India’s allure lies in its fusion of ancient mystique and modern vibrancy, ensuring an unforgettable journey through time and culture.

India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. It has achieved all-round socio-economic progress since Independence. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity. Bounded by the Great Himalayas in the north, it stretches southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west.

Religious India

India’s pilgrimage circuit encompasses a sacred journey to the Char Dham (comprising Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri), Rishikesh, Ayodhya, Kedarnath, and Haridwar. Each destination holds profound religious significance, attracting devotees from around the world.

Rishikesh, situated on the banks of the Ganges, is a revered spiritual center known for yoga and meditation retreats.

Ayodhya is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, drawing pilgrims to its ancient temples and historical sites.

Kedarnath, nestled amidst the Himalayas, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the Char Dhams.

Haridwar, where the Ganges exits the mountains, hosts the Kumbh Mela, a massive religious gathering held every 12 years.

These destinations collectively offer a spiritual odyssey through India’s sacred heartland, steeped in devotion and ancient wisdom.
