 India beyond Imagination - The Ultimate in Fantasy Tours

   By Adiba Roshan khan

India is an ultimate tourist destination offering some of the most diverse displays of culture and tradition; rich heritage of art, culture, and architecture; and holistic healing therapies that have been tried and tested for thousands of years.

The panoramic and climatic diversity of India's landscapes is simply breathtaking and offers wonderful eco-tourism, trekking, and wildlife tourism opportunities. In the north, it is bound by the Himalayas - the highest and youngest mountain chain on Earth that is still evolving. This mountain range separates the Indian sub-continent from rest of Asia. The Deccan Plateau region in the south is roughly triangular in shape with the Arabia Sea to its west, the Bay of Bengal to its east, and the only ocean to be named after a country - the Indian Ocean - to its south.

The sheer size and thousands of years old history of the country lends incredible and distinctive charm to all the states and regions of India. The eternal snow of the frozen deserts of Leh and Ladakh reflect strong Tibetan influences and some of the most amazing monasteries situated on perilous solitary rocks. The beauteous hill resorts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttaranchal seduce tourists as cool summer retreats with shimmering mirror-like lakes; lush green forests on their slopes; foggy waterfalls; and fresh cool air carrying the fragrance of orchards, coffee and tea plantations, and abundant flowers that grow in the region.

The fertile peninsular region of the south has some of the best tropical beaches fringed with swaying palm trees and shimmering white sands; distinctive temples with intricate carvings of a plethora of Indian gods and demi-gods; flourishing dance and music forms that have made a niche on the world map; and excellent churches that are legacies of European invasions in the region - including Portuguese, Dutch, French, and British.

The Great Indian Desert - or Thar - Desert presents exotic desert tourism opportunities including heritage tours of Rajasthan; exploring imposing forts, splendid palaces, and divine temples of the region; camel and horse safaris; tiger trails; bird watching; and glimpses of rural Rajasthan with its wonderful display of unique arts and crafts, folk dances, religious fervor, colorful attires, and jubilant celebration of life during fairs and festivals.

Several pilgrimage places known for their mysticism, heightened spirituality, and beautiful locales beckon tourists to explore their legends, divinity, and origins. Varanasi, situated on the bank of River Ganges and four Holy Destinations (Chaar Dhaam) of Hindus attract millions of tourists every year. However, India offers some of the best Buddhist, Jainism, Sikhism, and Muslim pilgrimage tour packages that are revered by people of all faiths and religions. The colorful temple festivals offer the finest opportunities to witness the superlative performances of Indian art and dance forms.

Indian wedding tours are other occasions where you can catch glimpses of how close-knit Indian society is, participate in grand celebrations, and observe the distinctiveness of wedding traditions that are quite different from Western marriages.

The virgin islands of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep, along with the humid delta areas of the northeast, present unsurpassed prospects to discover the mysterious beauties of unexplored sites and natural wonders that have not been tempered with. The advanced forms of sculptures, carvings, frescoes, and paintings on display in temples, caves, monuments, mansions, and palaces throughout India speak volumes about the majesty and glory of Indian heritage.

India tours with swampy deltas, crystal glaciers, snow-clad peaks, meandering rivers, thick forests, flourishing wildlife, rolling meadows, unrivaled ski slopes and golf courses, floral valleys, magical moonscapes, several world heritage monuments, and beautiful beaches have innumerable tourism and travel options to inspire fantasies and dreams of all tourists who come here.
