing is believing!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-891\" style=\"width: 768px; height: 1024px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/srivatsan-balaji-dz42hvd61BE-unsplash-1152x1536-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The famous ghats on the Ganges River\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/srivatsan-balaji-dz42hvd61BE-unsplash-1152x1536-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/srivatsan-balaji-dz42hvd61BE-unsplash-1152x1536-2-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/srivatsan-balaji-dz42hvd61BE-unsplash-1152x1536-2-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/srivatsan-balaji-dz42hvd61BE-unsplash-1152x1536-2.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The famous ghats on the Ganges River<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ellora and Ajanta<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering where the best places to visit in India are, hold on tight because the Ellora and Ajanta caves will <strong>blow your mind<\/strong>! We are in the state of Maharashtra, in the<strong> heart of India<\/strong>. These caves are actually <strong>monasteries dug into the rock<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A <strong>UNESCO World<\/strong> Heritage Site since 1983, the <strong>caves of Ajanta<\/strong> are located in a horseshoe-shaped escarpment, which follows the curve of the river below. The caves of Ajanta can be dated to the <strong>second century BC<\/strong>. They contain paintings and sculptures considered the cornerstones of <strong>religious art<\/strong>. Covered by vegetation, the entrances of the caves will look like s<strong>mall windows<\/strong> on the rock from a distance. In reality, they develop a series of <strong>paths, colonnades, temples<\/strong> and rooms decorated with <strong>ancient bas-reliefs <\/strong>inside. I mean, you&#8217;re gonna feel like you&#8217;re going into a <strong>hidden city<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A hundred kilometres away is another World Heritage Site: the <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/243\/\">Caves of Ellora<\/a>. It is a complex of <strong>34 caves <\/strong>used as temples, which have always been a <strong>pilgrimage destination<\/strong> for three great religions, namely <strong>Buddhism, Brahmanism and Jainism<\/strong>, as the caves are divided for each type of creed. The Buddhist caves were thought to be the oldest. However, it has been proven that the Hindu caves were built before the others, around the fifth century A.D. It&#8217;s time to let yourself be carried away by the charm of religious art and discover every small temple.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/temple-g10672595c_1280-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The interior of the Ellora caves\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/temple-g10672595c_1280-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/temple-g10672595c_1280-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/temple-g10672595c_1280-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/temple-g10672595c_1280-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The interior of the Ellora caves<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fort of Mehrangarh in Jodhpur<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Situated on a<strong> hill<\/strong>, 400 metres above the city of Jodhpur stands the <strong>Mehrangarh<\/strong>, called <strong>Majestic Fort<\/strong>. It is a fortress in the state of Rajasthan. This place was <strong>home<\/strong> to the Indian <strong>Rathore clan<\/strong>. It was also home to the rulers around 1458, the year the fort was erected. Today, it has become a <strong>museum<\/strong> that is one of the places to visit in India, as well as a reference point for Indian culture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The building is accessed through <strong>seven portals<\/strong> and here you start to climb higher and higher. This <strong>walk through the sandstone<\/strong> walls full of carved inlays is just the beginning of the visit. <strong>Each room<\/strong> of the palace hides <strong>incredible treasures<\/strong> of Indian tradition. Such as the sumptuous <strong>palanquins<\/strong> that were used to ride elephants or objects dedicated to <strong>opium smoke<\/strong>. Between one room and another, you will discover <strong>beautiful courtyards<\/strong>. Here you can admire the<strong> facades<\/strong> of the palace decorated by the<strong> Jali<\/strong>, the <strong>perforated watermark windows<\/strong>, where women hid to attend external events. <strong>The Maharaja&#8217;s bedroom<\/strong> is a masterpiece of reflections given by the <strong>hundreds of mirrors<\/strong> that decorate the ceiling, walls and floor. A single light was enough to illuminate the environment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>From the fort, you will have an <strong>all-round view<\/strong> of the<strong> blue city of Jodhpur<\/strong>. Its nickname obviously derives from the blue paint that colors most of the buildings, once used to distinguish the homes of members of the <strong>highest caste of society<\/strong>. The heart of Jodhpur is the old city, which is surrounded by 10 <strong>kilometres of walls<\/strong>, interrupted by seven portals; inside you will find wonderful palaces and the <strong>iconic bazaar.