Ladakh is a cold mountain desert situated on a high altitude plateau at India's furthest frontier bordered by Pakistan, Tibet and China. Amongst its folds, it preserves an ancient culture, vast swathes of land, deep valleys, roaring rivers, wizened faces, rosy cheeks, dragons and zen Buddhism, prayer flags, a dense concentration of monasteries, yaks and snow leopards, and an ethereal magical medieval atmosphere. Ladakh's miles and stretches of mostly barren dessicated land is dotted with quaint little vibrant green hamlets oozing wild roses and lavender, groves of willows, fields of barley and orchards of apricot. The Indus river snakes its way through its mountains and valleys and provides the much needed water to this cold desert. Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and the Karakoram, it lies athwart two other, the Ladakh range and the Zanskar mountains. 

Attractions
Leh
The capital city of Ladakh is also its biggest and most vibrant. Sitting pretty in the shadows of snow crested peaks it is the hub of commerce and culture in the exotic province of Ladakh. 
Dras Valley
The Dras Valley is formed by the Dras River which rises in the Machoi glacier near the famous Zozila Pass. In summer, as the snow in the uplands melt, the volume of this river rises considerably. The terrain is characterized by rocks and stones, groves of willows and gurgling streams.

Nubra Valley
One of Ladakh's prettiest valleys, Nubra is clad in acres of wild yellow and pink roses, in August when the roses are all gone the valley turns into a carpet of wild lavender. Relatively warmer than other parts of Ladakh, Nubra is where all the orchards are and the valley is also famously called the orchard of Ladakh. 

Suru Valley
The Suru Valley is formed by the catchments of the Suru River, which rises from the Panzella glacier, this beautiful valley with its lush carpeted floor, spectacular rock faces and rushing waters makes an enchanting tableau. 

Kargil
Located on the banks of the Suru river Kargil is an important halt for journeys to and from Leh. It was once an important trade destination as it lay on the caravan trail that carried merchandise to China and beyond. 

Zanskar Valley
Zanskar is one of the oldest inhabited places in the world, situated in a far flung corner of Ladakh it is a deserted and at the same time incredibly beautiful valley containing a clutch of idyllic villages and crumbling monasteries.

Adventures
The summer months from mid May to mid October see a lot of mountain sports and adventure activities in this region. The most popular are trekking expeditions through the valleys, cycling through the zig zag mountain roads, mountain climbing, jeep safaris, camel safaris and even Yak safaris and wildlife treks.

Monasteries
Ladakh has the highest concentration of monasteries in all of India. Lamayuru is the grandest monastery here. The monasteries of Shey, Thiksey, Hemis, Stakna, Matho and Stok lie along the Indus, south-east of Leh and the monasteries of Spituk, Likir, Alchi, Rhizdong are in the west. A treasure trove of religious sentiment and the rich Buddhist culture, these monasteries are windows into the very soul of Ladakh. 

Fairs and Festivals
Festivals in Ladakh are celebrated with much fanfare and merry-making. In this deserted land festivals provide people with opportunities to interact with each other, form new ties and renew old ones.

Location
Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds is an architectural wonder, befitting the appellation well with its abundance of windows that circulate tranquil breeze and its look, that resembles more a cascading screen than a building. Tourists visit mostly during October to February to bathe themselves in the wallowing wind and sweep the entire Pink City (Jaipur, as it is called) at one glance from its pristine heights.

The Genesis of the Palace of Winds
Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh built this magnanimous monument in 1799, as an extension of the Zenana or the women's chambers, so that from its legion of windows they could command an excellent view of the entire city and its activities from their seclusion. 

Architectural Feat
The structure of this regal 'veil' is truly a classic emblem of Rajput artistry. This unrivalled piece of architecture, master-minded by Lal Chand Usta, is a five-storey pyramid shaped palace built in red and pink sandstone and ethnically outlined with white borders. The building is hewn with a series of 953 casements - each with netted pink windows, small balconies, arched roofs and exquisitely modelled hanging cornices. The royal doorway opens to a spacious courtyard peppered with buildings and a museum. Interestingly, there are no stairways in the palace. Do not worry, visitors need not train themselves to be spider-man, the ramps will take you to the upper echelons without trouble. 

Visit the place at sunrise and you will be left benumbed at the celestial aura the palace wears. We can plan for you an enthralling visit to the Hawa Mahal along with your various sight-seeing tours in India. 

