Learn to Speak Hindi – Have a Better Trip to India
If you would like to experience a completely different type of travel experience, I recommend that you take an extended trip to India. There are three main areas you can plan to visit. I’ll outline them here, and then you can do further research on what interests you most. Before your trip, I suggest you learn to speak hindi, the native language of most of India. It will make your trip much more enjoyable when you can converse with native Indians.
The first place to consider visiting is Rajasthan. At one time, Rajasthan was the homeland for groups of warrior clans, collectively called Rajputs, who dominated that region of India for over a thousand years. They carved out small kingdoms during the 9th and 10th century (AD) that were often at war with each other. Rajasthan now is famous for music, dance, art, craft and adventure. It is blessed with sand dunes, serene lakes and natural surroundings.
Visitors from the far end of the world come to Rajasthan to grasp the beauty of Rajasthan and its stunning monumental beauty. Once in this state you can never think of getting disappointed, for it is always for the mood of every visitor. Visit the different tea factories in Munnar and if you are interested in shopping in Munnar you can buy the home grown tea leaves of Munnar. The region of exotic spices, Munnar is also famous for its spices. Even though I had used an online language program to learn speak hindi, I was able to understand some of the vendors in the marketplace and actually carry on a good conversation. I felt really great.
The second place to visit is Central India with its historical places and wildlife sanctuaries. I suggest you start with Gwalior, the city of palaces, temples and great monuments. Home to several dynasties, Gwalior is steeped in the splendor of the past. Among many historic sights is the famous Gwalior Fort, one of the best specimens of medieval architecture. Then stop at Datia, to see a rare seven-story hilltop palace, a unique example of 17th century Hindu architecture. Finally, there’s a little medieval city called Orchha where time seems to just stand still. The palaces and temples built by its Bundela rulers in the 16th and 17th centuries retain their pristine perfection.
Finally, the beaches of India are also the favored destination for tours and travels in India. The country is gifted with some of the finest beaches in the world which are ideal for celebrating vacations in a memorable way. Beaches, hill stations, wildlife, monuments, temples, culture, nature, cuisine, historical places, etc are making India a globally famous destination for tourism and peaceful vacation.
The hospitality of Indians is incredible even today; since they follow the old Sanskrit adage that means “Guests are like God, treat them well”. Again, do some research on these areas to learn more and be sure to take a course and learn how to speak hindi. There are some excellent courses online and a few are very affordable!
