About India

India’s rich history can be traced back to at least 2500BC when the first known civilisation settled along the Indus River. India’s vastness that challenges the imagination, being home to one sixth of the world's population.

The beauty of the breathtaking Himalayas in the North, magical charm of colourful Rajastan, surreal beauty of the Taj Mahal, spiritual atmosphere along the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi, and the stunning deserted coastline of Kerala, all combine to make India a truly unique holiday destination.

Dehli, the capital of India, boasts an impressive fort, reminiscent of the city’s Mughal past and a maze of curious streets and alleys in the old city.
