THINGS TO DO IN INDIA

The number of things you can do and the experiences you can have in India are uncountable. There are thousands of things that can be done within a small state of India. While listing all the things that can be done in India may be an impossible task, we have listed the top 101 things to do in India which are a must for getting a feel of real India. Move away from the usual hill stations and the mall roads therein. There is much more to be explored in this fascinating land. Read on to get some clues about the offbeat India experience that we are referring to
.
1. Visit the Taj Mahal The Epitome of Love
.

.
When listing the must things to do in India, you can't leave Taj Mahal out. Built in 17th century, this white marble monument attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world. It is the epitome of love as the world knows it. While a visit to Taj Mahal at any time of the day is exciting, consider visiting it during night, preferably on a full moon night. The charges are a little higher for night visits, but it is worth the experience
.
2. Eat at the highway Punjabi Dhaba[/c]-[c=teal]A gastronomical delight
.

.
There is nothing like have a gastronomical delight while on the road. While you are on the highway, especially the Delhi-Chandigarh one, don't forget to have a meal in one of the many Punjabi dhabas, which usually operate 24/7. Murthal, near Sonepat, on NH1 is the hotspot for Punjabi dhabas, Gulshan Dhaba being the most famous of the lot. Don't worry about the hygiene bit though. Just indulge in lip-smacking food
.
3. Old Delhi tour and Chandni Chowk Fall in Love with the Chaos
.

.
This is where you get to feel the pulse of Delhi. As you make your way through narrow streets filled with people, you start wonder how people can live in such a chaotic place. But soon enough, you fall in love with the chaos and the liveliness of the place. While in Old Delhi and Chandni Chowk area, do not miss a visit to Paranthe Wali Gali, lip smacking Mutton Burra at Karim's, traditional Indian sweets and a visit to Jama Masjid. A rickshaw ride completes the experience. You will be left thrilled by the way rickshaw puller makes his way through the crowd
.
4. Bike trip to Ladakh An Ethereal Experience
.

.
This one is for the adventure enthusiasts. If you love biking, a bike trip to Ladakh is ultimate fun. You start from Manali and make your way through the stunning Rohtang Pass, beautiful Lahual and Spiti Valley, and cross several high mountain passes before entering Ladakh. While in Ladakh, go a bike trip to Khardung La pass, the highest motorable pass in the world. You can take this biking trip to Ladakh only between June to December, as Rohtang Pass remains closed for six months, starting from December
.
5. Rural Olympics Punjab Back to the Basics
.

.
Forget Olympics. Punjab plays host to something much more exciting, and rustic, every year. Kila Raipur, a small village in Ludhiana, comes alive between February and March each year, as it plays host to a sports festival- Punjabi style. Hundreds of people throng to this fair, some to watch while others to participate. It is pure fun to watch men fight it out in a game of mud wrestling; to watch a bullock cart race; tractor pulling and so much more. The festival sees as many as 40-50 events spread over 3 days. And it is just the locals who participate in these games. You could even spot some Punjabi teams from Canada fighting it out

6. Valley of Flowers Beautiful is an understatement
.

.
Do you believe in fairies and Wonderland? If you don't, the Valley of Flowers will make you believe in them. The National Park and a World Heritage Site is located in the state of Uttarakhand, nestled amidst the majestic treks in Himalayas. The myriad colored flowers are an ethereal experience, complemented by mist covered peaks. Nanda Devi National Park lies to the east of Valley of Flowers. The region is home to endangered species as well, such as snow leopard and Asiatic Black Bear
.
7. Corbett National Park A rendezvous with the wild side
.

.
A rendezvous with the wild side of nature is always an exciting experience. Corbett National Park can definitely give a thrilling rendezvous with the wilderness of India. It is one of the oldest national parks of the country, and certainly one of the most popular. Embark on a wildlife safari here, either in a jeep or an elephant. Wildlife safari packages range from short 3 day tours to extensive 11 day tours. You can spot several wild animals here including tigers, leopards, and so much more.
.
8. Wagah Border VisitA strange Bonhomie
.

.
Forget the changing of guard routine in London. The Wagah border ceremony is much more interesting. As the sun goes down, the retreat ceremony at this India-Pakistan border begins. Bugles are sounded from both the sides, which could easily blow the air out of your lungs if you try it; guards from both the sides stomp their feet as hard as possible, trying to get one-up over each other. It is as exciting as watching a last ball India-Pakistan match
.
9. A religious landmark, and an architectural one too Golden Temple Amritsar
.

.
While you visit the Wagah Border, don't forget to visit the Golden Temple- an architectural marvel and a religious epicenter of the country. The monument witnessed some troubled times during the Blue Star operation, but nothing has taken away the spirituality of the place. The architecture of this monument has influences of Hindu, Muslim and European cultures. A dip in the lake here is rejuvenating, while the langar served here is lip smacking
.
10. Take a walk from Dashashwamedh Ghat to Assi Ghat, Varanasi Embrace Spirituality
.

