India Travel Blogs: Secret Destinations & Insider Tips : Trail-Stained

India Travel Blogs

If you’re looking for India travel blogs, inspiration, and informational guides, you’re in the right place. We’re Indians who have lived in India for 28 years and travelled around the country extensively for at least five years.

And we can tell you with certainty, that India is NOT just the Golden Triangle or the Himalayas. In fact, we’ll go out on a limb and say that Maharashtra (which doesn’t feature at the top of most India bucket lists) offers the highest diversity of attractions. And our personal favourite is Madhya Pradesh.

The Land of Diversity

India has long been equated with tigers and elephants, but it is so much more than that. It is a land of stunning diversity, chaos, colours and spirituality.

Living in India can be difficult, because the country is still straddling that difficult ground between old and new. But when it comes to travel, we can safely say that India is pure magic.

Quick facts:

India is the 7^th largest country in the world with an area of 3.2 million km².

India has a Hindu majority of 80% but its citizens practice at least 5 other religions.

With 1.3 billion people, India has the second highest population in the world.

India has the 6^th highest GDP in the world but a very low per capita income.

There are 29 states and 7 union territories in India.

Yes, that’s a lot of area to cover! But obviously, you won’t be covering all of it. Given the vastness of India, it doesn’t make sense to try and see the entire country at once. Focus your travels on one of these parts of India: north, south, east, west, central, north-east or the islands.
