FESTIVALSOF INDIA

Being a multicultural country, festivals form an integral part of every Indian. Each

and every festival is celebrated uniquely in different ways according to the rituals,

beliefs and its significant history behind. We have festivals celebrating harvest

seasons, Gods and Goddesses, phases of moon etc. The reason for

celebrations may be the same but the festivities differ according to the region; a

harvest festival celebrating the arrival of spring in India is called Makar Sankranti

in the Northern part of the country, Pongal & Onam in the South and Bihu in

Assam. Holi, Diwali, Dussehra, Rath Yatra, Rakshabandhan, Onam, Guru Purab,

Christmas and Eid are some of the popular festivals celebrated in India.

Durga Puja / Navratri is the festival celebrating Goddess Durga’s homecoming.

While in Gujarat, it is celebrated with Dandiya and Garba dance, in the eastern

part of the country it is celebrated in worshipping the goddess in big pandals

while down south it is celebrated with the decoration of the “Kolu” which is a

staircase of 9 stairs and each stair is decorated with beautiful dolls, and idols of

Gods and Goddesses.

Diwali is a festival of lights, celebrated by millions of Indians across the world.

The festival celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and

light over darkness. Sikhs too celebrate Diwali as “Bandi Chhorh Divas” which is

the celebration of the sixth Nanak's return from detention.

Holi, a festival of colours is celebrated in a unique manner in Mathura and

Vrindavan and is known as “Brij ki Holi”. Here, the menfolk come to play Holi with

the girls’ hope of raising their flag over Shri Radhikaji's temple. But, instead of

colours they are greeted with sticks by the girls. Hence, Holi get its new name

here. The men come fully padded as they are aware of what awaits them and

also the fact that they are not allowed to retaliate on that day. The next day, it is

the turn of the men, who reciprocate by drenching the womenfolk in colours.

There are other interesting festivals like the Kumbh Mela, Alleppey-Boat Race,

Pushkar-Camel Fair and the Goa Carnival which adds to the diversity of the

country and attract a lot of tourists always.

Yoga has become the fitness buzzword these days the world

over. Having originated in India, some 5000 years ago, the

Sanskrit word yoga has several translations and can be

interpreted in many ways but essentially, it is defined as a

method of discipline. Most of us know Yoga as Pranayam and

few Asanas but there is a lot more to it. Even before the Beatles

came to Rishikesh on pilgrimage, India was already popular as

a travel destination, with American tourists seeking spiritual

guidance. However, in recent years, there has been a distinct

boom in wellness travel to India. Madonna, Steve Jobs, Oprah

and Julia Roberts are just a few of the many westerners who

have visited India to visit spiritual and meditation retreats. With

an increasing number of people embracing healthier lifestyles

at home and now integrating them into their travel and holiday

choices as well, South East Asia is fast growing into a sought

after wellness travel destination. Yoga and meditation spa

experiences, fitness, stress reduction and holistic living are

among the experiences sought by wellness travelers.

"Yoga has a complete message for humanity”

"It has a message for the human body”

"It has a message for the human mind”

"And it has also a message for the human soul”

the latter) such as sand, tarmac, dirt tracks, mud, grass and mountain trails.

Treks: You can trek at a number of destinations like Ladakh, Uttarakhand,

Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir. Summers are generally preferred for

the Chadar trek, which can only be done in winters.

Motor Bike Expeditions: Biking trips on the Leh-Manali highway and

through South and West India are hosted by loads of travel agencies as they

are the most sought after.

BEST PLACES

Manali to Leh is one route, which is a favourite of almost all road trip

enthusiasts, and cyclists are no exception. It involves days of excruciating,

but visually treating cycling on Leh-Manali Highway. On this tour, you cross

four high mountain passes, expansive plains, a series of hairpin bends and

various streams.

The north-eastern states of India have some of the most magnificent and

awe-inspiring landscapes in the country. Meghalaya is one such state and

attracts hordes of tourists every year. Shillong is the state capital and the

place, where the Meghalaya Cycling Tour starts and ends. While riding,

explore lush groves and get drenched in the tranquil environment of

Cherrapunjee, one of the wettest places on earth.

Rajasthan is often referred to by the prefix royal, and it is no exaggeration

because it truly is such, both naturally and culturally. Embark on a leisurely

road journey through the Thar Desert and to the palaces and forts in the

state. While experiencing an exotic stay by a reservoir in the desert, you can

try your luck with spotting the leopards living in the area.

BEST SEASON

Region and terrain are two of the most important factors that influence the

weather of India. To visit Rajasthan, winter is the appropriate time, and

places like Leh and the north-eastern states are best experienced from May

till September.

"The soul of India lies in its villages" these words by Mahatma

Gandhi hold true for various reasons. In India, villages are

symbolic of the earthy, traditional, rustic and relaxed way of life.

