India is a unique country which is so diverse that it often perplexed visitors. This country is blessed with geographic and socio-cultural diversity. This is a country where you will find lofty mountain peaks of Himalayas in north; vast stretch of Indian Ocean in south, old craggy mountains in center, arid sand desert in the west; pristine unexplored hills of northeast, river plains in the central India and many more geographic landscapes. India is therefore one of the very few countries with such a diverse geography. India is also blessed with an equally diverse culture. Each culture of India has distinct way of life, language, food habits, arts, dressing style, aspirations and traits. Best way to reach India is by Air. Regular international flights connect Indian cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmadabad and Trivandrum. Entire India is well connected by the Indian Railway network so travelling from one city to another city is much easier. Flights from Europe and US are now growing each year. Domestic airlines also cover almost entire India.
