Most of us are really proud of our Indian identity. We belong to a land that has a rich heritage and a diverse culture.
But, how many of us know our country really well? The fact is, we’re so comfortable living in our little space, eating the same food and meeting the same bunch of people all our life that we miss out on what our country India has to offer.
From people who lead multinational companies to farmers in the villages, from Kashmiri tea to ninety-nine varieties of dosa, from tribal lands to the fast moving urban cities, India is a land worth exploring.
Here are seven things that you can do to explore India.
1. Travel to the high mountains.
Whether you’re from India or not, you simply cannot miss travelling to the high mountains in the country. The Himalayas in the north and the Western Ghats in the west are a couple of places that you can visit. They will give you a glimpse of how beautiful and magnificent this country is.

There are many unique professions in India. This gives you a chance to talk to people from different backgrounds. For instance, indulging in a conversation with a chai wala on the street, a bus conductor or even the traveler you meet in the railway station opens your mind to discover more about this country.
3. Experiment with food.
Living in India gives you the opportunity to experiment a rich array of food. From dosa and idly in the south to paratha and roti in the north, every place has something unique of their own. Apart from the delightful tastes, exploring different cuisines also gives you an insight into the regions and cultures of India.

Learning a new languages is a great way to explore different cultures and ethnic groups of India. By learning new languages, your travelling experiences will also be enhanced. Apart from that, your career opportunists will also increase when you know different languages.
5. Crash a wedding.
Crashing a wedding with your friends is fun. Most of us hold fond memories of crashing a wedding, pretending to be friends of the bride, and enjoying the food. However, if you haven’t done this yet, it’s time to find your bunch of crazy friends and have some fun.
6. Read Indian epic literature.
India’s literature is as rich as its culture. Reading epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana give you a glimpse of the eastern philosophy and the myths that were popular once upon a time. You will even realize that such profound works of art are being lost as Western literature takes over the country.
7. Visit the different wonders of the world.
People around the world come all the way to India to visit the wonders like Taj Mahal, the Golden Temple and more. However, some of us in India haven’t cared to visit these amazing places. Taking a few days off from your work to visit and learn more about the monuments, forts and other cultural centers of India will open your eyes to our country’s history.