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/makm-photography-u0irC_UnbOk-unsplash-1-1536x1024-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The view of the blue city from Mehrangarh Fort Hill\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/makm-photography-u0irC_UnbOk-unsplash-1-1536x1024-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/makm-photography-u0irC_UnbOk-unsplash-1-1536x1024-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/makm-photography-u0irC_UnbOk-unsplash-1-1536x1024-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/makm-photography-u0irC_UnbOk-unsplash-1-1536x1024-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The view of the blue city from Mehrangarh Fort Hill<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pink city: Jaipur<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The state of Rajasthan offers another <strong>pearl<\/strong> to visit, <strong>Jaipur<\/strong>. It is called a pink city because of the colour of the <strong>sandstone<\/strong> that decorates many buildings. The city was founded in 1728 by Maharaja Jai Singh II and differs from the others for its <strong>reticular plan<\/strong>, marked by wide <strong>tree-lined<\/strong> avenues, somewhat <strong>modern<\/strong> for its time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Among the things to see in this city, there is the <strong>Jaipur Palace<\/strong>, Maharaja&#8217;s historic residence. A <strong>huge structure<\/strong> with numerous courtyards, two museums and an armoury. The <strong>Courtyard of the Peacock<\/strong>, the most famous among the many in the palace, consists of <strong>four doors<\/strong> that represent the four seasons. The <strong>Hava Mahal<\/strong> is a <strong>five-storey complex<\/strong> with a beautiful fa\u00e7ade, which has almost a thousand niches and <strong>windows<\/strong>, all <strong>worked with lace<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Jaipur is home to one of the world&#8217;s largest <strong>astronomical observatories<\/strong>, the <strong>Jantar Mantar<\/strong>. Included among the <strong>UNESCO<\/strong> World Heritage sites, it was built in 1700 and houses all the tools used at the time to make forecasts on the harvest and <strong>horoscopes<\/strong>, as well as to <strong>measure time<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Jaipur, in addition to its beautiful historic buildings, with more than <strong>3 million inhabitants<\/strong>, is <strong>chaotic <\/strong>and <strong>noisy<\/strong> and, like all the great cities of India, full of contradictions, but still fascinating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-894\" style=\"width: 840px; height: 560px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dexter-fernandes-y97sM41-g9k-unsplash-1536x1024-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Palace of Winds in Jaipur\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dexter-fernandes-y97sM41-g9k-unsplash-1536x1024-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dexter-fernandes-y97sM41-g9k-unsplash-1536x1024-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dexter-fernandes-y97sM41-g9k-unsplash-1536x1024-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dexter-fernandes-y97sM41-g9k-unsplash-1536x1024-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Palace of Winds in Jaipur<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mumbai<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Mumbai holds the world record for being the city with the <strong>highest population density<\/strong>. More than 13 million inhabitants in a territory of 31,000 square kilometres. The <strong>capital of the state Maharashtra<\/strong> is located on the west coast of the country and is one of the best places to visit in India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This metropolis develops around a <strong>vast port<\/strong>, the hub of <strong>Indian<\/strong> navigation and <strong>commerce<\/strong>. It occupies <strong>two islands<\/strong> off the coast, the homonymous <strong>Mumbai<\/strong> to the south and the island of <strong>Salsette<\/strong> to the north, connected by bridges. Over the centuries, Mumbai has become the <strong>crossroads of cultures<\/strong>. This is thanks to the numerous dominations, from the Hindu empire, through the <strong>Muslims<\/strong> and finally the <strong>Portuguese<\/strong> and the <strong>English<\/strong>. What should you visit in Mumbai?