Predominantly inhabited by farmers, where people live off the

land and are in tune with nature and their local environment. In

comparison to the cities, village life is slow paced, calm and

peaceful, cuisine more authentic, organic, music, dance and

folklore are modes of relaxation.

Indian Legends helps you discover the unexplored and

untouched rural beauty of India and experience the tradition

and lifestyle of villagers, indulge in local delicacies, witness

local traditions and rituals and learn about the region’s folk art,

crafts, legends, music and dance. The destinations are located

in the rural parts of India and have been reviewed and

hand-picked by Indian Legends team for the value it offers in

terms of natural beauty, safety, accessibility, cultural activities

and traditional practices followed by the people there.

The concept of wildlife tourism and wilderness is growing by

leaps and bounds in India in the past few decades. Visits by

foreign tourists and celebrities fuelled the curiosity and also the

fact that domestic travellers have moved beyond holidays that

include too much on their itinerary and prefer experiential

holidays where one can relax. Tiger Reserves, National Parks

and Wildlife Sanctuaries in the country are now attracting

tourists more than ever before. The variety of wildlife one can

view ranges from Royal Bengal Tigers, One-horned

Rhinoceros, Elephants, Leopards and numerous other animals.

Ayurveda is an ancient medical science which follows a natural

healing system and has been practiced in India for over 5,000

years. Ayurveda is based on the principal of balancing the

three elemental substances, the doshas (called Vata, Pitta and

Kapha), and states that a balance of the doshas results in

health, while imbalance results in disease. Ayurvedic science of

healing involves use of natural ingredients like honey, oils,

herbs, roots, plant extracts etc.

Kerala, being the birth place of Ayurveda, is still the most

sought after destination for Ayurvedic treatments both by

Indians as well as foreign tourists. Both Kerala and the upper

regions of Northern India, with its equitable weather, natural

abundance of forests with medicinal vegetation are best suited

for Ayurvedic treatments and hence are home to several

Ayurvedic resorts.

Ayurvedic medicine is particularly effective for metabolic, stress

related, and chronic conditions and with people becoming

increasing aware of the need to “distress” and “detox’ from the

fast paced life. Given the fact that Ayurveda has been

advertised as alternative medicine in the Western world,

Ayurvedic resorts In India are quite sought after for relaxation

and rejuvenation by people world over.

The modern day tourists are no longer satisfied with the “run of the mill”

sightseeing and stay options. Paucity of time and the internet boom have

made tourists more aware and demanding. As a result, destinations are

being repackaged to add the “extra” zing to it. Customised tours and

activities are now a major attraction for tourists in many cities such as

Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Varanasi, Lucknow etc. These are no random

activities and strolls around the city but are immaculately planned

around specific themes, ranging from spices to history to books to

jewellery to street food. Activities like heritage walks, food trails, hot air

ballooning, flying fox (zip line), Segway etc. are quite popular these days

OFFTHE BEATEN

TRACK

TAWANG, ARUNACHAL PRADESH

Popularly known as the birth place of the Dalai Lama and blessed with

misty rivers, breathtaking valley and stunning waterfalls, Tawang is the

ultimate paradise for photographers and nature loving tourists alike.

Situated at a height of about 3048 mts above sea level, this hill town is

home to several monasteries as well.

ZIRO, ARUNACHAL PRADESH

Ziro valley boasts of a picture postcard like landscape with its vast expanse of

rice fields, surrounded by Arunachal's formidable mountainscape and

smattering of villages of the Apatani tribe. Pleasant cool weather all throughout

the year only adds to its charm. It is thronged by music lovers all over the

world in the month of September, when the Ziro music festival is held.

GOKARNA, KARNATAKA

Primarily a temple town, Gokarna’s beaches are quickly gaining popularity

on account of being a laid back destination with untouched beaches. To put

it in other words, it’s a less commercialized, less crowded and more serene

beach destination than the other popular ones like Goa.

SPITI, HIMACHAL PRADESH

Spiti Valley is a desert mountain valley located about 3,800 mts above

mean sea level in the Himalaya mountains. Spiti’s terrain is more

treacherous, remote and rugged than Ladakh and hence considered a

haven for adrenalin driven travelers as well as soul searching tourists.

The Spiti – Kinnaur loop makes for one of Asia's greatest road trips.

CHOPTA, UTTARAKHAND

Chopta conjures up an image of idyllic, non-commercialized, laid back hill

station where the only thing tourists can indulge in is to unwind, relax or as

they say “take a break”. For others, however, there are options for trekking,

hiking and other adventure sports. Blessed with a wide array of flora and

fauna, it also offers the perfect place for picnics.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS, UTTARAKHAND

A national park located in the Himalayas, the valley of flowers is home to a

rich diversity of both flora and fauna. Its landscape along with the natural

diversity makes it hugely popular with mountaineers, botanists, and

adventure tourists alike. Bordered by snowy mountain ranges and icy

glaciers, a vast expanse of flowery meadows interspaced with cascading

waterfalls is how the valley can be best described in words.18 19
