Throbbing with age old tales of romance and chivalry, Rajasthan, reconciles the many paradoxes of India in itself . Rugged forts, testimony to a turbulent history, innumerable temples dating back to the 17th century still survive amidst scattered ruins of medieval cities on the one hand , and unexpected forests glens & lakes , which appear like mirages in the desert , on the other.
Kerala – God”s Own Country ,literally means “land of coconuts.” Almost the entire state lies in the shade of luxuriant coconut palm trees .Visitors may choose , on the one hand, to bask in the tropical sun at Kovalam beach , or else to spend lazy days riding small ferries through the backwater lagoons .Elephants may be caught cavorting in the spacious wild life sanctuaries where as health conscious tourists may be seen rejuvenating themselves through the preventive and remedial natural therapies of Ayurveda which are practiced here .
Uttaranchal , carved out of Uttar Pradesh , sits pretty amidst the Garhwal region which abounds in natural beauty . It is so beautiful and spiritually enchanting that it is often referred to as Dev Bhoomi – The Land of the Gods. The snow clad mountains , swift streams and green valleys seem to come alive through the numerous fascinating festivals held here which beckon people from far and wide , to offer obeisance to the Gods through music and hearts full of joyous faith.
