India

India is a world in itself. This is the land of mysticism, superstition & myths, snake charmers, yogis and Maharaja's. India’s variety has richness, where light, color, noises, smells, flavors are all so vivid and intense.

Very briefly India is a triangle with the top formed by the mighty Himalayan mountain chain. Here you will find the intriguing Tibetan region of Ladakh and the astonishingly beautiful Himalayan areas of Kashmir, Himanchal Pardesh, and the Darjeeling and Sikkim regions.

South of this is the flat Ganges basin with the colorful and comparatively affluent Panjab to the north-west, the capital city New Delhi and important tourist attractions like Agra (with Taj Mahal), Khajuraho, Varanasi and the holy Ganges itself.This plain reaches the sea at the northern end of the bay of Bengal where you find teeming Culcutta, a city which seems to sum up all of India's enormous problems. South of this northern plain the Deccan plateau rises. Here you will find cities that tell of the rise and fall of the Hindu and Muslim Kingdoms.
