Upon arrival into the wonder that is India, one begins to sense a pulsating rhythm that seemingly orchestrates this multi-tiered democracy of over one billion inhabitants. Clearly, it is impossible to look in a single direction and capture all of the colors, sights or sounds emanating from such a diversified populace. Although the government as the Mother tongue recognizes Hindi, with 30 different languages spoken across the country, English is recognized as India’s second language and most Indians that a traveler will meet speak very proper English.
With former palaces reserved for accommodations, exotic varieties of eastern and western cuisine available for ones dining pleasure and welcomes normally afforded to royalty, a journey to India offers remarkable rewards to the willing traveler. Every passing hour is unlike the last and differs from the one to follow. The country simply offers the grandest of touring pleasures, with monuments, temples, shrines, customs, sights, cuisine and service that go unmatched elsewhere.
Each of its cities and regions offer dramatically different venues, with their own wealth of historical and cultural treasures. The Taj Mahal, Fatephur Sikri, Delhi Fort, the river Ganges, the Pink City of Jaipur, the magnificence of the Umaid Palace Hotel in Jodphur and the fascinating Jain Temple in Jaisalmer speak to just a few of the remarkable treasures to be found when traveling the country.
India never fails to provide the willing traveler with a genuine wealth of touring opportunities. If you have not already claimed the mark of a Traveler, surely it is time.
