No other country comes close to being as changing, radiant and fascinating as India. It seems that every time you visit, it is like a new look into a kaleidoscope.
India is a country that seems to be build on legends, myths and great religions. India is the birthplace om Buddhism, Hinduism and several other religions. It is also a land with a long history of great kings, noble knights and great battles.
Every place in India seems to have its own story to tell, it is´nt important if you visit the snowy Himalayas, the Kerala backwaters, the Golden Dunes of Rajahstan or one of the many ancient temples. Every place seems to have a special mystic feeling around it.
India might be a difficult country to travel in, and the people will sometimes seem annoying and irritating. It seems however, that a visit to India is almost always worth the trouble. |
