Holidays in India

April is the time to wake up after a long winter, rejoice in the warming spring sun and think about the upcoming vacation, for example, in the sunny country-nirvana - India. Moreover, most tour operators offer discounted prices subject to early booking.

Some choose India as the most budget-friendly holiday option, while others are attracted by the mystery of this amazing country: unusual mandalas for all occasions, mysterious strangers in colorful saris who can dance like in no other country in the world, fascinating with the plasticity of hand movements painted with outlandish patterns from henna and basma. This is truly a country of contrasts: aromas that are stunning either in their depth and astringency, or in their stench. Pure gold here borders on incredible poverty and rags. You can either love this country or hate it, there is no other. But if you can still feel the atmosphere of India, catch the beating of a mysterious heart, the eastern country will reciprocate you.
