The timeless mystery and beauty of India has been waiting for you for
5000 years, always warm and inviting, a place of infinite variety - one that
favors you with different facets of its fascination every time you visit
India.
India will sideswipe you with its size, glamour and diversity - but if you
enjoy delving into convoluted cosmologies and thrive on sensual overload,
then it is one of the most intricate and rewarding dramas unfolding on
earth, and you'll quickly develop an abiding passion for it.
Nothing in the country is ever quite
predictable; the only thing to expect is the unexpected, which comes in many
forms and will always want to sit next to you. India is a litmus test for
many travelers - some are only too happy to leave, while others stay for a
lifetime.
The country's glorious diversity means there's
an astonishing array of sacred sites, from immaculately kept Jain temples to
weathered Buddhist stupas; there's history around every corner, with
countless monuments, battle-scarred forts, abandoned cities and ancient
ruins all having tales to tell; and there are beaches to satiate the most
avid sun worshipper. On a personal level, however, India is going to be
exactly what you make of it.

complex layering of cultures through history and based on religious beliefs,
geography, climate and availability of ingredients.

in India offer their own specialties with their very own taste, subtlety and
aroma. The exotic tastes, hues and textures of Indian food have ensured a
steady growth in popularity in the West. The combination of fresh
ingredients and quick cooking techniques are both a gastronomic delight and
fulfill today’s requirements for healthy eating.

artifacts, elephants, women in beautiful saris, spicy food sold in the
street. Or nowadays, Darjeeling in northeastern India where the best tea in
the world comes from, Bangalore - India’s silicon valley and Mumbai, lately
