North And South India Tours: Best Of Human Grandeur And Tranquil Nature

India has been home to many dynasties that rose to power and then fell to anonymity, leaving marks of their culture and traditions all over the world. India Tours showcase different centres with their diversified cultures all over India, tied by a thread of perfect unity and camaraderie. With Delhi, the political capital of India, North India holds an important economic and social position in the country and North India Tours are a treat for those who wish to unravel India’s grandeur and royal heritage.

South India tours take you closer to Nature and ancient glory of India. The hold of spirituality, classical dance and music forms, Ayurveda, and temples that are thousands of years old, South India is the wise sage of India. Together, North and South India tours cover most important tourist destinations across India from Himalayas to Indian Ocean – such as frozen lands of Ladakh with its monasteries, forts and palaces of Rajasthan, Taj Mahal in Agra, pilgrimage destinations around River Ganges, Khajuraho Temples of Madhya Pradesh, tropical beaches of Goa and Kerala backwaters.

North India Tours give tourists a spectacular view of the country with myriad options to provide the experience of a lifetime. The treasures hidden in North India are irresistible and are capable of enveloping the hearts of the tourists with joy of have chosen the right place. North India tours are exceptional in terms of facilities they offer and tourist destinations there are full of either vibrant colors or religious fervour of the locals or royal extravagance. You can also see the architectural wonders and lingering influence of the country and traditions from the medieval period here – forts and palaces of Rajputs in Rajasthan, Mughal architectural heritage strewn across Old Delhi and Agra, and the European legacy of New Delhi, which was developed by British.

Hill stations in Himalayas in North India and dotting the Deccan Plateau landscape in South India offer an exuberating and breath-taking view of the beautiful country. Some of the most popular hill stations of India include Shimla, Kullu, Manali, Darjeeling, Ooty, and Munnar. While hill stations of North provide views of snow-covered peaks and valleys of Himalayas and offer more opportunities for adventure activities such as trekking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and white river rafting, hill stations of Deccan India are known for their tranquillity, Ayurveda packages, and aromatic spice, tea and coffee plantations.

North India and South India both provides ample destinations to cover for pilgrimage tours, adventure tours, and honeymoon tours but their flavours differ. Most of the prominent pilgrimage destinations of Hindus in South India are location high on the hills or along the banks of sacred River Ganga. Pilgrimage destinations of other religions in North India include Dilwara Jain Temples at Ranakpur, Dargah Sharief at Ajmer and Sheikh Chisti Dargah at Fatehpur Sikri for Muslims, Golden Temple at Amritsar and Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Bodhgaya, Sarnath, Sanchi and Dharmshala.

South India too has its fair share of pilgrimage destinations with Rameshwaram, the wealthiest temple trust of Tirupati Balaji, and likes of Meenakshi Temple that represent Dravidian architecture – subdued and unostentatious and yet intricately carved and grand in its presence. South India offers deep sea adventures just like North India offers adventure in mountains. Certainly a match for each other in all terms, North and South India together offer a most delightful India tour experience you can hope for.

Uttar Pradesh Travel Guide

Often reffered to as the cow belt or Hindi belt, Uttar Pradesh has been the most dominant state in Indian politics and culture since Independence, producing nine of India's 13 prime ministers. This is partly because it's the nation's most populous state - it has as many inhabitants as Brazil -and partly because of the central role the region plays in the religious landscape of Hindus.

The Ganges River, which forms the backbone of Uttar Pradesh, is the sacred river of Hinduism, and four of the religion's seven holy towns are in the state, including Varanasi , the holiest of them all. Uttar Pradesh is also a place of major importance to Buddhists, for it was at Sarnath, just outside Varanasi, that the Buddha first preached his message of the middle way. The general , what India is probably known for with a lot of people, is located in Agra . From Agra, most people set off for a visit to the ghost town Fatehpur Sikri .

Most of Uttar Pradesh consists of the vast Ganges plain, an area of awesome flatness which often floods dramatically during the monsoon. The people of this area are predominantly poorly educated farmers, whose unequal share in the wealth and resources enjoyed by the state's urbanites is a matter of social concern. In stark contrast to the plains, the scenic northwestern corner has hill stations sprinkled along the foothills of the Himalaya, boasts excellent trekking and rises to form some of the highest mountains in India.
