India

Beautiful, dramatic and unique, India is a country that combines a wonderfully rich history with an exciting new future. A treat for the senses, it is hard not to fall in love with the vibrant colours, the food and the sights the country has to offer. Delightfully diverse, a visit to India is often a rewarding experience.

With over 9,000 years of recorded history, India has a long and varied story to tell. It has long been recognised for its commercial and cultural wealth, and was the destination for a multitude of invaders, immigrants and visitors throughout its history. These historical influences can still be seen, and are reflected in the cuisine, literature, architecture, language and philosophy of the country, and by the attitude of its people.

Its landscape is as diverse as its culture. From snow capped mountains of the north, to luscious vegetation, forests, stunning beaches, arid deserts, and fertile plains; all provide the backdrop for an abundance of wildlife. It lives up to its promise as a land for all people.

More recently, India has also been at the forefront of an economic boom, and has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Now a prominent hub for IT and telecommunications, the country is a dynamic force which continues to grow and develop. Modern India is a fusion of both this exciting and fast-paced industry and its traditional way of life. Complex, dramatic, peaceful, unpredictable, the one thing India is not, is boring.
