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!
