is one of the few countries in the
world today in which the social and religious structures which define the nationals
identity remain intact, and have continued to do so for at least 4000 years despite

To describe it as a land of contrasts is to state the obvious. There are many countries which would qualify for such a description in terms of the different ethnic groups, languages, religion, geography and traditions which make up the whole, but few can match the vast scale and diversity to be found in India. India captures the imagination. It promises travel on a grand scale : colorful, exciting, at times exasperating, but never dull. From the deserts of Rajasthan to the Himalaya, from sadhus to maharajas, from holy cows to Bengal tigers -- Indias extraordinary diversity fascinates first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike. There is possibly no other country where religion is so inextricably intertwined with every aspect of life.

Yet its worth remembering that for nearly 50 years, India has remained the worlds largest democracy. So, Come to us and we will take
you to a different world "INDIA" For information on :