Don't Miss these out
Jantar Mantar : An architechtural miracle built by Maharaja Jai Singh in India's 'Pink City' - Jaipur. Within its tall walls is enclosed a world of scientific secrets for the visitors to come and unravel.

» Laxmi Narayan Temple : An architechtural wonder by the Birla family - this is the counterpart of Delhi's Birla temple. This three-domed beauty in white marble spellbinds onlookers at night.

» Jaigarh Fort : The Jaigarh or the Fort of Victory was built to protect the royal treasury. A walk through the interiors and the museum will transport you ages backwards to the period of the Maharajahs.

» Amber Fort : A magnificent must-visit tourist destination in Rajasthan built in white marble and red sandstone and foregrounded by the beautiful Moata Lake! 

Accessibility
The well connected airport, Sanganer, is 15 km from the city. The rail junction has all the major trains, including the tourist heart-throb Palace On Wheels that starts from Delhi every Wednesday. Delhi at 262 km has regular luxury and budget buses to Jaipur.

A swarm of India's best beaches are knitted to Tamil Nadu's 900 km coastline. The swashing Bay of Bengal, casuarina groves, the majestic palm tress and the sea-shells - typical beaches, yet with the most extraordinary appeal. And to understand what this statement means, you have to explore the virgin shores yourself. Are you a game? Bet, the trip will make a poet out of you! 

The Fabled Beaches....
Chennai Beaches - The capital of Tamil Nadu has some of the most exotic beaches. The 13 km long stretch of the Marina Beach, the second longest in the world, is the most popular. Animated with picnicking families, horse-riding campaigns, vendors and the student from the famous Presidency College just flanking the beach, it holds a rare excitement that cannot be contained in words. Just 58 km, south of Chennai lies Mahabalipuram or Mamallapuram with a sylvan beach, a crocodile farm, snake venom extracting centre, schools of art and sculpture making it a popular venue. 

At the southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal coalesce, is Kanyakumari. The meeting point called Sangam and the Vivekananda's Rock, where the guru once meditated are the main attractions of this exotic beach.

Rameshwaram Beach - The beauteous beach and the famous Ramanathaswamy Temple make Rameshwaram, a quiet seaside hamlet, a tourist hub. Bordered by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar, Rameshwaram is also a pilgrimage centre for both Shaivaites and Vaishnavaites. 

Covelong Beach - 40 km away from the bustling town of Chennai is Covelong Beach, an interesting locale if you are looking forward to basking under the sun unhindered watching fishermen in the distance. 

Pulicat Beaches - A saline shallow water spread formed by the confluence of Backwaters, Pullcat Lake and Buckingham Canal situated on the northern end of Tamil Nadu is an ideal picnic spot. A boating cruise in the waters and a visit to the neighboring Bird Sanctuary add to the romance of this place.

The successive generations of Moghul emperors added to Agra’s charms, Akbar gave it the labyrinthine Agra Fort and built the nearby city of Fatehpur Sikri.

Location
Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

A three centuries old white marbled Mausoleum found India a position amongst nations with architectural 'wonders'. What is it so regal about this ancient monument that makes grizzled-heads sit for months trying to appropriate its grandiose in their canvass, scribes pile volumes of outpour, tourists from across the earth stand enamored at its sheer elegance. The Taj Mahal - construed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal is an eclectic assortment of Persian and Turkish motifs blended with Hindu elements.¿¿

The Legend - Taj
Arjumand Banu, fondly remembered as Mumtaz Mahal or the 'Chosen One of the Palace', was more than a wife to the fifth Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan. Amongst his many wives, she was the most loved and trusted. Her death so crushed the emperor that he locked himself in a room for more than a week without food. His black beard turned completely white when he emerged from his seclusion with the plan of immortalizing their love with an architectural insignia - the greatest the world ever saw. The particular site was an obvious choice because he could view it clearly from his palace - the Agra Fort. Construction began in 1631 and took 22 years, toils of twenty thousand labourers, about 1,000 elephants for transportation and the inimitable expertise of Iranian architect Ustad Isa, to complete what became the Seventh Wonder of the World.¿¿

