India is
one of the oldest countries in the world, full of charming and attractive sites
and places of historical, tourist and religious importance. All of them are engulfed in myths and legends. India is the country of contrasts
from architectural and cultural perspectives.
If you want to amuse yourself with food, culture, language, clothing and
various traditions, India is the
right place for you to visit. With the population of over one
billion people, India is a
multicultural country with each of its state having its own unique
identity that determines and directs its history. India's rich history and its
cultural and geographical diversity make it an attractive tourist destination.
It presents diverse facilities for heritage
and cultural tourism along with medical, business and sports tourism.
One of the most important tourist destinations in India is
Goa where the Indian culture intertwines
with Portuguese culture. To cap it, Goa has pretty beaches, awesome seafood, vivid nightlife and amazing water
sports. And we can find beaches all along the seacoasts in India, right from
West Bengal to Tamil Nadu to Gujarat.
Kashmir is popularly known as the Paradise on Earth. It is a
major tourist attraction for those who love mountains. Located in northern
India, it is situated among the picturesque
Himalaya and Pir Panjal mountain ranges. The whole of the Kashmir valley is replete with beauty with lakes,
freshwater streams, orchards,
ice-capped mountains and lush green meadows. There
is something to watch for people of all interests. Other than Kashmir, there
are a number of hill stations spread all over India, in Himachal Pradesh, West
Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and even Rajasthan.
Kerala, God’s own country, offers a very unique travel
experience; it is famous for its natural beauty, amazing white sand beaches,
delicious sea food, Ayurvedic health resorts, enchanting art forms, magical festivals, cultural monuments and backwaters.
The mere mention of Rajasthan conjures up images and visions of the Maharajas, Rajputana, brave
and fearless Rajput warriors, breathtaking palaces and forts along with royal
hospitality and splendour. Rajasthan is known for some of the most
interesting and beautiful places in the world, be it Jaipur the capital city,
palaces of Udaipur, forts of Jodhpur and Chittorgarh, the barren but beautiful
deserts of Bikaner and so on. It is a shopper’s delight with textiles in mirror
work, embroidery and prints, semi-precious stones and handicrafts like wooden
furniture, carpets and blue pottery. Music and culture aficionados will love the highly cultivated classical music and
dance unique to Rajasthan. You can also find sites of historical importance all
over India, especially Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad and so on.
As far as places of religious importance are concerned, they
are innumerous. You will find them right from Kashmir to Kerala and from Punjab
to Tripura, and they belong to all faiths that we find in India.
And now we turn our attention to the most beautiful memento
of love, the Taj Mahal. It attracts thousands of tourists everyday. It was
built by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz
Mahal. It is a dream in marble, which shines in full glory on Full Moon.
