Magnificent India


One of the longest and continuous civilization since 2500 BC is also one of the most fascinating country in the world and that is India!!! Its culture and people still thrives today. This is one country that is totally mesmerizing where you can see a lot of contradictions, a lot of beliefs, a lot of festivals, a lot of food and a whole lot more to explore.

India's historic trade routes and vast empires influenced and lured peoples of different tribes and countries for thousands of years. Located in the Indus Valley it has been called by the Persians as Hindustan and by the ancient Greeks as Indoi. Throughout its history the country established empires and dynasties ruled by Maharajas and Sultans. It is also home to diverse beliefs, a pantheon of gods and godesses and also it is a country where difference amongst social classes is observed.

In the days to come we will go Indian. We will explore Indian style and lifestyle and perhaps some of its old practices. I know we will never go wrong traveling India because it has so much to offer. Namaste and welcome to the land of wonders.
