It is one of the most preferred tourist destinations, and travelers from all over the globe come here.

If you are going to travel to India sometime soon, here are some tips that you should look at:

1.    Where to chill and relax

If you want to go for a peaceful and relaxed walk on the beach, visit Goa, Kannoor, Mangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Pondicherry, Andaman or Gokarna (Karnataka).

If you wish to go for a trek, Kashmir is an ideal place with its wonderful valleys and snow peaked mountains. It is also popularly known as the heaven on earth. Your visit to India will not be complete without visiting this place.

2.    The Amazing Wildlife

The Indian subcontinent is endowed with the most diverse landscape and climatic conditions that serve as an ideal habitat for the vast variety of flora and fauna. Numerous Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks have been established all over India with the objective of securing the future of endangered species by conserving them in their natural environments. The best states to have the most memorable experience are Assam, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and many others.

Kerala, also known as God’s own country offers the most beautiful and panoramic view of nature. Mother Nature has showered all its blessings to this tourist destination.

3.    Regions for history lovers

Rajasthan and Karnataka, are some of the tourist-friendly states for history lovers.

If you want to offer your prayers, you may visit Bodh Gaya, Tirupati, Golden Temple (Amritsar) and Ajmer.

Meanwhile, if you want to experience how it is like to meditate like Elizabeth Gilbert in “Eat, Pray, Love,” then you could spend a week or two in Agra, where the famous Taj Mahal is located. There are also several temples located near this city wherein you can take meditative yoga classes to get rid of mental and emotional stress.

4.    Experiencing Local Life in India

On the other hand, some travelers would want to experience what it is like to live like a local in India. Well, if you're going to see how it is like to be in the middle of the country’s bustling streets, then the best place to go to is Delhi.

It is in Delhi where you get to see not just historical landmarks but also business centers, street food vendors and fancy restaurants, all of which make the country diverse in regards to culture and lifestyle. This is also the city where you get to see most of the British influence in the country, so you’d never miss out on the Western experience as well.

5.    The Serene land

North India offers a different breath of fresh air to travelers. Unlike the crowded urban communities where traffic jams and overpopulation are frequent, the towns of the North are calmer and more relaxed. You may want to go on a cruise of the Ganges River that takes you to the northern part of the country, where it shares borders with Nepal.

In this region, you will find more places to meditate, and the water in the river is much cleaner and safer to bathe. It would then be more enticing for you to get a first-hand experience on how Hindus wash the sins from their bodies by soaking in this river that they hold sacred.

Traveling to India using cryptocurrency

At the moment, India has volatile views on cryptocurrency. Thus it can be a hurdle if you intend to do all of your travel expenses through your digital assets when in the country. However, Xceltrip has made it possible to use your digital assets through its various merchant establishments where you can book your airline tickets, hotel accommodations, and even pay for food at the restaurant you dine at, so that you wouldn’t experience unnecessary hassles once you’re in India.
