Himalayas

While in India, you will be presented with an enormous array of potential activities to participate in. Since you are only going to be in town for a few weeks, you want to make sure that you are seeing and experiencing all the best that India has to offer. One of the most famous sites in India, if not the world, are the Himalayas. The Himalaya mountain range is regarded as the most breathtaking and impressive mountain range anywhere. It is quickly becoming one of the world’s most visited adventure zones. Traveling along the trails throughout the range will instill a sense of calm and appreciation for the natural beauty of India.

Tajmahal

Once you return from your Himalayan adventure, you can continue to explore the best of India by visiting one of its most famous attractions. Set amongst the wonderful ambience of a pristine garden, theTajmahal is like no other monument in the world. Constructed over 350 years ago, the Tajmahal is visited by millions of travelers every year, and is considered one of the most popular world heritage monuments on earth. One of the most interesting things about the building is how its look changes throughout the day. Whether you are viewing the Tajmahal at dawn, noon, or midnight, it is sure to leave you speechless.

Mumbai

If you are curious about what life is like in a big city in India, you should consider spending a few days of your vacation in the amazingly diverse city of Mumbai. Mumbai is a cultural melting pot that features many of the best aspects of Indian life and culture. The streets are filled with bazaars, high rise buildings, malls, palaces, slums, and everything in between. It is a very fast paced city that you can easily spend the day getting lost in. However, that is surely part of the fun. Mumbai is located on the edge of the Arabian Sea, and used to be known around the world as Bombay. However, the city was renamed in 1996 after the Goddess Mumba Devi.

As you can see, there are a plethora of amazing activities and sites to enjoy while you vacation in India. Again, do not dismiss the possibility of taking such a fantastic trip because you think it is out of your budget. With careful planning, and the help of internet travel agencies, you will find that you can put together an unforgettable trip to India for far less than you expect.

One of the best ways to get the full experience of the country is to rent a home while you are there.