Refuting the romanticism that bathes the legend, some historians believe that the grandeurof the Taj was far too noble to commemorate the love of one woman. Though it was a mausoleum, it can equally be a symbol of an autocratic ruler flaunting his own grandeur. Whatever the cause, India and the world will forever remain indebted to him for the earth's most beautiful mausoleum.
The Structure
Only a stroll in the plush gardens laced around the Taj Mahal on a moonlit night will do justice to feeling the magnanimity of what Rabindranath Tagore once called "like a solitary tear suspended on the cheek of time". A classic reflection of the Mughal architecture of that age, the monument is set amidst sprawling gardens overlooking the meandering Yamuna river. The four minarets, set symmetrically about the tomb, are scaled down to heighten the effect of the dominant, slightly bulbous dome. Within the dome lies the cenotaph of the queen decorated in pietra dura and the 99 different names of Allah encrypted. As many as 35 different types of precious stones - turquoise, jade, agate, coral, lapis Lazuli, onyx, bloodstone, cornelian, jasper, garnet and malachite used to fashion blooms of fuchsias, lily, honeysuckle, etc. So exquisite is the workmanship that the Taj has been described as "having been designed by giants and finished by jewelers". The buildings white marbled exterior responds 'with an extraordinary subtlety to changing light and weather', giving it that aura of ethereal aplomb. It seems bathed in a pink glow in the morning, milky white in the evening and varnished in a tint of gold on a moonlit night.

Situated in the northern most extremity of India, Ladakh lies among parallel mountain ranges running from south-east to the north-west. To the north the towering, stark snow clad mountains of the Karakorum and Kun Lun range separate Ladakh from Central Asia and Tibet. The stunning granite hills of the Ladakh range, the silver waters of the roaring Indus river, the drawn-out mountain maze of the Zanskar range and the mountains of the Himalayas are what make Ladhak's landscape so unforgettable. Down the centuries Ladakh's political isolation and geographic inaccessibility has helped preserve a culture that is unique and frozen in the past. Its people have adopted to the vagaries of this harsh, barren land and comfortably reside at altitudes ranging from 2700 to 4500 meters while the nomadic Changpa roam and camp at even higher altitudes. The people here are predominantly Buddhists, followed by Muslims and a small population of Moravian Christians in Leh. The many ancient monasteries dotting the countryside and colourful prayer flags flutter in stark contrast to the grays and browns of the landscape. 

A Jeep safari is a superb way to explore this land, it is easy, fast and very comfortable. Though Ladakh is noted for its treks but they are mostly strenuous and need a level of physical fitness before they can be undertaken, the lack of oxygen at such a high altitude is another factor that makes physical exertion difficult. Though the roads are rough, exploring the remote regions of Ladakh on jeep has been gaining continuous popularity with tourists as it allows the freedom to tailor one's own itinerary, cover the most famous sites and enjoy the panoramic surroundings and pretty landscapes without too much exertion and in much lesser time than a trek on foot or horseback. The preferred and also some of the toughest jeep safari destinations in Ladakh are Tsmori-Ri, Nubra and Dah Hanu. Khardungla pass is the second highest motorable pass in the world and affords sweeping views of these vast mountain ranges. One can hire our services and be safe in the knowledge of a well-planned tour including the arrangements of meals, accommodation, guides and porters.

Location
Amritsar, Punjab, India

The Golden Temple, popular amongst the adherents of the Sikh religion as Sri Harmandir Sahib or Sri Darbar Sahib, is the sacred seat of Sikhism. Bathed in a quintessential golden hue that dazzles in the serene waters of the Amrit Sarovar that lace around it, the swarn mandir (Golden temple) is one that internalizes in the mind scape of its visitors, no matter what religion or creed, as one of the most magnificent House of Worship. 

