Travel to India
Taj Mahal, Rajasthan, Kerala & spirituality — India in all its diversity
India is much more than a destination: it is a continent in its own right, an absolute sensory shock that shakes you up, fascinates you, and leaves travelers marked forever.
From the majestic Taj Mahal of Agra to the flamboyant palaces of Rajasthan, from the backwaters of Kerala to the sacred ghats of Varanasi, via the Himalayan peaks of Ladakh and the beaches of Goa: India offers a diversity of landscapes, cultures, and civilizations that is unique in the world.
The best time to visit India is from October to March: mild temperatures, blue skies, and ideal conditions for exploring the North and Center of the country. Kerala and the South are at their best from November to March, while the monsoon (June–September) turns the landscapes of the North into a deluge of water and mud.
