=Positive Cultural Experiences=

The welcoming nature of the Indian people is definitely one of the biggest positive cultural experiences that any traveler can encounter. Being immersed in such a different environment with such different people is something that everyone needs to experience in their life to fully grasp this kind of experience.

Food. Need we say more? If you are after diversity in foods available India is the place to go! With over 1.1 billion people is it really that hard to see how India comes out with such a diverse range in foods that are equally as aesthetically appealing as they are to your taste buds?

=Negative Cultural Experiences=

India is a beautiful country with beautiful people, however many of the customs are very different from what we experience in Australia. Photography is accepted but it is a necessity that you ask permission before you take a photograph of someone or a photograph of one of their belongings. This is part of the Indian culture and it is expected that everyone follow this simple custom.

Another of the negative aspects of India was that they do not believe in gender equality whatsoever. This has lead to alot of crime and unimaginable acts being performed, but as a tourist and a visitor to the country you just need to realise that this is a part of their culture and whilst there need to accept is as not to seem disrespectful.