Through the quiet lanes of history
The origin of this sacred shrine is shrouded in mystery. The most plausible genesis can be traced back to the then prevailing social belief that the waters of the present Amrit Sarovar or the Lake of Nectar had magical medicinal properties that could cure various ailments as serious as leprosy. The third Sikh Guru, Amar Das even found a herb on its bank that cured the skin ailment of his predecessor Guru Angad. This place became the obvious choice of Guru Amar Das and his successor Ram Das for building an abode of worship for the propagation of their faith. The construction of the tank and the formation of a quiet hamlet of followers in its vicinity was completed by 1577. The fifth Sikh Guru Arjan Sahib, when he ascended the throne, decided to construct a temple right in the middle of that tank. It is believed that at his behest a Muslim saint, Hazrat Mian Mir ji of Lahore, laid the foundation of the temple in December, 1588. Laborious toils of Sikh devotees followed to give to the world one of its most beautiful shrines ever. The tank was christened Amritsar - that became the very name of that place. 
The Structure
The Golden temple, unlike those echoing the Hindu temple architecture, was constructed on the lower level on a 67 ft. square platform in the centre of the tank and had four entrances. The basic architecture resonates both Hindu and Muslim elements. The golden gilding and the rich ornamentation with precious stones date back to the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It treasures on a jewel-studded platform, the Adi Grantha or the sacred scripture of Sikhs wherein are enshrined holy inscriptions by the ten Sikh gurus and various Hindu and Moslem saints. The 202 ft bridge that leads to the temple is connected with the circumambulatory path that borders the temple and leads to the 'Har ki Pauri' or the steps of God. The very structure seems to emanate the secularism that its builders aimed to propagate and is often quoted to stand as the progenitor of the independent Sikh school of Architecture.

Location 
Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India

Bathed in a cascade of colors is the beautiful Meenakshi Temple - a typical, yet classic representative of Dravidian temple architecture with its gopurams (large sclupted gateways) and mandapams (multi-pillared halls). Lord Shiva and his consort Meenakshi or the Fish-eyed one are the reigning deities here. The complex, the dual shrines dedicated to the god and the goddess add to the elegance and the mystery of a divine legend - not widely known in the other parts of India. 

The Legend of Meenakshi
The Pandyan King, who is accredited to have built the princely state Madhurai (Former Madurai), was childless and after years of prayers and devotion was blessed with a Ayonija child (one born not from the womb). This child, an incarnation of Shiva and Parvati, had three breasts and fish-shaped eyes and smelled like a fish. It was said that the abnormalities would dissappear when she met her rightful man. The child was named Meenakshi - Meen meaning 'fish' and akshi meaning 'eyes'. After her father's death she took the reigns of power and was cured of her ailments the moment she met Lord Shiva or Sundareshwara (the Beautiful Almighty). In their marriage the Lord entertained his guests with the mighty Chidambaram or the cosmic dance. The pair thus became another insignia of of Shiv-Shakti mythology. 

The Structure
The majestic shrine of Lord Shiva, measuring 254 by 237 mt. lies at the centre of the temple complex. Nine gopurams (monumental sclupted gateways), each 200 ft high, circumvents the temple precincts. The tallest spire is 60 mt and had the designation of the tallest of its kind in entire Asia for a long time. The temple has a thousand pillared hall with 985 beautifully scultured pillars which are tourist favorite. The shrine was expanded by emperors of the Vijaynagara dynasty during the late 16th Century and it took about 120 years to complete. 

The ritual dominance of the goddess developed much later and today tourists flock this place seeking blessings and partake in the legion of festivals that take place almost round the year. The power of Shiv-Shakti is something so predominantly felt in the temple precincts that many believe that a visit to the temple brings luck to the newly married.

Don't miss these out....
» Vandiyur Mariamman Teppakulam - A famous South Indian temple with Lord Vigneswara as the presiding deity. The temple hosts the Annual Float Festival in the months of January/ February.

Ancient History
The Indian history commences with the beginning of the Indus Valley Civilization in places like Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa, and Lothal, and the advancing of the Aryans. These two parts are elaborated as the pre-Vedic and Vedic periods where in the Vedic period Hinduism arose and this is the period to which the Vedas are dated. Under the rule of Ashoka, in the fifth century, large parts of India were united who eventually adopted Buddhism, and spread it to other parts of Asia.

Medieval History
During the Mauryan period, Hinduism found its roots and spread to the other parts of the country. Islam was introduced in the eighth century, and by the eleventh century was firmly grounded as a political force. All the North Indian dynasties like Lodhis, Tughlaqs, and numerous others, whose remains are visible in Delhi and scattered elsewhere around North India, were finally taken over by the Mughals, who established political unity in the country.

