India, an ancient civilization, with an impressive lineage that over the centuries, has amassed a tremendous wealth of grandeur and majesty.

A land of varieties, the cradle of culture that is steeped in tradition, an ageless civilization, colourful customs revered for centuries that reflect social and geographical diversity.

The North is enclosed by the great arc of the long sweep Himalayans, with a series of ranges and beautiful valleys wedged between them. The Himalayans stretch from northwest to southeast, which provide a dramatic barrier between South Asia and China.

Nothing in India is ever quite the way one expect it to be, and the only thing to expect is that, the unexpected comes in many forms and it will always want to sit next to you. India manages to sideswipe one with its size, clamour and diversity.

A litmus test for many travellers, and some visitors are only too happy to get on an aircraft and fly away. But if one enjoy delving into convoluted cosmologies, thrive on sensual overload, and have a firm grasp of the absurd, then India is one of the most intricate and rewarding dramas unfolding on earth.
