5 Reasons NOT To Visit India
There are so many reasons NOT to visit India. Why would you want to visit a place with so much history, culture, food, and architectural wonders? The beaches of Goa and the backwaters of Kerala, and the wondrous jungle temple of Khajuraho – who wants to travel across the world to see the that? And forget about the dusty Taj Mahal. Is it really worth it? Here are some reasons NOT to travel to India with PKT.
The Taj Mahal is Old Fashioned
It’s a wonder why millions of people a year come
to Agra to visit this old mausoleum, built as a symbol of eternal love by Shah
Jahan for his beloved Mamtaz Mahal.
70,000 tourists from around the world come here… PER DAY. Agra is the launching point and it holds a
significant place in Indian history as the capital of the Mughal Empire. It took 20 years and 20,000 workers laboring
by hand. It’s a wonder of the world and it leaves all people, young and old, in
awe. Why would you want to visit a place
that sounds like that?
Kerala’s TOO Green and Serene
The local culture of houseboats in the green
backwaters of Kerala are as pure and serene as you can imagine. Who wants to float along the water, with a
personal chef, air conditioning on board your boat, an ice cold beverage in
your hand, and your friends and family right there with you? It’s also the home and birthplace of Ayurveda
so if you’re looking for a place to rejuvenate and detox, don’t come here.
Rajasthan Has TOO Many Palaces
Udaipur, Jaipur, Ranakpur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur…
how many “purs” does one state need? And
they are all so different from each other.
In fact, Udaipur is known as the Venice of the East, with many places
where there are no cars! Imagine that…
traveling a magical place surrounded by luxurious palaces (which you can stay
in), a camel safari, a sunset on the desert, that’s just too much to see for
one state. Why would anyone want to go
see all of that? Especially when the
weather is perfect from October all the way to early April?
Sikkim Is Overly Environment Conscious
A model of environmental consciousness for
developing India, Sikkim is the first fully organic state in India. The “Land of Flower” is famous country-wide
for it’s status and is providing a model for other states and countries to
follow. They’ve only managed to convert
75,000 hectares of land into certified organic farms. Ecotourism, sustainable development, and
organic farming? What on earth would
anyone want to visit this landlocked Himalayan state for is beyond us here at
PKT.
The Great Rann of Kutch is Too White
Imagine walking on a sheer white plateau, a full
moon above, and starry skies – that’s the Great Rann of Kutch and it’s amazing
festival of Rann Utsav. It’s a different
world and one of Gujarat’s most famous festivals and while normally the weather
conditions are extreme, the winters in Rann are the stuff of dreams. Cool breezes, quiet nights, and warm days
make the Great Rann and Rann Utsav a uniquely Indian destination. It doesn’t sound at all appealing,
right? We didn’t think so either.