Modern History 
The seventeenth century marks the beginning of the British rule in the country where in the latter part of this century the Mughal empire began to disintegrate, laying the way for regional states. The British conquests at the battlefields of Plassey and Buxar marked their supremacy over the Mughals. The Rebellion of 1857-58, which tried to restore the Indian supremacy, was crushed; and later with the crowning of Victoria as Queen of India, the inclusion of India into the British empire was complete. By the early part of the twentieth century, a nationalist movement began and by 1919-20, Mohandas Karamchand ('Mahatma') Gandhi had came out as the undisputed leader of this movement. The freedom movement gained momentum and finally drove the British out of India in 1947 but only at the cost of the division of the nation into two nations namely India and Pakistan.signed the precise constitutional future of India. On 26 January 1950, India became a Republic, and the Constitution of India was promulgated. The Indian National Congress, which had led the country to freedom, remained the largest and most influential party under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru, who became India's first Prime Minister and led the country from 1947 to 1964. During his session he introduced the five year plans, depicted to bring big science and industry to India; in Nehru's own language, steel mills and dams were to be the temples of modern India. Relations with Pakistan remained tensed, and the apparent friendship of India and China proved to be false, when China invaded India's borders in 1962. 

Lal Bahadur Shastri was the next prime minister, who led the country to victory over Pakistan in 1965; but dyed of a heart attack the day after the treaty was signed. He was succeeded by Indira Gandhi, Pandit Nehru's daughter. By the late 1960s, Indira Gandhi devised a split in the Congress, to ensure her political survival, and the Congress had been reduced to a shadow of its former self. 1971 saw the victory of India over Pakistan in a short war that also saw the birth of Bangladesh, and Indira was now at the throne of her powers. Domestic problems mounted and Indira Gandhi declared an internal emergency in May 1975, which put entire opposition behind the bars. The emergency was lifted in 1977 and the same opposition quickly devised a strategy, and defeated the Congress party in national elections. This new government lasted a mere three years, and Indira Gandhi regained the power in 1980. But unfortunately she was assassinated on October 31’1984,

Orissa's 482 km of exotic coastline has some of the most enthralling beaches in the world. The roaring waves stirred by the invigorating breeze, water sports enthusiasts intervening this fusion relentlessly, children frolicking about looking for sea-shells, sadhus taking a holy dip chanting aloud, the rare Olive Ridley Turtles' eggs at some unexplored nook - the beaches at Orissa can only be termed stupendous. 

Gopalpur On Sea - Perched close to the Bay of Bengal, 18 kms southeast of Berhampur, is the town of Gopalpur laced with an exotic beach popular for surfing, swimming and sun-basking. Northwest of Gopalpur lies Taptapani, famous for its hot water sulphur spring known to cure skin ailments.

Balasore - 214 km northeast of Bhubaneswar, Balasore is convenient base point for excursions to Chandikpur and Remuna. Also noted for its traditional handicrafts of lacquered toys, brass-works and stone carvings. 
Chandipur - 16 km east of Balasore, is Chandipur, another pristine beach. Here the sea, recedes five kilometres at low tide and then flows rhythmically after a regular interval every day. This play of the tide combined with bracing environs make it a wonderful vacationing jaunt. 

What else to check out in Orissa
Bhubaneshwar's 500 glorious temples - the Lingaraja Temple, Mukteswara Temple, Raja Rani Temple, the Parasurameswara Temple and the Savaranjaleswara Temple - to name a few are major tourist attractions. At the Nandankanan Wildlife Sanctuary you can enjoy the lion safari. Also pick some silver filigree (Tarakasi), stone and woodcarving, Patta paintings and silk fabrics before you leave. 

Located 60 km from Bhubaneswar is the Hindu pilgrimmage centre Puri or Sri Purushottama Dham, with the famed Jagannath Temple. Enjoy a day at the Chilika Lake here, watching the aquatic beauty and the dolphins. Gundicha Ghar, Temple of Child Krishna at Indradyumna Tank and so on are its other attractions.

About 35 km from Puri is Konark's colossal Sun Temple or the Black Pagoda - built like a blazing chariot on 12 pairs of giant wheels and with abundance of Kama Sutra sclupting on the walls, is a must-visit.

