India, more than a country …

India felt more like travelling many countries or even a whole continent rather than any individual country. The various regions have different languages, cultures, habits, traditions, heritages and even climate. Each place has its own charm and beauty as well as its individual challenges, but we wouldn’t want to miss a single one we visited and each brought unique experiences and learnings. Overall, we found India to be much more accessible and a lot less intimidating than expected, however, the sheer size of the country and the amount of things to see make it difficult to see it all in one go. We have been here for 45 days and could easily spend another 45 days and would still not have covered all the major sights, hence we definitely will be back some day.
