Our gay travel guide to India is based on our personal experience — practical safety tips, top things to do, gay highlights, best foods, and more. Touchdown in Delhi, the first thing we see are men walking the streets holding hands…. This is a tradition so deep-rooted in the culture of India: men are very docile around each other, whether straight or gay.

It's not that they're attracted to each other, it's just simply one of those cultural norms that caught our eyes! India is often a monstrous feat for tourists. It's so big, so full of culture, so diverse, that it's impossible to decide where to visit if you're going for a short trip.

What called us to India in the first place? Was it the Taj Mahal, with its monumental appearance, a marble fortress set against the dazzling blue sky? Perhaps it was the jumbled landscape, with the extremes of sparse open fields lying next to a never-ending jungle, that lies adjacent to a labyrinth of a city filled with delicious smells, ancient temples, and busy markets?

Or the people: full of color, sass, lots of head wobbling, and plenty of smiles. Famous for their unwavering hospitality, Indian people welcome tourists with delhi open embrace. Everywhere we went, we were met with smiling eyes and greetings of warmth. Chatting with merchants in the street we got to hear all sorts of fascinating stories about their local lives.

The hustle and bustle, people brushing past you in tight quarters, and avoiding pickpockets were no mean feat but when matched with the gentle and beautiful hearts of the majority of Indians, it's all so worth it.

Being gay is legal in India. Marriage equality is still yet to be recognized, and whilst there are movements to get this through legal books, it's still very much early days. Luckily, when it comes to acceptance of gay people, Indians are slowly becoming more tolerant, particularly teenagers and those in their 20s.

A big win if you ask us! Although, like most places in Asia, India is overall a very conservative society where being gay is frowned upon. Men have a lot of pressure from their families to marry a woman and produce lots of children.
