FIRST TIME IN INDIA?

primavolta2-1Yes, you too can go to India, because India is the origin of everything. India is a country where the divine is in people’s gestures. India is a magical universe of people and landscapes, with plots so complex that they can intimidate the traveler. If you plan to visit India, some travel tips can be helpful to you too. When you want to use a tuk tuk, do not let yourself be led where the driver wants, but repeat clearly where you want to go. If you decide to rent a car, beware the contractual form because it is preferable to pay by the day, no one on the km. Make at least one trip in a train, because these trains are the places where people talk and ask questions, and where you make great friendships.primavolta3-1

Talk to the Indians, even if you do not know their language, and you will find that it is also possible to communicate without speaking the same language! Warning! The swinging of the Indians head does not mean negation but affirmation! Indians are curious, they love to make contact with foreigners (sometimes even inviting them at home, at parties and weddings). These visits in homes, together with the knowledge of families, are a way to see a part of India that otherwise you would remain unknown. When you’re at a friend’s house, take your shoes off before entering (it’s polite to leave them out).perimavolta4-1

Yes, it’s true: you do not want travel to India just to get in a cinema, but go to see at least a Bollywood movie! See a film, surrounded by enthusiastic spectators singing, it is an unmissable experience! Especially traveling in Punjab, they ask you to take pictures with you (a practice became popular). Before you leave, you can choose to read something about India and Hinduism, why will help you understand many things, not related to religion. As soon as possible, you may choose to visit the Hindu temples, remaining a long time, because it’s important to live your surroundings and what you feel inside you.primavolta5-1

Never take for granted any price, because also the rates of the hotels are negotiable! Visiting markets (even those not intended for tourists), faces and colors, sounds and music will enchant you, perhaps most of the visit to an artistic monument. When you decide to eat, do not forget that Indian food in your stomach may cause problems (try to start with lighter fare, try after more spicy. When at the end of your trip to India you will greet your charming tour guide, remember that here you should never kiss a woman in public to greet her (very well will go join your palms in front of you, adding your “namaste”.
