India is an unsafe country – demolishing myths and truths about traveling to India:
They say that traveling through India is unsafe… what do you think?
Like any country in the world, India has its safe side and its unsafe side. The point is that India is BIG, and being the second most populous country on the planet, any situation or going out into the street can turn into something chaotic. That is why it is very important to know where to go and how to get around the places you visit. Traveling to India on your own is much more difficult than doing it in an organized way, and if you do not have previous experience traveling alone or do not know the country, it is not recommended to do it independently.
Traveling to India is exhausting and you cannot rest:
One thing leads to another and any poorly prepared trip can be exhausting.
It is true that in the case of India, and given the large number of people and the cultural difference that we can find, everything has a higher level of intensity. There are thousands of stimuli that are constantly received, and that can become overwhelming, for this very reason it is important that you travel accompanied by people who know, who know the destination and who have already had previous experiences in the country.
This will therefore make the itinerary better constructed and you will always have some moments to rest. Although India is not a destination specifically for relaxation, on a well-done trip, moments of enjoyment cannot be missing.

Traveling to India is going to see poverty:

So beyond the poverty or wealth that can be witnessed, India is above all and transversally its people. Kind, cheerful, spiritual people with a sense of humility that is sometimes hard to find in the West.
