To see the world and experience life in its fullness, it is enough to travel to India. It is not because one-sixth of humanity resides there. Its ancient civilisation that expresses itself in modern life. Its layered history is reflected in the unparalleled diversity of faiths, cultures, traditions, languages, cuisines, dresses, monuments and places of worship. And, all of this can sometimes be captured in a single photo frame, even if it takes a lifetime to comprehend it.
India offers one of the richest biodiversities in the world, from mighty Himalayan peaks and cold deserts to rainforests and emerald islands, from majestic elephants and tigers to an extraordinary range of birds and butterflies. From adventure sport to zen, India has everything on offer. And, all with the unique warmth of hospitality.
There are familiar paths:
The Buddhist circuit: where Lord Buddha was born (Lumbini), gained enlightenment (Bodhgaya), first taught (Sarnath), and attained Nirvana (Kushinagar); also Rajgir, Nalanda and Vaishali.
The familiar golden triangle of Delhi-Jaipur-Agra and the desert forts and palaces of Rajasthan.
The banks of Varanasi, the Golden Temple of Amritsar and the majestic temple towns of eastern, western and southern India.
The endless Himalayan paradise, from Ladakh and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh through Uttarakhand to Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh in the east.
