India - A Cacophony of ColorsIt's hard to find a country with as much variation, contrast and contradictions as India. Be prepared for a mind-blowing experience in this truly amazing and crazy country. India knows no subtlety, everything is a full-on blast in your face... an explosion of colors, smells and tastes which will jolt your senses! And you'll want some more!

A wealth of culture, art and history, stunning scenery and wildlife, adventure, spirituality, hot cuisine and a multitude of traditions, that India! This country really contains something for every taste.

Bounded by the majestic Himalayan ranges in the north and edged by an endless stretch of golden beaches, India is a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes, magnificent historical sites and royal cities, misty mountain retreats, colourful people, rich cultures, cuisines and festivities.

The timeless mystery and beauty of India has been waiting for you for 5000 years, always warm and inviting, a place of infinite variety - one that favors you with different facets of its mystique every time you visit India.

Jaipur, India's Pink City

Jaipur City PalaceThe Royal City of Jaipur basks in the luster of a rich heritage.

For a country with as long and glorious a history as India, Jaipur (the Pink City) is a relatively young city, founded in 1727. Despite its relative youth, Jaipur, is one of the single most beautiful and most visited cities in all of India. It is famous for its vibrant culture, gorgeous palaces, hilltop forts, beautiful lakes and friendly people.

Jaipur is an exemplar of fine urban planning, and even to this day is considered one of the most well-planned cities in the world.

Taj Mahal, A Poem in White Marble

Taj Mahal AgraThe Taj Mahal, a poem in white marble, took 20,000 skilled artisans 22 years to build. Emperor Shah Jahan had the Taj built as a tomb for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Built entirely of white marble, the Taj Mahal is a stunning architectural beauty beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset, when it takes on a golden hue. Perhaps more magnificent is the Taj Mahal in light of the full moon, when it seems to glow.

A popular belief is that an identical mausoleum complex was originally supposed to be built on the other side of the river, in black marble instead of white, for Shah Jahan himself.
