Are you an enthusiastic traveller willing to add India in your list? If 'yes', then these are the things you should know before taking a go..
1. There are 29 states in India. The Telangana State is the 29 the state formed on 2nd June, 2014. Each state has got its own state language, culture, traditions, and customs.
2. Each State has got its own food habits. In Tamilnadu if Idly and sambar is famous, in Andhra Pradesh it is "Gongoora Chutney" is the special dish. In Karnataka is BISBELA BATH and in Telangana, it is HYDERABAD BIRYANI. I will give some more details in the foregoing para.
3. In Kirala, it is White lungi and shirt that is worn by Gents and the ladies generally wear a White Saree with big wide border in golden color. Kurta Pyjama is the dress known in most of the states in India. The other dress of similar type if Pathani dress but mostly preferred in Srinagar. Lungi is the dress most commonly worn in South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Mysore etc.,But, Dhoti a six yard cloth is worn as traditional dress in Andhra Pradesh State. While Pehran is the traditional dress in Kashmir, the Puanchei is the traditional dress in Mizoram. Gagra or Sharara is traditional dress in Lucknow and Gagra Choli is mostly worn in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
when it comes to Special dishes, in Andhra Pradesh, it is Gongora Chutney, in Arunachal Pradesh, it is SMOKED PORK IN SENGMORA XAAK, in Assam, it is Mysore Tena, in Assam, it is Litti Chokha, in Chattisgarh, it is Delhrori, in Goa, it is Bebinca, in Gujarat it is Khandvi, in Haryana it is Bajra Khichadi, and in Himachal Pradesh it is Madra. which test the appetite of a Traveler.
If one moves from one state to another he will learn and hear to know the languages like, Kannada, Telugu (the same language spoken with different accent in Andhra Pradesh and the Telangana States), Gujarati, Konkani, Kashmiri, Hindi, Tamil, Oria, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Bengali, Nepali, Marathi, Tamil, Malayalam. Each state with its own language throws a challenge to the Tourist.
According to 2001 census there are 122 languages and 1599 other languages spoken in India
This is only about the languages, dress and food preferences of different states in India in brief. The actuals will make one totally alarming .
Will it not be a challenge for a Tourist to tour in India?

Why Ma'am?Nothing is impossible. I love to visit Europe. It is though my dream. The only thing I have to take care of is my health. Money ...there are many agencies that come forward generously to encourage people to take such tours. Do not be disappointed. This is life.

@RubyHawk It is not the expenses that will be costly. Getting along with so many varieites of people belonging to various cultures, traditions, and food habits is a herculean task.
