Speak of India today and one of the first things people associate the country with is the industrial and technological development that has put India on the world map. Here, you will find facilities which are on a par with the best in the world. Yet, even in the face of such rapid development, the country has still protected its culture and the things that have made India a nation with one of the world’s richest histories.
The centuries old rich history of the country is manifested in its forts and palaces, museums, mausoleums, temples, Stupas and other interesting structures like the baolis or stepwells at various places like Abhaneri near Jaipur in Rajasthan, Adlaj ki Vava near Ahmedabad in Gujarat etc ; and some crazy monuments like the Hawa Mahal (Place of Winds) in Jaipur; Bara Imambara of Lucknow which is a labyrinth of narrow corridors; Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory built at 5 places in India viz. Jaipur (it is the largest one), Delhi, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi. The former two are better known and better preserved ones. The forts of Amber in Jaipur, Junagarh in Bikaner, Mehrangarh in Jodhpur, Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, Jaisalamer that also offers the experience of desert safari have made Rajasthan very popular among the tourists from all over the world. Needless to mention, the monument that tops all others not only in India but in the entire world is the Taj Mahal at Agra. If you haven’t seen Taj Mahal, you haven’t seen India. The statement may seem clichéd but nothing describes the magnificence of Taj Mahal better than this.
Many aspects of the Indian landscape and tradition have remained unchanged over the years. The sari is still the dress of choice among women and traditional food is flavoured with exotic spices. The cheap flights to India are just the crown of what will always be a trip to remember for years to come.
There are a good number of major cities and popular holiday India destinations to discover in India such as Goa and Kerala.
India is a wonder land for every age group and thus it is one of the finest tour destinations for a family tour. A family trip to India consists of stay in luxury hotels, houseboats, beach resorts etc. for the couple to unwind and break out of the monotony at work. Also for your young ones the trip offers a plethora of breathtaking adventurous explorations, fun filled excursions to amusement parks, interesting visits to historical monuments and museums. Though all parts of India are amazingly beautiful and interesting but your family trip to India is incomplete without visiting the North.
