The top 5 things to do in India
1. Taj Mahal
Both India's most famous building and perhaps the world's, the Taj Mahal is astonishing. Built as a monument to emperor Shah Jahan's beloved wife, it's a splendid building or pearly white marble and stunning towers. It’s famous for being among the most perfectly proportioned/symmetrical buildings in the world.
2. Ajanta Caves
This impressive Buddhist monument is dated from the 2nd century BCE. Consisting of awe-inspiring rock carvings and religious halls shaped into cliffs, it's one of the world's most poignant sites. Contemplate the many centuries that have passed since this world heritage site was first constructed.
3. Varanasi
This is the India you've always dreamed of. It's the holiest place in Hinduism and home to vibrant colour, ritual and worship. Pilgrims come to wash their sins in the Ganges while others cremate the recently passed. This is India at its purest – so prepare for an enriching experience.
4. Hampi
This was once a powerful Hindu capital. Today, its temples and fortresses spread for miles across dusty terrain. It's a surprisingly romantic and timeless place, thanks to its stunning rock formations and long-forgotten feel. Chief among the attractions here is the 7th-century Virupaksha Temple.
5. Mumbai
Mumbai is the world's most frenetic yet fascinating city. Sprawled over 7 distinct islands, it's a wonderland for art and architecture lovers. Nowhere else will you find such a melting pot of Victorian grandeur, art deco apartments and colonial forts. Thankfully, this astonishing history and culture are represented in some of India’s finest museums.

When is the best time to go on holiday in India
India is a vast country with many microclimates. Still, the high season is generally between December to March. This means warm days but cool nights in many of the country's major cities. More northerly areas like Ladakh are exceptionally cold, however, and are best visited in summer. The shoulder season from June to November can be just as delightful, but monsoon rains persist through summer. The low season sees low hotel prices but extremely hot weather from April through June. Ensure that your travel times meet your destination in India to avoid uncomfortable weather or crowds.
Going on holiday in India
India's major metropolitan areas are serviced by comprehensive international airports. Indira Gandhi in Delhi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Mumbai and Kempegowda in Bengaluru are among the most convenient options. Once you've arrived in India, you'll find most major centres offer regional air travel. Flights are cheap, with plenty of budget airlines running daily. On the whole, transport across the country is both frequent and inexpensive, but it can be slow. The rail network, in particular, is a must-do at least once during your visit. Sleeper trains are a fantastic way to travel cross-country and an experience in their own right.
