Destination facts
Language
India has no national language, but some of the most used include Hindi, Bengali, Marathi and Telugu. English is commonly understood in Delhi.
What to bring back
Spices to liven up your kitchen, textiles like silk sarees or cashmere wool products, and handicrafts made by artisans like sculptures, miniatures or idols.
What to eat
A country as diverse and large as India has no shortage of delicious dishes and treats to try. Masala chai (spiced tea) is a must, rogan josh (Kashmiri lamb curry), masala dosa (flatbreads stuffed with spiced potatoes), and tandoori chicken (succulently spiced, smoky and marinated to perfection) are just some of the mouthwatering masterpieces you’ll find on your trip.
Fun fact
If you’re a vegan or vegetarian, you’ve come to the right place! India has one of the lowest meat consumptions in the world, with an estimated 40% of the population refraining from eating meat at all, compared to only 2.9% of Canadians being vegetarian.
