Overview:
India is a mystical land that
presents the traveler with a bamboozling array of unforgettable
experiences. Apart from its ancient spiritual framework, India's
vastness also challenges the imagination, being home to one
sixth of the world's population.
India has an intoxicatingly rich history, which has spawned a
number of exquisite palaces, temples and monuments. The most
frequently visited part of India is the Golden Triangle,
comprised of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Meanwhile, the
people-packed cities of Mumbai (Bombay) and Kolkata (Calcutta)
have a bustling, colorful charm, while the holy city of Varanasi
and the awe-inspiring temples of Tamil Nadu are rewarding places
of pilgrimage.
For those in search of tropical bliss, there are the
palm-fringed beaches of Goa and Kerala. And for fresh air and
serenity, India ripples with pristine mountains and hills, from
the towering beauty of the mighty Himalayas to a bevy of
beautiful pine forests, orchards and babbling streams.
