India’s vastness is awe-inspiring. Stretching from the snow-capped Himalaya in the north to balmy southern beaches, it connects western neighbors with Southeast Asia. The seas that border this immense republic have served as vital trade routes for millennia, fostering a land of dramatically diverse states, peoples, and cultures.

Evidence of its rich history stretches back an astonishing 80,000 years. The monumental Indus Valley Civilization, flourishing around 2500 BC alongside ancient Egypt, stands as the first urban culture of South Asia. Empires have risen and fallen, leaving their mark on the landscape in the form of astonishing temples that grace the former capitals.

India is a true cradle of civilization. It has birthed a multitude of religions, from the foundational philosophies of Hinduism to practices like Dharma and Yoga. The country boasts scores of languages and dialects, with 22 officially recognized in its constitution.

The mighty Himalaya shield India from the harsh Central Asian winds, creating a land of diverse climates. From the alpine mountains to the tropical southwest, the arid Thar Desert to the subtropical east, India offers a stunning range of ecosystems. Seasonal monsoons nourish the land, transforming the lush countryside into a haven for wildlife. Safaris can bring you face-to-face with magnificent creatures like the Royal Bengal Tiger, the Indian Rhino, and the Indian Elephant.
