India - The country of myths and color (Incredible India)
India, it is often said, is not a country but a continent. From
north to south and east to west, the people are different, the
languages are different, the customs are different, and the
country is different. There are few countries on earth with the
enormous variety that India has to offer. It's a place that
somehow gets into your blood. Love it or hate it you can never
ignore India. It's not an easy country to handle, and more than
a few visitors are only too happy to finally get on to their
flight and leave the place. Yet a year later they'll be
hankering to get back. It all comes back to India's amazing
diversity it's as vast as it is crowded, and as luxurious as it
is squalid
The plains are as flat and featureless, as the Himalaya are high
and spectacular the food as terrible as it can be magnificent,
the transport as exhilarating as it can be boring and
uncomfortable. Nothing is ever quite the way you expect it to
be. India is far from the easiest country in the world to travel
around. It can be hard going, The poverty will get you down,
Indian bureaucracy would try the patience of a saint, and the
most experienced travelers find their tempers frayed at some
point in India. Yet it's all worth it. Very briefly, India is
roughly a triangle with the top formed by the mighty Himalayan
mountain chain. Here you will find the intriguing Tibetan
influenced region of Ladakh and the astonishingly beautiful
mountainous areas of Himachal Pradesh, the Garhwal of Uttar
Pradesh and the Darjeeling and Sikkim regions. South of this is
the flat Ganges plain, crossing east from the colorful and
comparatively affluent punjab in the north-west, past the
capital city Delhi and important tourist attractions like Agra
(with the. Taj Mahal), Khajuraho, Baranasi and the holy Ganges
to the northern end of the Bay of Bengal, where you find teeming
Calcutta, a city which seems to sum up all of India's enormous
problems. South of this northern plain the Dec can plateau
rises.
Here you will find cities that mirror the rise and fall of the
Hindu and Muslim Kingdoms, and the modern metropolis that their
successors, the British, built at Mumbai (formally known as
Bombay), India's stouy is one of many different kingdoms
competing wit each other, and this is never more clear then in
places like Bijyapur, Mandu, Gokconda and other central Indian
centers. Finally, there is the steamy south, where Muslim
influence was fleeting. It's here that Hinduism was the least
altered by outside influences and is at its most exuberant. The
superbly colorful temple towns of the south are quite unlike
those of the north. Basically India is what you make of it and
what you want it to be. If you want to see temples, there are
temples in profusion in enough styles and denominations to
confuse anybody. If it's history you want India is full of it;
the forts, abandoned cities, ruins battlefields and monuments
all have their tales to tell. If you simply want to lie on the
beach there are enough to satisfy the most avid sun worshipper.
If walking and the open air is your thing then head for the
trekking routes of the Himalaya, some of which are as wild and
deserted as you could ask for. If you simply want to find the
real India you'll come face to face with it every day – trips on
Indian trains and buses may not always be fun, but they
certainly are an experience. India is not a place you simply and
clinically 'see'; it's a total experience, an assault on the
senses, a place you'll never forget.. - - From Lonely Planet
