G.S.Sherma travel's
The air of romance, mysticism and spices that comes to mind when one thinks of
India makes it one of the most sought after tourism destinations in the
world. And the very next thought is of the Taj Mahal, justifiably one of
the seven wonders of the modern world. Marvel at the lavishness and beauty of
this tribute of love by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife. The river
Ganges offers an insight into the spiritual connection of this holy river into
the everyday life of a Hindu..right from birth to cremation! Sit by the river
at dusk watching the boats go by as your Indian tour guide regales you with
stories from Hindu mythology that take you back in time! Architecturally, India
is brimming with a multitude of temples, churches, mosques and palaces that
delightfully vary in design as you move geographically (from south to north
India) or through timelines over centuries (from one dynasty to another to the
British period when India got her freedom in 1947 to become a democracy). The
same can be said of the cuisines as well as art forms, be it dance, music,
painting; get ready to be overwhelmed by the heightened sense of smell, tastes,
sounds and visual diversity of it all. Relax in your India sojourn by a beach
in Goa or take that peaceful boat cruise over the backwaters of Kerala. Couple
it with a traditional ayurvedic massage or a yoga session for a day of perfect
bliss! To get a glimpse of the more modern cosmopolitan India, there is young
Bangalore, the software capital energised by young professionals. Fast paced
Mumbai, the capital city Delhi and old world Calcutta will also be highlighted
as must visit places by your tour guide!
