Short Trip in India, land of all seasons

India is such a different country that you cannot discover whole of it in a life but in a short trip to India of just 10 to 15 days you can experience it.

You discover you have moved not only geographical boundaries, but time as well. It's like going back in the past while remaining very much in the present. The landmarks of history are nowhere more impressive. In the once-hidden caves of Ajanta glow 2000- year old frescoes of rare artistic brilliance. The pre-historic cave painting o Madhya Pradesh harks back to more dim and distant times. Ellora's superbly carved temples grow out of the living rock. Ancient stupas recall message of Buddha. Proud palaces ashimmer with white marble, glazed tiles and mirror mosaics, like the admirable Taj Mahal at Agra, that flaunt their beauty under a bright sun.

People make a country and not just places. And India's people, you'll find, give her a special distinction. In their looks and costumes, customs, rituals, life-style and philosophy you'll discover a continental variety. Not surprised in a country so vast and so varied. What is extraordinary is the thread of similarity that binds them into one great cultural whole.

Starting with Delhi, gateway in north, the heartland of the country a battleground where many empires were lost and won. The lofty peaks of the high Himalayas, the abode of the gods, are reflected in the soaring temple towers of the lush and tropical south. You can soak in the sun on a secluded beach in the morning, and spend the afternoon exploring the baroque churches of Goa or Kovalam. Discover the princely, fortress towns of Jaisalmer and Jodhpur in Rajasthan.

The streams of pilgrims from every part of the country journey to the far-flung corners of this vast land to worship at its four most sacred shrines: Badrinath in the Himalayas; Rameswaram in the deep south, Dwarka in the west; and Puri in the east. So you might eat a pure vegetarian meal off fresh, green banana leaves in the south, or savour the delights of rich, meat based mughlai cuisine in the north. So wherever you go, you'll never be far from traditional Indian hospitality- a tradition that welcomes each visitor as a guest.
