A river named Ganges is the main river in India. The length of it  is 2510 km. One of the story you may not know till you actually been there. Ganges is the most important river to provide people's water for daily life.

One thing we can not miss out when we are talking about India is food! The tradition of India is eating food by hands.Curry is the most iconic food of India. It has many different types of curry such as Korma, Dupiaza/Dopiaza, Pasanda and so on.


Some tips of travelling in India:
  • Don't eat in a restaurant where there is no one else. This is a sign that food may not be fresh.
  • Hotels will put what appear to be unsealed bottles of Bisleri in your room. If there is no seal, do NOT drink the water. People in India tend to recycle the water bottles and fill them with tap water.
  • It is best to visit Indian plains during cooler months from November to March.
  • Bargaining is the norm in local bazaars selling products without a written price. Resist the urge to buy without comparing prices from shops selling similar stuff.
