Rajasthan |
Rajasthan, "land of kings", is steeped in romantic history, chivalry and valour. It boasts of some of the finest fortress palaces against the stark desert landscape dotted with highly coloured costumes of handsome people, turbaned men and richly jewelled women, havelis and villages, fairs and festivals. Many of the ancients forts, palaces and private hunting lodges have now been converted into hotels. |

Goa
is a complete destination in itself, with a necklace of the finest beaches
India can offer, a cultural background (and mouth-watering cuisine) that
draws on an enjoyable fusion of Indian and Portuguese traditions, a tranquil
rural hinterland, and a host of glorious, baroque churches, chapels and
convents that bear witness to the transience of colonial ambitions.

The
swaying palms over the land of Kerala - thus named after 'Kera' the
beautiful coconut palm. The tall and languid tree that springs to life with
every passing wind. Kerala, a tiny strip on the mighty Indian Peninsula,
is a land that holds so many sights and sounds. Off this enchanting coast,
is a cluster of islands called Laccadives or Lakshwadeep (which means a
lakh of islands). Sunkissed beaches of endless silver sands, blue green
stretches of serene backwaters, the jungles and hills that whisper secrets
of a little know land - nature's symphony for the ears and a soothing balm
for the mind. That's the magic of Kerala and Lakshadweep for you.
