India bristles with an eclectic melange of ethnic groups; an
intoxicating cultural cocktail for the traveller. With such astonishing
diversity, you will be taken on a journey that will linger in your mind
long after you’ve left her shores.
Soul Stirring
Bamboozling. There’s simply no
other word that captures the enigma that is India. With an ability to
inspire, frustrate, thrill and confound all at once, India presents an
extraordinary spectrum of encounters for the traveller. Some of these
can be challenging, particularly for the first-time visitor: the poverty
is confronting, Indian bureaucracy can be exasperating and the crush of
humanity sometimes turns the simplest task into an energy-zapping
battle. Even veteran travellers find their sanity frayed at some point,
yet this is all part of the India experience. Love it or loathe it – and
most visitors see-saw between the two – India will jostle your entire
being. It’s a place that fi res the imagination and stirs the soul like
nowhere else on earth.
Spectacularly Diverse
With its in-your-face
diversity – from snowdusted mountains to sun-washed beaches, tranquil
temples to frenetic bazaars, lantern-lit villages to software-supremo
cities – it’s hardly surprising that this country has been dubbed the
world’s most multidimensional. For those seeking spiritual sustenance,
India has oodles of sacrosanct sites and thought-provoking philosophies,
while history buffs will stumble upon gems from the past almost
everywhere – grand vestiges of former empires serenely peer over
swarming streets and crumbling fortresses loom high above plunging
ravines. Meanwhile, aficionados of the great outdoors can paddle in the
shimmering waters
of one of many beautiful beaches, scout for big jungle cats on
blood-pumping wildlife safaris, or simply inhale pine-scented air on
meditative forest walks. And then there are the festivals. With its
vibrant mix of religious denominations, India is home to a formidable
array of celebrations – from larger-than-life extravaganzas with
caparisoned elephants and body-twisting acrobats to pint-sized harvest
fairs paying homage to a locally worshipped deity.
Too Delicious
Brace yourself – you’re about to
jump on board one of the wildest culinary trips of your life! Frying,
simmering, sizzling, kneading and flipping a deliciously diverse variety
of regional dishes, feasting your way through the subcontinent is
certainly one hell of a ride. The hungry traveller can look forward to a
bountiful smorgasbord of tasty delights, ranging from the spicy
goodness of masterfully marinated chicken drumsticks in North India to
the simple splendour of squidgy rice dumplings in the steamy south. So
what are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves, put on your chompchomp
hat and rumble your way down India’s gastronomic highway!
