Alfred said " India.....Why?"

Day by day, my friends list is growing and I blame it to Orkut. I have made many overseas friends, who are zealous explorers like me.

Few of them are leading a nomadic life and to my astonishment, neither they are disappointed nor enervated, in fact they love it. Their sole purpose is to DISCOVER.. discover the world. (and if you earn while exploring.. nothing like that)

Though most of them are quite apprehensive about India - " India... why?". (We cannot blame them for this as it is we who are responsible to bring forward our country on World platform.)

Hmmmmm!! When you have Australia on one hand, Europe on other; Canada and Singapore are also not far behind; amidst them why should one chose India as a travel destination.." Land of Snake Charmers".

Is Taj Mahal, the only palpable reason? Not really if we say, you have not one or two but more than 25 World Heritage Sites in India scattered in different parts of its body. This sounds tempting.............


READER CHOICE AWARD 2006
India Ranked 4 th from the Top.

According to the 2006 Readers' Travel Awards announced by the Conde Nast Traveller UK, India has been ranked as the 4th most preferred destination in the world. India has moved to the fourth slot from the 10 th in just three years.

India is not all about Tigers. Yes it has Corbett, Yes it has Sunderbans too but it also have Kutch Sanctuary which Asia’s largest and of its kind ASS sanctuary. You have Kazianga in Assam which is best known for conserving one horned Rhinos. Don’t you want that you should be surrounded in greens and a sudden roar could make you scream.
