Unforgettable, Immersive Asia Experiences Beyond Sightseeing

It is a fact of travel life that if you book yourself on a holiday package, it is more like sightseeing rather than an unforgettably immersive experience of the place you visit. This is true of Asia where the surface can hide plenty of things underneath that you get only if you take the trouble to explore more in detail through a custom travel experience. When you compare Indian countries like China and India, the two are known for vast geographical areas and a melting pot of ethnic cultures that vary as you travel from one end to the other. A standard package tour gets you a bird’s eye view, nothing more.



Consider India, for instance. The geography varies from the cold Himalayan ranges in the North to hot lush tropical forests of Kerala in the South and the dry arid deserts of Rajasthan to the scenic splendours of the North East. If you plan to join any of the India travel and tours packages, you can only visit a few places due to time constraints. If travel operators try to pack in a lot in a few days, this means you miss out on those quaint flavours of each place that bring you in closer touch with the people and culture. The country is as much about monuments and geography as it is about culture and food. You need a customized tour experience. Your experience could focus on adventure and action, of which there is plenty in your India tour by way of mountain climbing, navigating the rapids and trekking in the Himalayas or the North East India in Sikkim and Arundachal Pradesh. You could just as well wish to go camping and there are options of camping in the vast deserts of Rajasthan or in the meadows of Kashmir. If nature is what you are after, then Kerala could be your preferred destination. It could also be an opportunity to live life the way people do in India, living either in a host family or on a houseboat as it navigates the backwaters of Alleppey.



There is more to India. Your tour could be a gastronomic tour. Each region has its ethnic specialties. You could spend days sampling culinary delights as you travel from one region to another. Is it possible to cook in so many different ways and add exquisite flavour to ordinary ingredients you might ask ? India knowledge and tour experience, arranged by specialists in the business with ties to local tour operators gets you the benefit of their wisdom and knowledge.

India can also look different and feel different depending on when you visit. Summers are definitely meant for a visit to hilly and mountainous regions or to spend time with tribal families in the North East, such as Sikkim or Arundachal Pradesh. Winter is a time of festivities. Visit this exotic country around Diwali and you will find lights and festivities. Take a trip during Holi and you could participate in spraying colour. Kite flying on 14th January in the Western region opens your eye to another perspective of this country. Visit around October-November and you could participate in group dances during Navratri, celebrated with much fervour in Gujarat. What you get out of the tour depends on you and the tour operator you choose.
