| A love for colour, an eye for detail and a heart to enjoy
are the only things required to savour the eternal aroma of
the most geographically and linguistically varied part of Incredible
India. Nestling on the lap of the mighty Himalayas and stretching
its contours to the warm sands of the Thar Desert, north India
is an anbrosial bouquet of surprises embellished with a variety
of wild and exotic flowers. Nothing in this part is ever quite
what you expect, and the only thing to expect is the unexpected,
which comes in many forms. A connoisseur of vibrant colours,
which boasts of a rich cultural heritage, is how North India
is viewed across the world. You cannot escape from its history,
but also cannot face it. For a heritage lover, the whole land
is dotted with exquisite monuments that surely takes one to
some other realm, lost in the mystery of time for ages. Lonesome
trails, torrential rapids, hard barren rocks; for a hungry adventure
seeker, the North Indian landscape turns into a formidable arena
on the lap of mighty Himalayas. With no hominal excuse, the
tiger lords it over the shifting sands of Rajasthan, which reverberates
with the rhythms of the rambling camel. Red costumes, white
palaces, blue colonies, pink city... is what makes Rajasthan
a palette of exuberant colours.
And if you are among them who listen to their heart, Uttar
Pradesh will open her gates to the memorial of love.. an incarnation
of poetry in marble at the world famous Taj Mahal. Hear the
call to arms, share the love of a Mughal emperor for his wife,
rediscover quiet tombs by a beautiful river or the panache
of a bygone era that gave us dum pukht - a cuisine the world
craves. Enjoy tranquility on the ancient ghats of Varanasi,
meditate and elevate your spirits with the floating aroma
of incense sticks. The beauty of this part of India is defined
in a way of simplicity yet opulence, where you will get everything
you need for a perfect vacation trip, without leaving any
scope for imagination. And yet, for a bon vivant of fine cuisine
and culture, ayurveda and yoga, heritage and pilgrimage, the
high-rising tourism of north India comes as a dream come true
in its finest holiday attire. You do not need any other reason
to come to Northern India, do you?
