India
India is not just a people.
It is the celestial music,
And inside that music
Anybody from any corner of the globe
Can find the real significance of life.
Owing to its extreme diversity, India makes an interesting tourist destination as it can offer tourists snow capped mountains, sun kissed beaches, intricately designed temples, forests bursting with flora and fauna and mouth watering cuisine that would want people to come back for more. Travellers like Megasthenes and Ibn Batuta have travelled through India and have not failed to be impressed.
Over the years, India has attracted travellers from all over the world; be it Fa Hien, who came from China in search of Buddha's serenity, to Nadir Shah, Muhammad Shah Ghauri to Babur (the first Mughal), and Vasco De Gama, to the British East India Company. Even popular American writer Mark Twain said of India "Nothing has been left undone, either by man or by nature to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his round".
India travel guide
India is one of the wildest places to travel but also one of the most rewarding. My first trip to India on my own, was the first of its kind for me and changed me thoroughly. For 6 months I travelled the length and depth of India having the most sensational experiences and meeting the most rewarding people. Whether I was lying on a beach with a beer surrounded by beautiful women or sat on the floor between the toilets on a train for 32 hours, I was in my element. I was on the adventure of a life time and I learned to take the bad and the good as one.
Cities Of India
Indian cities capture the diversity of the country in its true spirit. Mumbai's old buildings are reminiscent of Victorian age, languishes more in the larger-than-life glamor of Bollywood, while Delhi's history dates back to the Khiljis of 13th century, is more poignant in the administrative boulevards at the heart of the city. Kolkata , the city of letters, is revolutionary, struggling to shrug of its colonial hang-over. Barring the metro rail, and a few newly-built complexes in south Kolkata, the city is like the Tin-Drum character of Gunter Grass, like the one who has decided not to grow any further.
Chennai will take you along the complexities of temple architecture, dance and Carnatic music. Forget about Hindi, one of the two official languages of India, while you converse with people in Chennai. Thanks to James Bond like characters of Tamil film industry, Chennai is self-sufficient in its dreams and fantasies.
