"India is a country that, once visited, won't let
you go unless you get addicted to it." - Steve Davy

lives, once they have set foot on the Indian soil. Travel Horizon India

Visited Cities
Each city of India is popular for its distinctive charm. Whichever city you choose to explore, you’ll discover an altogether different aspect of India. From the very picturesque to the very mystique and from the very historical to the very modern, there is a lot to see and experience.
Agra
Who
leaves India without visiting the Taj? Perhaps, none. The seat of power for
three generations of one of the most dynamic dynasties of the medieval era –
the Mughal Empire - Agra occupies a position on the right bank of River
Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh. Soak up the beauty of the Mughal buildings
including the Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort, the Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb and
head straight to Fatehpur Sikri (37 km from Agra) to witness a few more
magnificent structures of the Mughal era. But, in any case, don’t miss
shopping in Agra.
Varanasi
Looking
older than history, Varanasi presents India in its purest form. It is
situated on the western banks of the Ganges in the state of Uttar Pradesh. A
dawn boat ride along the divine Ganges can bring you some of the most
surreal scenes – devotees bathing, meditating, offering prayers, and
performing rituals to greet the Sun God. One of the oldest living cities in
the world, Varanasi offers to see attractions including Kashi Vishwanath
Temple, Durga Temple, Bharat Mata Temple and Banaras Hindu University among
others. Sarnath, an important Buddhist centre, is just 11 km from here.
Delhi
India’s
epicentre of power, the capital city of Delhi offers too many delights, not
apparent at once. Don’t be confused with your first impression of the
city – a crowded and confused panorama. It’s behind this madcap
facade that the actual historical and cultural charm of Delhi lies. Discover
the medieval charm that the narrow streets of the city capture even today.
Visit some of the finest Mughal buildings like the Red Fort, Old Fort,
Humayun’s Tomb and the Jama Masjid. Do remember to see modern day
wonders like the Akshardham Temple and the Lotus Temple. There is a lot more
for you to see and experience.
Jaipur
Located
259 km southwest of Delhi, Jaipur has the eminence of being the capital city
of Rajasthan. The city was founded in 1727 by King Sawai Jai Singh, after
whom it is named. The romantic nickname the ‘Pink City’ is not new
to foreign tourists who arrive here to visit such famous attractions as the
Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Amber Fort and the Jantar Mantar Observatory. Apart
from that, the handicraft-laden city markets invite travellers all the more.
Blue pottery, kundan jewellery, tie-and-dye fabrics, handcrafted footwear,
handmade paper and miniature elephants, horses and camel are a few items you
can never afford to miss.
Srinagar
Situated
in the western part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar happens to
be the summer capital of the state. Whether you are looking for exclusive
handicrafts or are in search of some romantic spots, Srinagar can rightly
serve you the purpose. Known for Kashmiri handicrafts, Srinagar mostly
attracts travellers for a soothing shikara ride along the lily-covered Dal
Lake. The next big attraction is the bunch of Mughal gardens – Shalimar
Bagh, Nishat Bagh and Chashmashahi. The Shankaracharya Temple is also a must
visit for all.
Khajuraho
The
one-time capital of the Chandela Dynasty, Khajuraho is located in the state
of Madhya Pradesh. It has been declared as a World Heritage Site. This small
town of the 9th century is visited for its erotic temples redolent with
explicit images and sculptures. Being in a state of oblivion for long, the
temples of Khajuraho were discovered by the British engineer T.S.Burt. The
temples have been classified into three groups – the eastern, the
western and the southern; the largest of all is the western group of
temples. Today, Khajuraho has come up with a number of shops, hotels and
restaurants to invite and accommodate its visitors.
