India as a Land of Infinite Variety
"So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked. India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition."
Mark Twain, the writer of this quotation, was obviously impressed by the subcontinent. Travel agents say it's nearly impossible not to be impressed, astonished and amazed by India—all within the first hour off the plane—for this nation is blessed with sacred sites and ancient ruins, each with a mesmerizing story to tell, creating a treasure-filled world of travel opportunities.
Towering Mountains, Vast Deserts and Lush Rainforests |
Nestled between Pakistan, China and Nepal, India is bordered in the north by the world's highest mountain chain, while further south, tropical rain forests mingle with windswept deserts. To complete the geographic smorgasbord, palm-fringed beaches trim the peninsula like ribbon on a huge Christmas gift. The only thing missing is a glacier, but no one seems to mind.
Visitors and locals alike do not complain about India's astonishing cultural diversity either, for the nation boasts an inspired, imaginative burst of religions and cultures, races and tongues, resulting from 5,000 years of history. India's long, historical significance and great natural wealth have lured a long succession of foreign influences, traders and craftsmen, each having left their distinctive imprint on the country.
Whether you come to rejuvenate spiritually, relax on the countless beaches or live like a queen in the land of princes, India's amazing diversity offers everything you could ever want in a holiday. With so much to choose from, it's wise to enlist the aid of a trusted travel agent. Paragons of advice, travel agents suggest that, because of India's size and diversity,

    However, it was an environment with not so attractive sights as well. There were poverty and disease everywhere, men and women, emaciated due to lack of food and proper medical attention. Almost everywhere I turned there was someone, young or old, man or women, so withered from hunger and diseases that each bone on their body could be seen, so poor that they barely had enough rags to cover their body. This is the real side of India, one of disease and malnutrition poverty. A country, in which outmoded diseases like malaria, and tuberculosis are not only in existence, but run out of control.…
