India; a land of mystery and mayhem. Where cattle are sacred and have the right of way and beggars often seem to rule the streets. Here is a land so diverse that you have to visit to understand its chaos, its charm, its colourful history and its spectacular architecture. If there is one place on the face of this Earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when Man began the dream of existence, it is India.

A trip to India is an all-out assault on the senses. You'll travel through heat and dust, sharing the roads and sidewalks with a swirl of bicycles, auto-rickshaws, sputtering motorcycles, overloaded cars, tinsel-draped trucks, scurrying monkeys, snake charmers, beggars, hand-pushed carts, camel carts, ox carts and an occasional (sacred) cow.

India shares its borders with Pakistan, China, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Afghanistan1. Sri Lanka, Maldives and Indonesia are the neighboring island nations in the Indian Ocean. Occupying most of the Indian subcontinent, India's entire north and northeast states are made up of the Himalayan Range. The rest of northern, central and eastern India consists of the fertile Indo-Gangetic plain. Towards western India, bordering southeast Pakistan lies the Thar Desert. The southern Indian peninsula is almost entirely composed of the Deccan plateau. The plateau is flanked by two hilly coastal ranges, the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats. India is home to several major rivers such as the Ganga (Ganges), the Brahmaputra, the Yamuna, the Godavari and the Krishna. The Indian climate varies from a tropical climate in the south to a more temperate climate in the north. India gets its rains through the monsoons.