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the most iconic stops is the <strong>Taj Mahal Palace<\/strong>. It is a hotel built in 1903, overlooking the Arabian Sea. <strong>Luxury<\/strong> is the master here, with <strong>elegant furnishings<\/strong> inspired by Indian tradition. Inside, you will find dozens of<strong> restaurants<\/strong> and plenty of <strong>shops<\/strong>. The walk from here continues through the streets of <strong>Colaba<\/strong>, an <strong>area<\/strong> on the<strong> seafront<\/strong> that, in addition to being very touristy and full of shops, is the<strong> city&#8217;s financial hub<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The English left many traces of their culture in Mumbai. Just think of the massive <strong>Portal of India<\/strong>, a <strong>26-metre<\/strong> tall base, erected on the occasion of the arrival of <strong>King George V<\/strong>. This structure stands out among the various buildings of the city and is one of the <strong>symbols of Mumbai<\/strong>. It overlooks the sea and is composed of a large<strong> yellow basalt arch <\/strong>surrounded by four turrets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Also worth mentioning are the <strong>Elephanta Caves<\/strong>, on the homonymous island not far from the port of Mumbai, and the beautiful<strong> Haji Ali Mosque<\/strong>. The latter, coloured in white thanks to its marble, <strong>seems to hover <\/strong>on the waters of the Arabian Sea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/meric-dagli-rvegUP-pNYU-unsplash-1229x1536-2-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai\r\n\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/meric-dagli-rvegUP-pNYU-unsplash-1229x1536-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/meric-dagli-rvegUP-pNYU-unsplash-1229x1536-2-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/meric-dagli-rvegUP-pNYU-unsplash-1229x1536-2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/meric-dagli-rvegUP-pNYU-unsplash-1229x1536-2-864x1080.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/meric-dagli-rvegUP-pNYU-unsplash-1229x1536-2.jpg 1229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kerala<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Moving into the <strong>deep south<\/strong> of India we find <strong>Kerala<\/strong>. It is a <strong>narrow and elongated state<\/strong> overlooking the <strong>Indian Ocean<\/strong>, ideal for a holiday in <strong>nature<\/strong> and <strong>very<\/strong> <strong>relaxing<\/strong>. Here you will feel like you are in another country. Life in Kerala has <strong>nothing to do with the chaos of Indian metropolises<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>From the north to the south of the state you will come across <strong>fine sand<\/strong> and numerous <strong>palm<\/strong> trees that will shade you on the beach. The Indian Ocean&#8217;s <strong>water is constantly warm<\/strong> and you can take a dip in a <strong>picture-postcard<\/strong> setting. Alternatively, heading<strong> inland<\/strong> you can navigate <strong>backwaters<\/strong>, or the inland waters of Kerala. For 900 kilometres a real <strong>maze of canals<\/strong> develops, along which you can see the inhabitants fishing and a succession of mosques, houses, churches and temples.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After a nice <strong>Ayurvedic massage<\/strong> you are ready for another excursion to discover the <strong>tea plantations<\/strong>: one of the things to see in India. In fact, you&#8217;ll find many tours in the <strong>mountains of Ghati<\/strong> to visit these crops that look like the <strong>drawing of a painter<\/strong>. You can see the locals collecting and drying tea leaves, sipping a cup and <strong>visiting the factories.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The best time to visit Kerala is <strong>between December and February<\/strong> when there is little rainfall. In general, you can decide when to go, because the <strong>climate is mild<\/strong> and the sea is always warm!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-896\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/nature-photographer-29ezCWtMtnM-unsplash-1536x864-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Kerala's inland canals\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/nature-photographer-29ezCWtMtnM-unsplash-1536x864-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/nature-photographer-29ezCWtMtnM-unsplash-1536x864-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/nature-photographer-29ezCWtMtnM-unsplash-1536x864-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/nature-photographer-29ezCWtMtnM-unsplash-1536x864-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Kerala&#8217;s inland canals<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Delhi<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>No, you can&#8217;t go to India without visiting its <strong>capital<\/strong>, New Delhi! This city is the seat of government of the most populous liberal democracy in the world. That would be enough. New Delhi&#8217;s <strong>history<\/strong> and <strong>culture <\/strong>deserve almost a separate essay. There is undoubtedly a multitude of things to see in this city. We must first distinguish between the<strong> old city<\/strong> and the <strong>new city<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Visit the <strong>Akshardham Temple<\/strong>, the largest of the Hindus, truly majestic and imposing. Although it is a very recent temple, it still manages to leave you breathless thanks to its<strong> immense gardens<\/strong> and finely decorated interiors. We <strong>forbid<\/strong> taking videos or photos and <strong>cell phones<\/strong>. It is an experience of immersion in<strong> silence<\/strong> and religion<strong> without distractions<\/strong>: one of the most beautiful places to visit in India!