Scenic Journeys
From the mangroves of the Sunderbans to the Thar Desert, sizzling cities like Mumbai and Delhi to the
scintillating villages of Khajuraho and Hampi, from the heights of the Himalayas to the deep blue waters
around the Andamans. India is where people live with variety and thrive on diversity.
With its long and rich history, India retains many outstanding archaeological landmarks like the Buddhist
remains at Sarnath, Sanchi, and Bodh Gaya; the cave temples at Ajanta, Ellora, and Elephanta and the
temple sites at Madurai, Thanjavur, Mt. Abu, Bhubaneswar, Konarak, and Mahabalipuram.
At its southern tip is Kanyakumari and in the north, is the Himalayan mountain wall, where rise the three
great rivers of the Indian subcontinent: the Indus, the Ganges, and the Brahmaputra.
The Gangetic alluvial plain, which has much of India's arable land, lies between the Himalayas and the
dissected plateau occupying most of peninsular India. The Aravalli range, a ragged hill belt, extends from the
borders of Gujarat in the southwest to the fringes of Delhi in the north.
The Narmada River, south of the Vindhya hills, marks the beginning of the Deccan. The triangular plateau,
scarped by the mountains of the Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats, is drained by the Godavari, Krishna, and
Kaveri rivers; they break through the Eastern Ghats and, flowing east into the Bay of Bengal, form broad
deltas on the wide Coromandel Coast. The much narrower western coast of peninsular India, comprising
chiefly the Malabar Coast and the fertile Gujarat plain, bends around the Gulf of Khambat in the north to the
Kathiawar and Kachchh peninsulas. The coastal plains of peninsular India have a tropical, humid climate.
India is the land to travel to, a heaven of tourism delights, a civilization to tour through. This is a tour package
with overwhelming warmth of its people, ease of conversation, and to be stunned into speechlessness by the
beauty of nature.
