Local Traditions

The islands of India have a blend of indigenous traditions, colonial influences, and the heritage of settlers from various parts of the country.

The islands of India have a surprising cultural and historic wealth of their own. In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, travelers can witness the rich traditions of indigenous tribes like the Great Andamanese, Onge, and Jarawa, while also experiencing colonial heritage through landmarks like the Cellular Jail in Port Blair. The Lakshadweep Islands have their own unique local communities, known for their vibrant dance forms like the Lava Dance and Kolkali.

India has always been in my heart for many years, this is the third time I've been back, even if the last one dates back many years ago. This year I entrusted myself to the agency and I wasn't wrong, they packaged the tour well, with some modifications of my own to shorten the hours in the car. Excellent driver (shish pal), guides all in Italian and very competent, hotels - especially those outside Delhi (historical residences), dinner with a family from Rajasthan (really interesting), traditional dance in Udaipur and visit to the monuments.
