Diwali and Holi illuminate the streets with lights and colours. Ayodhya's Ram Navami Mela honors Lord Rama's birth, while the Taj Mahotsav showcases classical arts, music, and culinary delights. Lucknow’s vibrant Shia traditions are highlighted during Muharram, featuring elaborate processions and rituals sacred to Muslims.

Our three-week trip with our five-year-old son took us first through the tropical south in Kerala and then along the 'Golden Triangle' in the north, including detours to several national parks. This enabled us to get to know two parts of the country that were very different in terms of culture and landscape and to experience at least some of India's diversity. We will always remember the impressions of the lives of the people and nature. Despite the intense experiences, we were able to relax thanks to the accommodations (oasis of peace) that were well-selected by the travel agent. The conversations with our two drivers and the people in the host families were enriching. We hardly came across any Western families. With a little travel experience, however, even small children are no obstacle to traveling to this exciting country.
