What are some ways to experience India like a local.? |
Travel Info If I were to visit India, which I would love to do, what can I do to make my experience authentic. Where should I go? Travel Tips Well.......first of all, don't listen to any of those people who talk about cheats and things like that. Of course, like any tourist spots, you will likely encounter these kinds of people...but that does not mean u will be cheated, etc... These are some of my tips to enjoy your trip: 1) Go on a train journey. The best way to see India in all its diversity is to take a train. Try a long journey like the Thiruvananthapuram Rajdhani from Delhi to Thiruvananthapuram. You may like to keep a couple of days apart for this journey. Since the journey is long...u will invariably get acquainted with some nice people. 2) Have a meal at some typically India chain restaurant like Saravana Bhawan,Haldiram's or Nirula's. The advantage is that you can get them to temper down the spices,etc because the variety of their clientele allows them to. 3) Visit a village and see some artisans at work.. The Rural Tourism programme of India Tourism has some good options. You can try the website www.exploreruralindia.org 4) After you have been in India for a couple of weeks.....try to have some authentic Indian street food like chaat at places like Dilli Haat in Delhi. You don't essentially have to go to the street to have street food. 5) Indulge yourselves at least for one night by staying in a palace. If you look around......u can see that this is not as expensive as u may think. Enjoy the trip and take everything with an open mind. You will see many striking contrasts.....slums and skyscrapers, Maybachs and cyclerikshaws; temples, churches and mosques in the same square; billionaires and paupers, desert and forest, snow clad mountains and coral beaches all in one country.......that is why there is no better way to describe India than the official tourism tagline Incredible!!
