India

India is a full sensory overload—chaotic, soulful, overwhelming, and, if you can get past all of that – completely addictive. It’s the birthplace of four major world religions, home to over 2,000 distinct ethnic groups, and hosts the largest democracy on the planet. You could spend a lifetime here and still only scratch the surface. From the Himalayan serenity of Ladakh to the electric chaos of Mumbai, every region feels like a different country entirely. And while you’re busy marveling at the Mughal architecture, sipping cutting chai, or dancing at a wedding you accidentally got invited to, don’t forget that India also launched a spacecraft to the Moon—because why not do everything all at once?
