India is history, tradition and culture blended with a spicy cuisine that delights the palette as the beauty of the country delights the eye. The history that we mentioned dates back five millennia. This immense South Asian country offers a beautiful and varied terrain – from snow-capped Himalayan peaks to the sandy white beaches and azure waters of the Indian Ocean shoreline. It boasts the iconic Taj Mahal, the final resting place of a Mughal Empress and chief consort of Emperor Shah Jahan.  Pilgrims bathe in the Ganges in Varanasi. Rishikesh is a center for yoga and a Himalayan trekking base.