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Move on to visit the <strong>Tomb of Emperor Humayun<\/strong>. This place was created at the behest of his wife. <strong>UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> Sites included this place for its majesty. Over the decades, it has become the <strong>mausoleum of the imperial family<\/strong>, containing the <strong>tombs<\/strong> of more than <strong>150<\/strong> royal members.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss the <strong>Lodhi Gardens<\/strong>, an <strong>immense green area<\/strong> full of palm trees, flowers and bridges that connect the tombs of the rulers of the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties. Here too the inhabitants of New Delhi themselves love to <strong>relax<\/strong> and breathe<strong> clean air<\/strong>. The area is far from the hustle and bustle. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or just to keep fit by doing yoga and jogging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"548\" class=\"wp-image-897\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mohsin-khan-uhw2YjBrNgg-unsplash-1536x822-2-1024x548.jpg\" alt=\"Emperor Humayun's Tomb in New Dehl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mohsin-khan-uhw2YjBrNgg-unsplash-1536x822-2-1024x548.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mohsin-khan-uhw2YjBrNgg-unsplash-1536x822-2-800x428.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mohsin-khan-uhw2YjBrNgg-unsplash-1536x822-2-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mohsin-khan-uhw2YjBrNgg-unsplash-1536x822-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Emperor Humayun&#8217;s Tomb in New Dehl<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Thar Desert<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You cannot skip the famous <strong>Thar desert<\/strong> among the places to visit in India. Known as the <strong>Great Indian Desert<\/strong>, originally one of the routes of the <strong>Silk Road<\/strong>. This area extends over <strong>four states<\/strong>. Unique landscapes among <strong>dunes<\/strong>, <strong>stones<\/strong> and <strong>very little mostly bushy vegetation<\/strong> characterise this desert. Despite the harsh territory, the<strong> fauna<\/strong> <strong>is rich<\/strong>. <strong>Indian gazelles<\/strong>, <strong>antelopes <\/strong>and <strong>wild donkeys<\/strong> inhabit this area, together with numerous<strong> migratory birds <\/strong>and <strong>rare endemic reptiles<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <strong>extraordinary<\/strong> nature of the Thar desert, scorched by the sun, is shown in its<strong> oases<\/strong>, the only inhabited areas. For example, there is the <strong>Jaisalmer oasis<\/strong>, where <strong>camels are bred<\/strong> and <strong>gypsum<\/strong> and salt are extracted. Even today, you can visit the <strong>caravans of nomads<\/strong> passing through these isolated inhabited centres. In the desert, you can take numerous <strong>excursions by jeep<\/strong> and even <strong>walks with camels<\/strong>. What matters is to always be equipped for the <strong>temperature excursion<\/strong> in the morning and at night. The temperatures fluctuate massively between 50 degrees during the day in the summer and -5 degrees at night during the winter months!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" class=\"wp-image-898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sergio-capuzzimati-4peNzunv1JU-unsplash-1536x878-2-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"The oasis of Jaisalmer in the Thar desert\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sergio-capuzzimati-4peNzunv1JU-unsplash-1536x878-2-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sergio-capuzzimati-4peNzunv1JU-unsplash-1536x878-2-800x457.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sergio-capuzzimati-4peNzunv1JU-unsplash-1536x878-2-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.weroad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sergio-capuzzimati-4peNzunv1JU-unsplash-1536x878-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The oasis of Jaisalmer in the Thar desert<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organised group trips to India<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this article, we have ranged from the adventure of deserts and wild islands to the millennial history of cities, passing through a very deep spirituality.
