Some of the highlights of India's fauna are its lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, elephants and rhinoceros. Climate varies greatly, from the arid deserts of Rajasthan to the cool highlands of Assam, allegedly the wettest place on earth. The heat starts to build up on the northern plains around February and by April it becomes unbearable. While the monsoons which are huge rainstorms start to begin around the month of June. They help to cool things off throughout the country.
Religion seeps into every facet of Indian life.
Despite being a secular democracy, India is one of the few countries on earth in which the social and religious structures which define the nation's identity remain intact. In terms of the number of adherents, it's the largest religion in Asia and one of the world's oldest extant faiths. The main currency of India is the rupee. One thing to note is that you are not allowed to bring Indian currency into the country, or take it with you when you leave. Be sure to sample some of the many different types of India cuisine.
