Festivals

India is a vibrant land, never more so than during the many festivals that occur throughout the year. Planning your trips to India around important festival dates is a great way to experience all the local colour and energy that India has to offer. Whether you choose to visit during the festival of Holi, where Hindus celebrate the beginning of spring by throwing coloured water and powder paint at each other, or during Diwali, known as the “Festival of Light” or one of the many other festivals, you’ll experience the unforgettable sights, sounds and celebrations that only India can provide. Watch colourful kite duels from the rooftops during the annual Kite festival, witness the amazing spectacle of Nehru trophy Snake Boat race or watch a bizarre camel beauty contest during the Pushkar camel fair. With all these and many more religious festivals occurring throughout the year it’s important to plan your journey effectively.