Ladakh is the remote high altitude plateau cradled by the Karakoram and the great Himalayan ranges. To get to this desolate and hauntingly beautiful land, one has to either take a flight or after a point drive through treacherous passes along some of the highest motorable roads in the world. Snow crested peaks, acres of mountainous desert land, high altitude lakes, gorgeous monasteries and an amazing culture are the other attractions in Ladakh besides its dominating landscape. Ladakh is full of trails that connect remote villages spread across ancient trade routes, and there is no better way to absorb this fascinating land than to trek through it. Leh, the capital city of Ladakh and also its largest has for centuries been an important trade link on the legendary silk route, even today it is the epicenter of all commercial and cultural activity that takes place in the province. It is also the starting point from where most treks begin. But remember even the so called 'easy' treks of Ladakh and Zanskar are difficult as all of them start at over 4,800 m, and many have passes over 3,000m. A successful Trek in Ladakh requires you to acclimatise well as the rarefied air contains a lesser degree of oxygen. To acclimatise, spend a few days in Leh, go for gentle walks and get used to the altitude before you set out on your trek. 

Many areas in Ladakh are so far removed from civilisation that you may walk for a whole day without coming across another human being, with no road signs on the mostly indiscernible trails it is easy to get lost and the best thing to do is to hire a guide. A good guide can also point out flowers, birds and plants that you may miss out on and enlighten you on local legend and lore to make your trip more interesting. 

Popular Treks In Ladakh

Down south at the tip of the nation is Kanyakumari, the Cape Comorin of the British era. Rocky and treacherous with a turbulent sea challenging the manmade wall running along it, the beach is one of its kind. Add to it the confluence of the three water bodies - the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean - called the Thriveni Sangamam. Even the sand here is an enmesh of colors - a mesmeric replica of the sublime confluence of waters that create havoc on its shores. Anytime is good time to visit Kanyakumari. But winters, between October and March, is the best time to pack your bags for Kanyakumari.

The Beach With A Difference
The Rock - This is not one of the regular languid sun-basking beach. The riotous waves create simultaneous ripples in the heart as they dash against the rocks and leave you drenched. Two of these rocks reach out of the ocean. At one of these, Sri Padaparai is said to bear the footprints of the virgin goddess and Swami Vivekananda is said to have sit in deep meditation here. This, tagged the Vivekananda Rock, became the site for the Vivekananda Rock Memorial built in 1970, a major tourist attraction of India. The tranquility the place commands amidst the sound of the tumultuous waves is fascinating. The meditation centre is justly located. Another site houses the Gandhi Memorial where the Mahatma's ashes were kept before immersion in the Sangam. 

he Kanyakumari Temple - Locally called the Kumari Amman, the temple is a Shakti Peetha that enshrines Goddess Parvati, whose glistering diamond nose-ring is said to catch the attention of sea-farers even from far. 

Sun's Antics - Kanyakumari boasts of world's most spellbinding sun sets and sun rises. The beach lighthouse can be an ideal place to replenish the sight.

Flitting Around
Just 6 km away, at Vattakottai or the 18th century Circular Fort, is an exciting destination for holidaymakers. About 19 km away is Nagercoil housing the Nagaraja or the Serpent God's Temple where the sand from the spot is given as prasadam. The Thiruparappu Waterfalls are 60 km away and has a majestic architectural temple replete with paintings. Muttam at 32 km from Kanyakumari is an enthralling beach with a tall lighthouse. Kalakkadu and Mundanthurai are two wildlife sanctuaries in case you are also planning some wildlife photography.

Reaching Kanyakumari
The nearest airport is in Thiruvananthapuram, 87 km away. Kanyakumari is well-connected with all places by rail and road. Local transport is bus, auto rickshaw and taxi. And if you have opted for one of our tours, your conveyance is taken care of.

Looking Back
Goa, however, has a long history of being the-place-in-demand. Out of the muddle of power mongers, the Portuguese emerged victorious and held the reigning cudgels for over four centuries until 1961, when Goa was declared independent. The Portugese have, nevertheless, so ingrained the very matrix of Goa, that it feels more a chunk of Portugal grafted in India.

The Beaches - the Riviera of the East
» Arjuna Beach - Lacing the ancient Chapora Fort, is the beatific but bustling Anjuna beach. The Calangute - Baga - Anjuna beach belt north of Panaji is most populous and developed, fueled entirely by the apalling tourist influx.

» Baga Beach - The crescent-shaped Baga with its soft white sands is a popular joint for water-sports activities like para sailing, jet skiing, body boarding and surfing. The dolphin cruises in the sea is a rage with tourists. Nocturnals stay back for the late-night parties here.

