The Great Indian Holidays

India-home to ancient philosophies, a rich tapestry of history, a dynamic performing arts scene, phenomenal food, and a spectacular mix of iandscapes-fires the imaginationation and stirs the soul like no other place on earth.
This extraordinary country country, with its billion-plus population and bubbling melting pot of multi-faith customs and festivals, presents travelers with an enigmatic array of unique experiences that will remain etched in their minds long after departing India's shores.
The subcontinent's remarkable diversity is what makes it such a rewarding destination to visit. Whether visitors want to inhale pine-scented air on a scenic forest trek, seek spiritual sustenance through meditation and yoga, or search for wildlife while riding atop an elephant, India delivers.
Several lifetimes would be required to explore all of the country's cultural and historical legacies. Architectural reminders of India's eclectic heritage are breathtaking and sometimes bewildering, ranging from crumbling cave temples and colonial relics to dazzling palaces and serene mausoleums. At the same time, contemporary urban india is an utterly head-spinning jigsaw of old and new, where charming, dusty bazaars line twisting alleyways minutes from sophisticated shopping enclaves sporting chic boutiques and trendy cafes.
