Fascinating beyond your wildest dreams, India is a country that is hard to describe without the use of superlatives. Ancient, mysterious, awe-inspiring, and somewhat overwhelming, this is a destination that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. The country offers something for everyone, from the majesty of the legendary Taj Mahal to a succession of palaces and fortresses and even man-made temple caves carved out of solid mountains; you will never cease to be amazed and impressed by the wonders of India. When you need a break from the sensory over-load of history and architecture you can escape to one of the national parks to see one of the planets most beautiful and endangered animals, the Bengal Tiger, striding through his natural habitat.
