WELCOME TO INCREDIBLE INDIA

Welcome to incredible India, where culture echoes, tradition speaks, beauty enthralls and diversity delights.

Bounded by the majestic Himalayan ranges in the north and edged by an endless stretch of golden beaches, India is a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes, magnificent historical sites and royal cities, misty mountain retreats, colorful people, rich cultures and festivities.

The timeless mystery and beauty of India has been waiting for you for 5000 years, always warm and inviting, a place of infinite variety - one that favours you with different facets of its fascination every time you visit India. India has many places of adventure to be explored. These places have their own and unique experience, thrill and excitement.

Over the years places like Mahabaleshwar have developed para-gliding, and parachute rides. It takes your breath away, watching the beauty of the hill station from a height. The valley below and the sky kissing the earth far away has its own beauty. The Buddhist monastery of Bir in Kangra, has been the venue for national and international para-gliders for past sixteen years.

If you are passionate about mountaineering then India is the place to be. It has a wide range of mountains to choose. You have the chilling Himalay, the Aravalli, the Sahyadri, the Vindya and many more exciting mountain ranges. The pulsing climbs are at Bhimashankar, Saputara and others in Maharashtra. Manali in Himachal Pradesh, the Beas Kund region and lower reaches of Hanuman Tibba, Shitidhar peaks around the source of the beas river and the Deo Tibba are quite nursery in nature.

A camel safari is a great way to see the desert - visiting the villages, seeing wildlife, riding across the open desert sands. Typical camel safaris organized around Jaisalmer take in the architectural ruins of Lodurva which was the former capital of the Bhatti Rajput desert kingdom before the founding of Jaisalmer, the oasis garden of Bada Bagh, the Amarsagar oasis ,the sand dumes of Samm and the water source of Moolsagar where village women gather with pitchers at dusk-in a five day four night circuit north and west of Jaisalmer. But it is only on the second or third day that you get to see the 'real' desert of sand dunes at Samm, considered so typical of Beau Geste desert countryside. The rest of the three days are spent crossing featureless lunar plains and empty scrubland, the monotony broken by villages of Sodha Rajputs sporting cavalier moustaches and masculine earrings, settlements of gaily turbaned Sindhi Muslim cameleers, painted huts selling fizzy soft drinks, fields being tilled by bullock carts and girls picking berries. Night halts on basis safaris are at villages on the way or temporary bivouac camp in the desert scrub where camels are hobbled and let out to browse.In the desert of Kutch, Gujarat, on the other hand, a scattering of villages pit themselves against the awesome forces of nature, resulting in Spartan lifestyles made vibrant by a profusion of jewelry and ornamental embroidery used to adorn apparel and household linen. In the extreme north is the high altitude desert of Ladakh. Local culture is visibly shaped by the faith - Buddhism -as well as by the harsh terrain. Yet another facet of Indian culture is observed in the colorful tribal lifestyles of the north eastern states of Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura and Manipur with their folk culture.
