India, a place that never holds itself in the boundaries, a place of “Vasudev Kutumbakam वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्”. Which means the “world is a family”. A place that gave birth to the oldest and ancient civilizations in the world. India had spread the message of peace and togetherness from time to time by spiritual leaders like Buddha and Shri Guru Nanak dev Ji. A place where thousands of cultures merge and exist without losing their uniqueness. A place that offers extreme diversity on every foot you travel.
1. Geography
I want to ask you, what you personally choose a tourist spot to visit before making your mind. Most probably the natural geographical features of that particular country would be of extreme importance. Right?
This is why I have added this as a promising reason for why you should visit India once in life. Because the natural terrain and features offer you almost everything. Whether it is Beaches, Forests, Mountains, Rivers, or Snowfall areas, or Rainy areas, India has them all.

Other spots like Mumbai, Kerala, and Kanyakumari are here for you to tell you all the secrets of joy. If you are a beach person then definitely these amazing places are for you.
You might have heard about The Great Himalaya’s, It’s in India. That in itself is a reason to visit India. Himalaya’s has some of the best adventurous trekking routes.
Forest reserves like Jim Corbett National Park, Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Bhavnagar Amreli Forest, Gulmarg Biosphere Reserve are without any doubt are going to give you thrill and adventure.
The snowfall of Kashmir and Himachal, the exceptional beauty of Kashmir, Dal lake, Shimla and the states of 7 Sisters in the eastern part gives you a different perspective of thinking.
2. Visit India To Experience A Finest Culture
Indian culture and its diversity have been a point of attraction to the western world. From north to south and east to west, on every step, you travel things are going to change. Whatever you might have seen and learned in one place might not help you in another location. For instance, there are more than 19500 dialects are spoken in India. So, if you learned a few words of Hindi might not going to work in the southern and western parts of India.
In Punjab people mostly belong to Sikhism and wear a turban, in the south they have Dhoti (traditional Indian clothing) with a shirt, Women mostly wear Saree.
In my opinion, the most beautiful and colorful attire in India is found in Rajasthan. Before I say anything just have a look at these pictures.
3. Heritage & Architecture
Anyone who is convincing you on why you should visit India will never forget to tell you about the heritage and Architecture, And so I am doing. India has 38 World heritage sites and thousands of other popular tourist attractions. Some of them are the
- Taj Mahal,
- Konark Sun Temple,
- Kailasa temple
- Hampi
- and Ajanta- Elora caves.
The Taj is a wonderful monumental milestone but as a said there is a lot to explore. I am personally not a big fan of the Taj Mahal because I know about the other great monuments which are far more elegant and will literally force you to scratch your scalp.
Let’s take the example of the Kailasa Temple. Now, this building was build in the 8th century by Rashtrakuta King Krishna I between the year 756 and 773 AD and still standing. This marvelous structure is the only example of rock-cut out technology, which means the entire temple was built by removing the stones from a single giant rock. Do not forget that there is not even a single joint anywhere.
4. Indian Food
Do you know that India is called as the Land of spices? India is the largest producer of almost every variety of spices. Everyone dream about the spicy and delicious food here. Foreigners once taste the food and then they do not want to go back.
Spices and strong smells makes cuisines so delicious that you will definitely get watery mouth.
Some of most famous dishes among tourists are
- Gol Gappa (Pani Puri)
- Chicken Tandoori
- Allo Paratha
- Biryani
- Gulab Jamun
- Gajrela
5. Visit India once for Festivals, Fairs & Marriages.
India is known for its festivals and fairs all around the globe. Festivals like Diwali and Dushehra are celebrated in the whole country and spread a vibe of joy that is easy to feel. Some occasions come along with their own fairs like Dushehra. In this open park turns themselves in amusement parks with lots of food carts arranged by the locals nearby. It has been a tradition here for people to visit these fairs.
One another reason that I would say is The Indian traditional Marriages. Well, whatever grand you organize in the western world, it can never match up with the Indian style of marriages. The specialty of marriages here is that they have rituals to perform. Rituals make our style of marriage a great entertaining and engaging event in a spiritual environment.
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST REASON FOR VISITING INDIA ONCE IN LIFE.
6. Religion
Before I say something, I want to tell you that I personally believe in Hinduism that teaches me to respect every religion. India has been comfortable with the entry of every nonnative religion in its boundaries. For instance, the very first mosque that was built in India was in 629AD in Kerala.
Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism were born and flourished in India without any struggle instead the kings and other aristocrats of that time literally publicized them. Some of them also do convert themselves.
Reason to tell you all this is not for taking credit but telling you the actual nature of the culture here. Some of the most famous religious sites that are associated with all these religions can only be found in India, So naturally, it becomes a reason to visit India.
The Yoga and Ayurveda are also a gift to the world by the Great Incredible India.
Conclusion
In the last, I will only say that it is not for generalizing that only India is best and everything else is just a waste. Every country has its own uniqueness, history, and culture. But one thing that I will say is that India has something different something Incredible that you cannot find anywhere else.
