For an amazing experience and unforgettable holiday, nothing can beat a trip to India in Southern Asia. There are attractions here to suit every conceivable type of traveller. Whether you are a hard-nosed explorer, or just a casual beach babe, you will find enough attractions and surprises in India to keep you busy for days.
If you are looking for something new and varied, a very popular tourist attraction is a trip to the Indian hills. These can be reached by the vintage trains which call in at many hill stations along the way. In the northern reaches, the verdant Kashmir, Shimla, Srinigar and Manali are places to see. The east has, for example, Kalimpong, Darjeeling and Haflong. The western parts boast the excellent facilities of Mahabaleshwar, Matheran, Lonavala and Khandala. While the southern parts of India have the inviting attractions of Munnar, Ponmudi and Wayanad.
There are an astonishing number of national parks, wildlife reserves and sanctuaries if you are keener to visit the homes of some of the world’s most popular endangered species. There are tiger reserves, such as Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, and wildlife parks such as Nagarhole & Bandipur Wildlife Park.
For a trip back down the millennia into ancient history, nothing can compare to Konark. This has exotic carved temples and museums galore, as well as beaches, shops and restaurants. For more recent history, how about visiting Porbandar where Gandhi was born?
India means color, spectacle and vibrancy. Your eyes are assaulted as soon as you arrive with new experiences, your nose with new smells, and your ears are working hard for the whole duration of your stay. To completely immerse yourself in this richly inviting atmosphere, a trip to Rajasthan must be on your list. There are unparalleled palaces, monuments and museums to be found here which speak of the rich cultural past. Literally, ‘land of the kings,’ Rajasthan will captivate your breath until at last, when you have taken it all in, you can breathe one long sigh.
What if you just fancy a relaxing holiday without trekking around museums? Well, India is still right up your street. For thrill-seekers, why not raft along the Ganges? Or go for a leisurely cruise along the rivers in Kerala? This huge, inviting country certainly has something for everyone. With the right tour package, you can plan a holiday full of exciting sights and sounds which will keep you busy, or one where you can relax and unwind on a beach. There is something for everyone here.
