Stretching from the frozen barrier of the Himalayas to the tropical greenery of Kerala, and from the sacred Ganges to the sands of the Thar Desert, the country’s boundaries encompass incomparable variety.
Walk the streets of any Indian city and you’ll rub shoulders with representatives of several of the World’s great faiths, you’ll also encounter the structures of temples dating to ancient times however their origin still not known, onion-domed mosques erected centuries before the Taj Mahal was ever dreamt of, and quirky echoes of the British Raj on virtually every corner.
India remains an utterly compelling destination. Intricate and worn, its distinctive patina – the stream of life in its crowded bazaars, the ubiquitous filmi music, this was the land where the Buddha lived and taught, whose religious festivals are as old as the rivers that sustains them…… India will shift the way you see the world!
