India lies between Pakistan, Nepal and China. The north of
India has the world’s highest mountain range, and down
south is full of tropical rain forests, plateaus, desserts
and beautiful beaches along the Indian Ocean. If you are
looking for historical interest like temples, battle
forts, ancient ruins and abandoned cities, India will give
them to you in abundance. India is a land which is
experiencing a huge growth in travel and tourism. |

But it is not just the breathtaking views and the enriched
history which the country can offer to its visitors. India is
further enhanced by its colourful people, the diverse cultures
and festivities, steeped traditions juxtaposed with a booming
modernism and a beauty which enthrals you when you
set your foot off the plane. |

This timeless and mystical land has always been warm and
inviting; a place of infinite variety that presents its
enchanting choices in every aspect one faces, whether it be
food, religion, languages, dress – the list is endless. Each
village, town and city has its own identity, culture and
ambience, making it a difficult task to
describe India as a |
 |
|
whole
in a few words. When you travel to India, you will be amazed
by
India's rich culture and hospitality of the local
population constantly willing and eager to meet
new people. India is frequently described as a continent
in itself, and holds as many variations in religion,
language, customs, art and cuisine as it does in
topography. For the discerning traveller, this cultural
feast is just one of India's great strength. |

Four major world religions have emerged from this great
country, they are: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism all
of which are still practised to this day alongside
Christianity, Islam and many other faiths. |

Indian art is predominantly religious in its themes and
development therefore requiring some background knowledge
of the country's religious and cultural beliefs for full
appreciation. The highlights include Indian classical
dance, Hindu temple architecture and sculpture, military
and urban architecture of the Mughals, miniature painting,
and |
 |
|
Indian classical music. Of course, India's creativity
continues to flourish, mainly through the most lively
contemporary expression being “filmy culture” or otherwise
known as “Bollywood”, an art form exported all over the
globe . |
