Things to Do in India

Visit the Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is a wonder of the world that anyone visiting India has to visit. Some Western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble and its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna River. The Taj stands on a raised, square platform with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon.

Go on the golden triangle
India's Golden Triangle comprises the three most visited cities in the country's north-west - Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, which are all connected to each other by good road and rail links. This triangle has been dubbed "golden" for the extraordinary wealth of cultural and historical splendor on offer in each of the three cities. As history unfolds itself, we find Delhi a city of magnificent kings and princes, men of great culture, learning and refinement who created famous masterpieces like the Qutab Minar, the Diwan-e-Aam and the Pearl Mosque in the Red Fort. No wonder the city's history is synonymous with the history of India. The evidence of this can be marked distinctly as the city is flourished with tombs, forts, monuments, ramparts and ruins where sightseeing is of great pleasure. Jaipur is popularly known as the Pink City and is the capital of the state of Rajasthan. Jaipur is steeped in history and culture where the past comes alive in magnificent forts and palaces, blushed pink, where once lived the Maharajas. The bustling bazaars of Jaipur, famous for Rajasthani jewelry, fabric and shoes, possess a timeless quality and are surely a treasure trove for the shoppers. Visit the city palace, Amer fort and place and the Jal Mahal. Agra of course is famed for its Taj Mahal.

Experience the backwaters
The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range. The landscape is beautiful with a number of towns and cities along the way. The backwaters can be found in Vembanad Kayal, which is one of the largest lakes. It is bordered by Alleppey, Kottayam, and Ernakulam districts.
