1 Magnificent Ladakh
2 Ladakh literally the land of many passes is a magical and remote place, and is variously described as the Moonland, Little Tibet and even the last Shangri-la. It is one of the world s last places of Mahayana Buddhism, Ladakh s principal religion for nearly a thousands years. In its early history, Ladakh was a feudal kingdom of federated clans ruled from the capital, Leh, by a line of rulers that claimed descent from the kings of Lhasa in Tibet.
3 Present-day Ladakh is divided into two districts, Leh and Kargil. Leh is inhabited predominantly by Buddhists and is therefore a center of Buddhist culture, although it has a sizable Muslim population. Ladakh has some of the world s largest glaciers outside the polar regions, and a huge lake Pangong Tso that is 150 km long and 4 km wide at a height of 4000 m.
4 Bustling Mumbai(Bombay)
5 Mumbai is the economic powerhouse of the nation, the capital of the Hindi film industry, and the land of opportunity where rags can turn to riches. Mumbai has the world s largest film industry, known as Bollywood after Hollywood.
6 It is also a major port, symbolized by the Gateway of India that was built to commemorate the royal visit of George V and Queen Mary in 1911 although it was completed only in 1924.
7 Ancient Cave Temples at Ajanta & Ellora
8 Cave architecture reached the peak of complexity and design in the magnificent temples at Ajanta and Ellora. The Ajanta caves in western India contain 30 rock temples that were excavated and painted by Buddhist monks between 200 B.C.E and 600 C.E. regarded as among India s finest art treasures, these depict scenes from the Buddha s life and from Buddhist fables. The caves also contain excellent sculptures, including a statue of the Buddha.
9 Ellora, about 65 km from Ajanta, has 34 cave temples carved out of the hillside. Of these only 12 are Buddhist in character and even these incorporate Hindu and Jain themes. The Hindu temples are the most impressive, especially the magnificent Kailash temple, which is nearly twice as tall as the Parthenon.
10 Idyllic Goa
11 Goa forms a narrow strip of land on the west coast of India. Its 105 km coastline is mostly fringed by long sandy beaches, which are a major attraction for tourists from all over the world.
12 The impact of 450 years of Portuguese rule (from 1510 to 1961) is evident throughout this state. Panaji, the capital, and surrounding towns such as Margoa boast a number of splendid Christian churches built by the Portuguese. Goan cuisine is famous for its blend of Portuguese and Indian traditions.
13 Colorful Kerala
14 Kerala, the smallest state of southern India, was open to a number of outside influences in its long history: first from the Arabs, then the Chinese, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British.
15 It is one of India s most beautiful states with an endless patchwork of lush, green paddy fields, high plantations of pepper and rubber, and palm-fringed beaches and waterways. Kerala is also known as India s festive land.
16 The Former Kingdom of Mysore (Karnataka)
17 Karnataka, formerly the kingdom of Mysore, has a fine balance of natural attractions and historic architecture. To the north are impressive relics of a Muslim past, and, to the south are the magnificent relics of the ancient city of Vijayanagara.
18 The state s well-preserved religious architecture includes the superbly crafted Hoysala and Chalukya temples dating back to the 6th century, and the 10th century Jain sculpture at Sravanabelagola.
19 Courtly Hyderabad: The Capital of Andhra Pradesh
20 An important center of Islamic culture, Hyderabad is central India s counterpart to the Mughal splendor of the north. The twin city of Hyderabad-Secunderabad, the capital of Andhara Pradesh, combines Hindu and Islamic influences. Almost half its population is Muslim and it is unique among the southern cities in that Urdu is the major spoken language.
21 Madras (Chennai)
22 Chennai, formerly Madras, the capital of Tamilnadu, is the fourth largest city in India. Situated on the east coast of India, Chennai has been a historical destination for sea-farers, spice traders and cloth merchants.
23 The cultural identity of this region has been shaped by the Dravidians, who were the original inhabitants since at least the 4th millennium B.C.E., and who were probably displaced from the north by the Aryans. Tamil, India s oldest living language, is over 2000 years old and boasts a literary tradition dating back to before the birth of Christ.
24 Fascinating Gujarat
25 Gujarat, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, has preserved a rich complex of Jain and Hindu monuments. The cultural capital of Gujarat, Ahmedabad, retains excellent examples of Gujarati provincial architecture. Gujarat is one of India s wealthier states, with a number of important industries. It is the former home of a surprisingly large proportion of Indian emigrants, particularly to the UK and USA.
26 Orissa : The Picturesque Land of Temples
27 Orissa s main attractions are the temples of Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konarak, making up the tourist triangle of Orissa, and which draw pilgrims in their millions from across India. Inland Orissa s beautiful hills are home to tribal populations and are one of the most densely forested regions in India.
28 Colonial Calcutta (Kolkata)
29 Calcutta is considered India s intellectual and cultural capital. Rabindranath Tagore, world-famous poet, writer, and India s first Nobel laureate, lived here. Calcutta is the second largest city in India, with a population of 14 million. The politics of the city is dominated by the Communists who have been democratically elected to govern the state of West Bengal for three successive decades.
30 Exotic Sikkim
31 For the people of Sikkim, the Kanchenjunga, or the Five Treasures of Eternal Snow, is more than the third highest peak in the world; it is the red-robed god who comes riding a snow-white lion to vanquish the forces of evil. Buddhism is a tangible presence in the state and its symbols are seen everywhere.
