India is a mystical land and has
a lot to offer for those who come here to explore her grandeur. The country has
so many states and each of them have a different story to tell. It is
extraordinary to see how different people, with different cultures and
languages can live together as one. That was the vision of the people who built
this country and that have come true.
Four of the world’s religions
originated in India, namely, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Therefore,
you can well expect to see varied cultures and traditions, languages, people,
different cuisines, all in the all, the nation is a culture curry.
If you are on a short trip to
India then you will be disappointed as there are so many places to see that you
cannot really say that you have seen it all and that you actually know the
country. India means different things for different people it depends on what
you have seen and heard and known. Therefore, the suggestion is that you take a
considerable time off to see the country in its whole.

trip to North India and covering the Golden
Triangle Tour (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) For a first time visitor, that usually
is a must visit. You can also take a trip to the south of India, and visit the

destinations accordingly. E.g. if nature interests you then backwaters of
Kerala or mountains in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarkhand could be your options.
To see royal palaces and culture, Rajasthan might be your go-to place.
