India Wellness Vacations
Stretching from the mountain ranges in the north to the palm-lined beaches and jungles in the south, the Republic of India is a mosaic of culture, religion and abundant natural beauty. One visit does not do the country justice. A good starting point is to follow the Golden Triangle, which connects Delhi, Jaipur and Agra (the location of the world-famous Taj Mahal). The best time to visit is between late October and March when it’s cool, dry and sunny, before high temperatures and the monsoon rains arrive.

Promise of Rejuvenation
From yoga ashrams to wellness centers and spas, India’s energetic core transcends centuries. India is also home to the modern wellness movement with its ancient healing practices rooted in yoga, meditation, naturopathy and Ayurveda. If you’re looking for somewhere to practice yoga, tune into your spiritual self and indulge in pampering therapeutic treatments, Goa on the southwestern coast is emerging as the go-to. For a taste of something other than beach life, North Goa boasts verdant naturescapes and is a sanctuary waiting to be explored with waterfalls and secret caves.
Watch the World Go By
India may be a labyrinth of hustle bustle but there are also plenty of places to escape and retreat. Head south to the meandering backwaters and beaches of Kerala where you can rent a houseboat and let the world float by. The wild frontier of the Himalayas offers rich natural beauty, stunning landscapes and Buddhist monasteries. Thanks to a mesmerizing desert, colossal forts and palaces, the state of Rajasthan is not to be missed. One of the most exciting things to do here is to camp in the Thar desert and glamp amidst the rolling sand dunes.
India on a Plate
Food is the essence of India. And the cuisine is as diverse as its multi-ethnic culture. Every region has a claim to fame marked by complex spices, herbs and style of cooking. Surprisingly, the biggest myth surrounding Indian cuisine is that India is primarily a vegetarian country. Recent research reveals that only 20% of the population does not eat meat. One of the best Indian curry dishes of all time is rogan josh, boneless lamb simmered in a sauce of yogurt, shallots and red chilies. Butter chicken is another famous dish popular among the meat-eating set.
