India

India is a land of mountains, mighty rivers, plains and plateaus. A vast land with such varied relief is inhabited by about 950 million people. The country consists of three main physical divisions. They are the Great Mountains of the North, the Great Plains of Northern India and the Great Plateau of Peninsular India. The southern plateau is flanked by the narrow coastal strips which are a part and parcel of the peninsular land mass.

The mountains extending between the Pamir Plateau and the Indus river in Kashmir are known as the Karakoram Mountains. Those between the Indus and the Brahmaputra are known as the Himalaya, meaning the 'abode of snow'. The eastern section of these mountains in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim is known as the Eastern Himalaya. The Indian sub-continent can be seen as a rough triangle, with the top formed by the mighty Himalayan mountain chain, middle by plains & small hills & bottom is full of seas with lot of rivers following all over India.

The Karakoram Mountains in the northern part of Kashmir are the north-western extension of the Himalaya. Here you will find the intriguing Tibet influenced region of Leh and Ladakh and the amazingly beautiful mountainous areas of Himachal Pradesh, Garhwal, Darjeeling and Sikkim. The other ranges of the Kashmir Himalaya are the Ladakh, the Zanskar and the Pirpanjal. Some of the other important peaks are Nanga Parbat, Nanda Devi, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Makalu, Manaslu and Kanchenjunga.

To the south of the Great Mountains of the north lie the plains of Northern India, crossing east from the colorful and comparatively affluent Punjab in the North West, past the capital city of Delhi, and important tourist attractions like Agra (with the Taj Mahal), Khajuraho, Varanasi, and the holy Ganges, to the Northern end of the Bay of Bengal, where you will find the teeming city of Kolkata (Calcutta). The Great Plains consists of two river basins, the Indus and the Ganga-Brahmaputra. The Indus, the Ganga and the Brahamaputra are the three most important rivers of the Indian sub-continent. The Indus river  and its tributaries-the Jhelum, Chenab, Beas, Ravi and Sutlej and The river Ganga,  joined by the great Brahmaputra, together they form the world's largest delta before they reaches into the Bay of Bengal.

The northern part of this Great Plateau is bounded by the Aravalli range in the west and the Vindhya to its south. To the north-west lies the Desert of Rajasthan. The western edge are called the Western Ghats. These are formed by the Sahyadri, the Nilgiri, The Annamalai and the Cardmom Hills. The Eastern edge of the plateau is known as Eastern Ghats. Both Western and Eastern Ghats converge at the Nilgiris.

Culture of India where every state has its own language, its own unique cuisine that is distinctly different from that of the other states, art and craft, special fairs and festivals, teeming bazaars and customs that are peculiar to them. All in all, travel in India is a spectrum of experiences and activities. The cities here mirror the rise and fall of the Hindu and Muslim kingdoms, and the modern metropolis of the port of Mumbai that was built by the British. South of India is the Hindu tradition and was least influenced by the Mughal culture. Hinduism was least altered by outside influences here and is at its most exuberant with innumerable temples dotting the landscape.

From having a holiday lying under the sun on the golden beaches of Goa to golden romantic desert safari of Rajasthan or  trekking on Himalayan hill to the verdant wild forests, or visiting the splendid royal forts and palaces, you’ll never ever know what the Indian experience is all about.

India is a worth experience tourist destination that is sure to leave an indelible impression on your thoughts
