OVERVIEW
INDIA COUNTRY
India, Hindustan seduced legendary Marco Polo, Kipling or George Harrison, has lost none of its fascination for every traveler.
And this despite the fact that in their fields gradually replace tractors to plow oxen and cities have Internet cafes and, for a little over five years, Coca Cola signs are displayed. Because ancient India, the sadhus and gurus, medieval temples and mosques of the Mughals, the land of yoga and the renunciation of the proud Sikhs and beggars and outcasts cobra dance in a wicker basket, still it exists as one dives into or certainly a journey of lost villages between the alleys of the most dubious and less desirable cities for tour groups
Weather
India is a vast country with its own climatic diversity of a continent. Depending on the area where we go we find from harsh winters with snow and temperatures below 0 ° C, very hot in the month of April or perpetual rains during certain periods.
In general, the climate in most parts of the country can be described as intertropical and subtropical. As a result of the southwestern and northeastern monsoon temperatures they vary significantly.
Suoreste monsoon brings rain and wind of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. From June to November rainfall is very generous and sometimes can be dangerous due to heavy rains. The wet period causes the proliferation of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
When the monsoon rain does not bring land becomes dry and unproductive. Crops fail and leads to severe famine.
The northern part, stuck to the Himalayas, recorded very cold temperatures and snow is common in the winter months. In the northern plains climate it is extremely dry and hot in summer and very cold with frequent frosts in summer.
Central India does not support such high temperatures from June to November but is hit by monsoons. There is a drastic temperature difference between day and night.
The southern part benefits from the proximity to the sea as to the mild temperatures, however, the humidity is very strong and monsoon rains are very strong. The tropical climate allows that there are variations in the thermometer throughout the year.

Since few time you can enter India on a train which has begun to operate between Lahore and Amritsar.
The ideal is to get to Istanbul (Turkey) on trains and buses and there link with coaches coming to New Delhi, or you can go each to his local air transport in each country.

In addition, the incentive to visit Petra stopping the one-way is not always true, and it is not unusual that if the company comes you better advance your tickets will oblige embark your final destination the day you do transit .
But you know that a passenger line for many airlines is little more than a beast that must be transported.
British Airways, Lufthansa, Air India, KLM flying from Spain and low season can have less than 500 € rates.
