of tourist attractions. Ranging from history to adventure, medical (Ayurveda, Yoga etc.), spirituality, beaches, and hill stations – India has a category of tourism for every aspect. Whether you are on a business trip, or a honeymoon vacation or even a routine holiday with family/friends, India is famous for making the most remarkable memories. Being a travel enthusiast, I have covered almost all the prominent tourist destinations in India. The divine and unpolluted beauty is capable enough to leave you mesmerized.
The states in north India – Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal – boast of being the most frequented hill stations in India. They draw countless honeymoon couples, nature lovers, religious minded people and adventure enthusiasts from all over the world. The actual beauty of these states lies in ancient temples (Vaishno Devi, Amarnath Cave etc.), snow clad peaks, enchanting valleys, cool rivers, exotic flora & fauna (Corbett National Park, Rajaji National Park), and the rarest of adventure sports (trekking, skiing, white water rafting, paragliding, mountaineering, snow boarding etc.).
Rajasthan is one such state, which is the favourite among all the

history buffs and wildlife lovers. It is undoubtedly the most colourful and vibrant state of India that showcases royal history of the Rajput kings through ancient forts & palaces, colourful festivities, the rarest of wildlife and interesting camel safaris. Places like Amer Fort, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, Kumbhalgarh Fort, Mehrangarh Fort, Fateh Garh Palace, Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, Ranthambore Wildlife Sanctuary etc. are major tourist destinations.
When we talk about historical places in India, the capital city Delhi and the wonder city Agra are considered the gems of Mughal dynasty. From the Red Fort, Old Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, and Qutub Munar of Delhi to the Fatehpur Sikri and Taj Mahal, the symbol of love in Agra – Mughals have created unbeatable monuments. The temples of Delhi (Lotus Temple, Akshardham Temple, ISKCON Temple) are important from religious as well as architectural point of view.
Apart from that, India has a long and beautiful coastline surrounded by the

Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. States like Goa, Tamil Nadu, Maharashatra, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka offer some of the best beaches in the world. These are specially meant for relaxing holidays and superb water sports/activities like sun bathing, swimming, surfing, water scootering, fishing, angling, canoeing etc.
Kerala is one such land that is full of divine greenery and is incomparable in its Ayurveda practices, temples (made in typical Dravidian style) and enchanting backwaters. Luxurious houseboats (traditional Kettuvalloms) here provide you with the unique opportunity of living on waters while exploring all the nearby islands.
Moreover, if you wish to explore the lifestyle of the interesting tribes of India, no other place can compete with the rural areas of the south and east India. Spacial tribal tours are organized to state like Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh etc. This way, India has something to offer to all kinds of tourists. You can choose your desired tour from a wide range of themes and can make your holidays memorable for a lifetime.
