» Discover Indian Hospitality :

While in India, seize the opportunity to stay in convivial and typical properties. Treat yourself royally in opulent Maharaja's palaces built in Rajasthan or elsewhere. Try also charming havelis (mansions), which show the history of Rajasthan's noble families.

Everywhere guests are welcomed in family homestays. Their owners seek to share their urbanity and preserve their way of life, somehow threatened by standardization of global lifestyles. Former colonial properties have also been converted into sophisticated hotels, combining nostalgy for Europe and local creativeness.

During summer, Indians appreciate the freshness of hill stations, confortably lodged in cottages and chalets nestled amidst breathtaking mountains. Some of these stations have long been prized by the British, who tried to recreate the atmosphere of English villages... for instance in Darjeeling or Ootacamund (Ooty), famous for their tea estates and 100 year old steam trains.

Travel peacefully, take the time to meet people informally. Spend few days in a farm off the beaten path; or board a Houseboat in Kerala or Kashmir. These regions saturated with water offer a serene setting to relax.

Some regions are also renowned for their ayurvedic spas, where traditional Ayruveda (Knowledge of Life) is perpetuated. This holistic approach to medicine is rooted in the philosophy of the Vedas.
