Truly a compelling destination that encompasses an incomparable mixture. This country is sure to cast a lifelong spell. Its variety lies in more than just the landscape; from the Himalayas and the sacred Ganges, to the sands of the Thar and the greenery of Kerala. In contrast to the land of Buddha’s age-old temple rituals, festivals and mosques, is the modernity of 21st century India. Although the tranquility of its palaces, temples and monuments differs greatly from the eclectic mix of ethnic groups and the vibrancy of the land itself, it contributes to the true enigma of this destination.