» Calangute Beach - Highly popular beach thronged with tourists and vendors selling every thinkable sea-side ware. Called the Queen of Goa beaches, celebrations and fun unlimited is the buzzword here.

» Vagator Beach - A few minuted drive from Anjuna towards Panaji brings you to the Vagator beach. Cloistered and embellished with palm fringed colonnades, the beache with black laterite cliffs boast of Primrose, Nine Bar (both open air clubs) and Disco Valley (the Christmas and Sylvester parties hot-hub) as its most recognized landmarks.

» Dona Paula Beach - As pretty as its exquisite name, Dona Paula is comparatively peaceful, unlike the others bustling with activities. Dona Paula beach has variegated water sports facilities, especially water scootering. Besides, it is a very picturesque locale commanding a grand view of the Zuari river and Mormugao Harbour, and an idyllic spot to relax and sunbathe.

The list of beaches are endless and too exotic to be contained in words. About 2 million tourists (both foreign and domestic) throng Goa every year. Choose one of our tour packages for that complete experience of the coastal exotica.

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
A classic fusion of the Mughal and Rajasthani architecture is the City Palace of Jaipur - the seat of power of the mighty Rajputs that lorded the deserts once. The palace complex, divided into courtyards and well-manicured gardens, is interspersed with a swarm of palatial structures like the Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Badal Mahal, Shri Govind Dev Temple and the City Palace Museum - making it an ideal tourist purlieu.

The History of City Palace of Jaipur
Rajput Maharaja of the Kachhwaha clan, Jai Singh II, built this majestic palace encompassing one-seventh of the walled Pink City - Jaipur. The Maharajah and his predecessors administered their domain from here. The Diwan-i-Khas and the Diwan-i-Am - the erstwhile houses of parliament - clearly echo the influence of the Mughal dynasty. The palace was recently in the Guiness Book of World Records for housing the two largest vessels in the world originally used to carry water from the Ganges for the personal use of the royality. The exquisite Afghan and Persian carpets, miniature paintings, astronomical manuscripts in Persian and Sanskrit in the Diwan-i-Aam or House of Public Audience, is reminiscent of the rich cultural transfusion that the era hosted. The Museum at the Chandra Mahal boasts of a priceless display of 15th century war-munitions, paintings of Rajasthani, persian and Mughal schools and costumes of former rulers of Jaipur.

The Structure
The entire courtyard sweep has palaces made by Jai Singh's predecessors. The trail begins with the Mubarak Mahal or the Auspicious Palace built by Maharaja Madho Singh II. The seven-storeyed Chandra Mahal or the Moon Palace overlooking the city and its decorous gardens is the present Maharajah Bhavani Singh's abode. The Sukh Nivas or the Hall of Rest with its regal drawing and room, Shobha Nivas or the Hall of Beauty with its intricate mirror and blue-tiled wall decorations that dazzle in the nights, the Chhavi Nivas or the Hall of Images with a polished floor of eggshell stucco, the uppermost storey Mukut Mahal or the Crown Palace - all take visitors to a bygone era of grandeur and magnificience so typically Indian. Bang opposite of the Chandra Mahal is the Badal Mahal or the Palace of the Clouds. The expanse in between is adorned by the Govind Devji Temple and the boisterous chain of fountain. The Hawa Mahal, the most famous of them all, stands a few yards away from the City Palace.

A visit is a must if you are looking for exciting forays into India's historical past.

Don't Miss these out
Jaigarh Fort -¿¿The Jaigarh or the Fort of Victory was built to protect the royal treasury. A walk through the interiors and the museum will transport you ages backwards to the period of the Maharajahs.

¿¿ Hawa Mahal -¿¿A fantastic screen-like monument originally built as an extension of the ladies Zanana (private chambers) so that they can have an excellent view of the city and its activities from their cloistered refuge. The ventilation strategy is architecture par excellence.

¿¿ Jantar Mantar -¿¿An architechtural miracle built by Maharaja Jai Singh in India's 'Pink City' - Jaipur. Within its tall walls is enclosed a world of scientific secrets for the visitors to come and unravel.

¿¿ Amber Fort -A magnificient must-visit tourist destination built in white marble and red sandstone in the reign of Raja Man Singh, Commander in Chief of Akbar's army. Foregrounded by the beautiful Maotha Lake, it was reputed for being the treasure vault of the Kacchwaha rulers.
