For first-time travelers to India, Holi can be one of the most exhilarating experiences you will ever have.

It\u2019s about the energy, the chaos, the mess, the laughter, and being in the rhythm of the moment. Be prepared to get splattered with colors from head to toe. You will be dragged to the dance floor. You will laugh harder than you thought you could.

The day, your mood, and the location all conspire to create a unique memory.
