India's
amazing diversity offers you everything you could ever want
in a holiday. From the moment that you set foot in India to
be greeted by a graceful NAMASTE, a gesture that denotes both
welcome and respect,
you are on the way to one of the most rewarding experiences
of your life.
Bounded
by the majestic Himalayan ranges in the north and edged by
a spectacular coastline surrounded by three seas, India is
a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes, magnificent historical
sites and royal cities, golden beaches, misty mountain retreats,
colorful people, rich cultures and festivities.
At
any part of the year India can offer you a dazzling array
of destinations and experiences. In summer, when the subcontinent
is sizzling, there are spectacular retreats amidst the heady
beauty of the Himalayas or the lush heights of the Western
Ghats with cool trekking trails, tall peaks to conqueror stretches
of white water for the adventure seekers.
In
the cool of an Indian winter, cities come alive with cultural
feasts of music and dance. The balmy weather is an ideal time
for you to go century hopping in romantic cities studded with
medieval forts and palaces. The sun-drenched beaches are inviting
and wildlife sanctuaries with their abundance of flora and
fauna is a buzz with the nurture of the young.
You can taste the delights of the Indian monsoon anywhere
in the country on a Camel Safari in the Rajasthan desert when
nature comes alive and the Peacocks dance; along the west
coast where the relentless slanting rain paints the countryside
in brilliant greens or even trekking amidst the stark grandeur
of mountain valleys lying in the rain shadow of the Himalayas.
Experience
exotic India live like a maharaja in the rich ambiance of
royal forts and palaces that are now heritage hotels; luxuriate
in the serene beauty of a coral island with its turquoise
lagoon; participate in the exuberance of a village fair or
a colorful festival; day dream on a house boat drifting down
the palm - fringed backwaters; delight in the grace of a dancer
or shop till you drop - buying exquisite silks, carved figurines,
brass and silver ware, marble inlaid with semi-precious stones,
finely crafted jewelry, miniature paintings, carpets at unbelievable
prices.
India,
always warm and inviting, is a place of infinite variety -
one that favors you with a different facet of its fascination
every time you come on a visit
MUMBAI - THE BUSINESS HUB OF INDIA
Mumbai a cluster of seven islands derives its name from Mumbadevi,
the patron goddess of the Koli fisher folk, its oldest inhabitants.
Once
a Portuguese princess' dowry and later an adornment of neo-gothic
British architecture, Mumbai today, is more than just a metropolis.
It is infact an enigma of mud huts & sky–scrapers, age
old traditions & high fashions, the industrialists' heaven
& movie makers' Hollywood.
A
lovely natural harbor and winding creek set off the city of
Mumbai from the long, narrow coast of Western India.
Mumbai
pulsates with activity. It is a city that is disciplined by
no time frame-neither by day nor night. Mumbai is also the
country's financial powerhouse, the nation's industrial heartland,
and its economic nerve center.
Dazzling
shopping arcades, exciting sport activity, nightclubs and
discotheques, theatre and music, gourmet restaurants and interesting
sightseeing–Mumbai offers the visitor a heady mix of all this
and more.
