Why India?
India is a country by name, but a continent by size. India in one word is diversity. India is vibrant and fascinating. It is a country full of contrasts and surprises. It is a place where rich culture, ancient traditions and breathtaking landscapes go hand in hand with the chaos of everyday life. In India you will find delicious food, warm people and a rich cultural heritage.
At Heart of India Travel we understand that a first trip to India can be daunting, with images of crowds of people, unsafety or even poverty coming to mind. But these images are only a small part of the story.
