Traveling not only gives you chance to visit new places but also gives you the opportunity to explore different cultures and traditions. And India is the best place where you can learn about various traditions because of its diversity.

Recently, a travel journalist from UK Alex Outhwaite paid a visit to India and her social media accounts prove that she had a wonderful time there.
