Why Travel India

• As you probably know India has a very rich
  History. Most of its tourist hot spots have
  Historical links and this means many people visit
  to find out more about these places.
• Such a rich history is inter-tangled with
  its beautiful palaces, temples and monuments.
• The most frequently visited part of India is
  the Golden Triangle. The great cities of Mumbai
  and Delhi have a bustling, colourful charm, while
  the holy city of Varanasi or the awe-inspiring
  temples of Tamil Nadu are where you find many on
  their journey of pilgrimage.
• For those who prefer more exotic pleasures
  tackling the palm-fringed beaches of Goa. And for
  solitude, India ripples with mountains and hills,
  from the towering beauty of the Himalayas to pine
  forests, lakes and babbling streams.One of the
  fascinations of India is the of old and new
  centuries of history rubbing shoulders with the
  computer age as Bangalore's has its Silicon
  Valley' and yet you can find the old as its
  has the remotest village.

India What Else?
India is a incredible land of dramatically
different cultures all under one flag. For
example like Rajasthan some might describe as
positively barmy. The reason being within this
state you have the golden sand of a desert, to
sounds and smell that make totally to any other
place in India. Even the way people dress
attracts sightseers Rajasthan. India tourists
sights are endless, from the Cities Like Delhi,
Mumbai Kolkata, through the holy cities like
Varanasi and Banaras. If you choose to travel
India, it is a place that has huge differences
from the north to the south and even from East to
west. It is not common to find as you walk on
the streets to find the wandering cows on busy
highways and Bollywood posters. All part of the
hustle and bustle of India.
