India represents 3 years of my life, my very first expatriation, a real emotional and cultural experience that enchanted me! Considering both the size and the diversity of India, it is almost like a continent itself. From the Himalayan range to the green landscapes in south, you will definitely find what suits you. Regarding the history and culture, we immediately think of the palaces in Rajasthan, for the nature lovers, we follow the tigers footsteps in Madhya Pradesh and its national parks. Travelers eager for wide open spaces, you will be charmed by the Himalayas, and you will have only one desire, come back to do another trek. Finally, Kerala is perfect for slow tourism, between a cruise in the backwaters on a houseboat and Ayurvedic care. I personally recommend visiting this country, think beyond the stereotypes and contact us as soon as possible to plan a trip of the 5 senses.
