About India

India is a vast and diverse country, home to over a billion people and boasting a rich cultural history. India is a confluence of important religious belief systems, including Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Sikhism. India prides itself on promoting the message of peace and linguistic harmony among these communities.

Located in southern Asia, India is home to the legendary monument of love, the Taj Mahal, as well as other incredible destinations like the Portuguese churches in Goa, the pristine Kerala backwaters in the south, and the traditional Rajputana carvings in Rajasthan. Each state has its own distinct flavour in terms of cuisine, language, architecture, lifestyles, and medicine. India also boasts a rich architectural heritage, serene ghats, spectacular landscapes, and the largest tiger reserve.

Since gaining independence from British rule in 1947, India has made significant progress in every sphere, including growth and development across sectors such as the economy, infrastructure, professional services, businesses, pharmaceuticals, medical tourism, and hospitality. As you travel through India, you will encounter a vast range of tourism choices, each one unique in terms of land and nature, people, tribes, cuisine, faiths, dance forms, music, arts, crafts, adventure, sport, spirituality, and history.

Over the last 70 years of independence, India has achieved all-round socio-economic progress. The change is clearly visible in the Tier I and Tier II cities. However, the fascinating aspect lies in the stark difference between the new and old parts of the same cities. From world-class airports and hotels, luxurious shopping malls, restaurants, pubs, and cafes to overcrowded streets and alleyways filled with thousands of little shops offering every possible modern and ethnic product and native street food, India offers a fascinating experience.