.
Talking of spirituality, you just cannot leave Varanasi out. While here, consider taking a walk from Dashashwamedh Ghat to Assi Ghat. The Dashashwamedh Ghat remains most crowded most times of the day. But that shouldn't deter your spirit. In fact, watching the religious ceremony which happens every evening at 7 is a must have experience. As you walk from Dashashwamedh to Assi, you come across several small ghats, where people are seen revering the Ganges, and some saying their final goodbyes to their departed loved ones

11. Ramlila at Ramnagar Watch it with the sadhus
.

.
Watching traditional Ramlilas is always a great experience. Seeing hardly trained actors dorn the role of revered figures in Hindu Mythology for about 20 days is entertainment of the rustic kind. Taking this experience to a whole new level is the Ramlila at Ramnagar, Varanasi. The crowds here could be anywhere between 1,000 and 10,000, which include Sadhus too in their traditional attire. It is like watching a Broadway show live, except that there are much more people watching it
.
12. Zing Zing Bar The perfect stop before a steep climb
.

.
The name of the place may mislead you. It is not much a bar, but an army camp where you can grab a few snacks and drinks while you are on a Ladakh biking trip. The so called bar lies at the base to the steep ascent of BarchalaLa Pass. It is a nice pit-stop where you can chat with the army men or just admire the beauty of surrounding you
.
13. Stay in a Shikara in Dal Lake Recreate famous Bollywood scenes
.

.
You might have stayed in the best luxury hotels in the world, but nothing can beat the experience of staying in a Shikara in Dal Lake. There are houseboats in the Dal Lake which date back to the 18th century. They have intricate wood carvings and royal interiors, with all the services you can expect from the best hotels in the world. The beauty of the Dal Lake which surrounds you is a mesmerizing experience
.
14. Yoga at Parmath Niketan, Rishikesh Simply rejuvenating
.

.
Located on the banks of River Ganges, nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas is Parmath Niketan in Rishikesh. There is something about this place which beckons you to contemplate nature and be at peace with yourself. Even if spirituality is the last thing on your mind, try an early morning yoga session here. You will love the experience
.
15. Visit to Bodh Gaya It enlightens you too
.

.
This is where Gautama Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment. Pay a visit to Mahabodhi Temple, which is regarded as one of the most important Buddhist temples. Revel at the spirituality of the place or just chat up with the local Buddhist monks which reside at the place. Either way, it is a different kind of experience you get here

16. Holi at Vrindavan Revel in the colors of joy

Holi is celebrated for a week here, amidst crowds thronging the various temples dedicated to Lord Krishna here. While you can experience the usual Holi festival with colors here, consider playing the Lath Maar holi when in Vrindavan; or one with flowers
.
17. Khajuraho Trip Where passion is not a sin
.

.
Khajuraho is the place which gave India the name The Land of Kamasutra The erotic rock carvings of the temples here are an architectural delight as well as a symbol of love and passion.

.
18. Gastronomical Tour of Lucknow Sample the delicious royal cuisine
.

.
Delhi is not the only place in India famous for its gastronomical delights. For a tryst with the royal cuisine of India, head to Lucknow and savor the various delicacies of the region.

A part of the Awadhi Cuisine, the kebabs are made of succulent minced meat, seasoned with over 160 spices. Tunde ke Kebab has a legacy of over a century
.
19. Orchha A tryst with history
.

.
If you love exploring history, a visit to the town of Orchha is a must. The town is located in the Bundelkhand district in Madhya Pradesh, on the banks of the Betwa River. There is a old fort here, and a temple to explore as well. It may not be a quintessential touristy experience, but nevertheless, a memorable one
.
20. Chadar Trek An amazing trek over a frozen River
.

.
Trekking in Ladakh is a must have experience. There are easy treks and some of the more difficult ones to be had. However, if you have the desired level of fitness, consider taking the Chadar Trek when in Ladakh. The trek can be taken in the months of January and February, and you get to trek over the frozen Zanskar River. There are beautiful valleys and some remote villages to be crossed on the way too.

26. Get down and dirty at Satpal Singh Akhada Kushti
.

.
Indian wrestling is a rustic experience. Men wrestling in the mud, executing their signature moods and the crowds cheering them, with the sun beating down- that is the best definition of rustic.

A goan experience is not just about the sun, the sand and the sea. It is also about Fenny- the local alcoholic drink of the Goans. Fenny, or Feni, is made by fermenting either cashews or coconut. It is said to have an intoxicating effect within minutes and can give you quite a high. Make sure you are with a trustworthy group of friends though while you decide to give Fenny a shot; or rather, take a shot of Fenny.
