Providing Fascinating Travel Experiences
Why travel to India?
India is a destination like no other!
Some go there for the beauty of the landscapes, including the Himalayan mountains or the beautiful beaches of Goa, others to experi- ence the incredible traditions and customs of this huge country, but most travelers who visit India are looking for a real change of scenery, a cultural shock that you can only experience there. Swarming cities, festive traditions, spicy cuisine, extreme climate, poverty, scenic beauty, spirituality, fervor, modernity, religious and ethnic diversity, biodiversity ... India is all that and more.
The citadels
Many citadels were built on top of the hills, they were intended to protect the inhabitants from possible attacks. The Mehrangarh Fort located in Jodhpur as well as the Junagarh Fort are beautiful and well worth a visit. The most famous monument in the country remains the Taj Mahal, this superb funerary monument located in the heart of the city of Agra.
Gastronomy
India is famous for its different cuisines with surprising flavors and colors. This is the land of vegetarians par excellence!
The Capital
For a total change of scenery, don't miss the administrative capital, New Delhi. This city is indeed rich in cultural sites, and you can learn more about the history of the country. You will also be surprised by the local people, very welcoming and warm.
The “Sari”
India is renowned for its ancestral traditions. One of them concerns dress: women indeed wear the traditional "Sari" which is a long, colorful stole. The way it is draped often identifies the region or ethnicity of the wearer.
Traditions
The best-known tradition is still that of the “sacred cow”. Cows are revered because in Hinduism it is the cow that represents life, so it should not be killed either by sacrifice or by slaughter. They therefore live in complete freedom, which is impressive in cities since they often cause traffic jams and are untouchable: get ready to experience incredible moments when you visit this country!
