Life in India:
It is different and seems upside-down, cliches are numerous, needless to say, this earth is blessed.  A mixture of intoxicating perfumes, tropical heat, warm, friendly people, a spirituality seemingly seeping from every pore of the body, eternal snow, solitary paths, a country peppered with contrasts that permits few mixed feelings - we like it.
Climate and temperature:
India is a varied country in its climate, fauna, flora and geography.  We pass from the north, from some of the highest summits on the planet (Nanda Devi, 7816m, in the Himalayas) to the plains of the Ganges, Indus, Brahmapoutre, to the desert in the west and of Rajasthan,  and to the beaches of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Goa ...
The temperature varies in the same way.  Noting in particular the monsoon season from June to October, in the more southern latitudes.
Visas and other obligations:
In general a visa is required.  Submit your request to the nearest consulate or embassy of India and allow 15 days for the formalities to be completed.
Health and vaccinations:
India has a different infrastructure to what you are used to and therefore precautions are necessary;  avoid drinking water in any form (including ice) unless is from a sealed bottle.  Be careful in the consumption of fresh fruits and salads, wash all fruits and raw vegetables carefully.  Dishes are often very hot and spicy which can irritate the intestinal mucus of those who are not used to hot foods.
For most destinations, diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis requires a revaccination every 10 years.  Yellow fever is not present in Asia and the Middle East and therefore no vaccination is recommended.
Vaccination for Hepatitis A is advised.
