India

An ancient South Asian civilisation, where palaces and forts, holy river-ghat cities, snowy mountains and beaches weave together with diverse cultures.

India lies on the South Asian subcontinent, with the Himalayas to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south, and its terrain ranges from snowy mountains and deserts to tropical coastline. In the north, Delhi, Agra with the Taj Mahal, and Jaipur form the "Golden Triangle," while Udaipur and Jodhpur in Rajasthan are known for their palaces and forts. Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganges, is a holy city of Hinduism; Darjeeling is known for its tea gardens and snowy mountain views; and Goa and Kerala in the south excel in beaches and backwaters. Most regions are at their best from Oct to Mar, while the high-altitude Himalayan areas are best in summer. International airports such as Delhi and Mumbai are the main gateways.
