“All those who wander are not lost”
And when you are in India, it’s more than just a journey, it is enriching, experiential and transformative. India is majestic, magical and magnanimous as much as it is counter intuitive and pensive. Welcome to a subcontinent of frozen Himalayan summits, tropical greenery, array of castes and outcastes, temple rituals, onion domed mosques, color, spices and contradictions; India!
India is a country of enormous contrasts, not just economically but in culture, linguistics, genetically and topography. It is also the land of a billion people, and while its culture dates back more than 5,000 years, the country is politically very young. India got independent 65 years ago, and holds fast to democracy and is the largest democracy in the world.
When you decide to travel in India, do not expect a magical carpet to take you through the corridors of this overwhelming country, you must witness the fabric of India yourself. Be prepared to be jostled, hurried and calmed in the same breadth. Get soaked in the traditional and the trendy vibes of varied Indian cities. So if you ask, ‘what has this country got to offer me’? There’s much more than can meet your naked eyes and manifestations.
India is beyond noise, bombings, pollution and poverty, when you come down to this country, you discover dramatic variations to what media represents. While Rajasthan depicts glories of the past heritage and rewarding cultural experiences, intrepid beaches of Goa, Andaman, Orissa and Kerala are breathtaking, prehistoric landscapes in Karnataka leave you bewildered, highest passes of Leh and delectable cuisines spanning across the country will provoke you to quickly develop affinity for India.
By the time you are done contemplating the glaring disparities, a timeless ascetic wonderland, its jarring juxtapositions, intricate paradoxes and the dust and dung fumes, crowded bazaars, filmi spell and cooking spices marinate you with awe. Today the land where the Buddha lived and taught, and whose religious festivals are as old as the rivers that sustain them, is the second largest producer of computer software in the world, with its own satellites and nuclear weapons and is home to some of the most pedigreed intellectuals of the world.
Some of the wonders of India that you cannot miss out on are The Golden Temple in Amritsar, the most sacred of all Sikh temples, The Tawang Monastery, one of the bespoke wonders of India at an elevation of 10,000 ft in Arunachal Pradesh, The Jaisalmer Fort in Rajasthan, The Red Fort in Delhi and The Sun Temple in Orissa.
Get the perfectly calibrated itinerary, and an impeccable and imperative journey of a lifetime to India awaits you!
