Himalayas
A
Country that is an abode of nature’s
fabulous creations and unexplained
mysteries. A country of a large topographic
diversity and natural wonders, the land of
Heritage, its Landscape is unparallel to any other
parts of the world. Its natural scenic beauty
is so unique and in contrasts itself from the
North to the South to the East to the West. Its
Magnanimous Magnificent and Mysteriously
Beautiful.
The West of India includes miles and miles of
barren desert that tend to evoke a very different
sense of calm, this ‘Jewel of desert’ with golden
sand dunes is an unadorned beauty. It is certainly
one of the lesser known treasures of India and its
beauty remains unscathed by tourist influx.
The waves from Arabian Sea and the Bay of
Bengal breezes its lengthy shoreline, its coastal
landscapes are the epitome of picture-perfect
seashores.
The Himalayan Kingdom in the North, also known
as “Abode of Snow”, is one of remotest places
in India with the highest peak. With snow-capped
mountains overlooking the valley, tall pine trees
encircling the bed of flowers, a clear blue river
flowing through and furry yaks grazing nearby,
the charming scene receives the perfect finishing
touches. The hills have been sheltering and nurturing the
century-old traditions and cultures that have
prospered the lives of the people in Incredible
India. India is dotted with the awe-inspiring hills
all over the country starting right up from Jammu
and Kashmir to Tamil Nadu, encapsulating over
20 mountain ranges. 
The East is rolling with hills, valleys, mangrove
forest- rivers and lakes, filled with magnificent
surroundings and marvellous valleys having the
tallest plunge and giant waterfall in India known
for its height and beauty with the largest river
island in the world. The pristine blue water
of the lake contrasting with the encircling
rugged brown mountains is truly a surreal
sight. The South of India has Dominating Hills, Lakes,
Rivers, Backwaters and the Land meets with 3
Seas at one point. Western Ghats is a gateway
to the backwaters network linked with canals
and endless stretches of green hills and gushing
waterfalls on all corners. The hill stations charm
entices one to soak in breathtaking views
from its peak which is a meditative
experience.
