All About India
From the snow-capped Himalayas in the North to the sun drenched coastal villages of the South, India unfolds like an ancient tapestry. At times threadbare and fading, the land stretches from desert dunes and scattered slums to the rich embroidery of ancient, jewelled palaces, and the majestic domes of forgotten empires.
India is a feast for the senses; where the air is heavy with the scent of jasmine and dancers trail frenetic melodies in colourful silk saris. Its cooks compose dishes from a palette of exotic spices that may leave a lingering taste of saffron or aniseed.
In India’s cities, the stench of slum living competes with the cacophony of seemingly endless traffic and a myriad of other textures, colours and movements all jostling for your attention.
Indian Climate and Weather
India extends from the soaring Himalayas to the Indian Ocean coast, encompassing half a dozen climatic regions. Generally, though, the country has a tropical climate, dominated by monsoons, heat and humidity. Tropical hurricanes and cyclones are also part of the general weather outlook in the middle and end of the year, especially on the coast.
The best time to travel to the south of India is between January and September, but the north-eastern regions are most pleasant weather-wise between March and August. The mountains are best during the summer, between May and September.
India Basics
Time: GMT +5.5.
Electricity: 240 volts, 50Hz. A variety of power outlets are used in India, but most plugs have two or three round pins.
Money: The currency of India is the Rupee (INR), which is divided into 100 paisa. Major currencies can be changed at banks, and authorised bureaux de change. It is impossible to obtain rupees outside India, but no matter what time you arrive in India there will be an exchange office open at the airport. It is illegal to exchange money through the black market and it is advisable to refuse torn notes, as no one will accept them apart from the National Bank.
