India

The mountain tip to its steamy south, India has enough sights and experiences to fill several of my lifetimes. India has an extremely vibrant history and frantic cities. Icons like the Taj Mahal, deep-breath beaches and a vivid layering of cultures are just the start.

India is one of the most intricate and rewarding dramas unfolding on earth, and I've developed an abiding passion for it, and the countries diversity. Nothing is ever quite predictable; the only thing to expect is the unexpected, which comes in many forms and will always want to sit next to you.

The only thing that I found wrong with visiting India is the monsoon season (May to October is the optimum period). Around October the monsoon ends for most of the country. It's too late to visit Ladakh During October and November it's generally not too hot and not too cool (although October can still be hot and/or humid in some regions). In the thick of winter (around mid-December to mid-January), Delhi and other northern cities can become freezing cold, especially at night (like Utah in the winter).
