India is as diverse as its 28 states. The states are largely delimited by linguistic lines. Their size varies a lot; some states are larger than some nation states in Europe.

Location

According to Countryaah, India is a subcontinent in Asia. It borders on Tibet / China, Pakistan, Nepal, Burma, Bangladesh and Bhutan.

The Indian states and union territories can be summarized in the following regions: Himalaya – mountainous, magical landscape. Offers something for both the adventurer and the spiritually inclined. This is also where the disputed Kashmir region is located.

Central India – the heart of India with the capital New Delhi. The Ganges and Yamuna rivers flow through the area. In addition, many events that shape the history of India took place here.

West Indies – desert areas and pretty but crowded cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bikaner, Goa. The largest city, bustling Bombay (now known as Mumbai), is also here; also beautiful beaches and Bollywood (Indian film industry in Bombay).

East India – the most rural region of India; largest city is Calcutta (now known as Kolkata); the temple cities of Puri and Bhubaneswar, both in the state of Orissa.

Northeast India – remote and fragile; beautiful landscapes and the famous tea gardens.

South India – colored Hindu temples, tropical forests, the reservoirs of Kerala, beaches, the ghats of Karnataka and the archipelagos off the coast.

Security

India has repeatedly been the target of terrorist attacks. The place and time cannot be predicted, attacks can take place anywhere.
Safest means of transport is in sight, the web is of long trips on the road – India has more than 100,000 annually deaths. The roads are in poor condition and the driving skills of many Indians are on the lowest level. In addition, a large number of vehicles are hardly fit to drive. Traffic offenses are usually compensated with bribery.

Climate

The year is essentially divided into summer, winter and rainy season, which differ from region to region. In the summer months from April to June, the heat can only be endured in the mountains.

From July to August is the rainy season (monsoon). Umbrellas and / or rainwear are recommended here, but provide insufficient protection against the constant heavy rain and the all-pervading moisture.

In the winter monthsDecember to February it can get very cool at night in the north, as most houses and apartments are only inadequately protected against the cold. During this time, transitional clothing is appropriate. Scarves and hats protect you from the wind on rickshaw trips, a warm sleeping bag from the cold at night. In general, however, winter is climatically the most pleasant travel time for most areas.

Highlights

Should you still get sick in India, you can go to a traditional Ayurveda therapist for treatment. More and more people from Europe are flying to India to get rid of their chronic diseases there. Or attend a yoga class to stay healthy. This movement theory is part of the Indian tradition and gets the cycle going.
