India is a fabulous country.
India is a land of magic and mystery, dazzling beauty and exotic charm; a country where centuries converge, and modernity intertwines with antiquity;
a country where hospitality is a tradition and development is the goal of life!
Beauty that defies description and comparison.
The civilization is as old as history itself.
India is an iridescent mosaic of peoples, different religions and cultures, lush vegetation and deserts, rivers and mountains, modernity and centuries-old traditions.
The first trip to India is like being born again in an unfamiliar environment and again starting to learn new rules of life and get to know the world around you. The good thing about India is that it is endless, you can absorb it endlessly from your first trip to your last breath. She accepts and dissolves in herself everything that comes from the outside, changes people and cultures to suit her energy and rhythms, and at the same time she herself remains unchanged.
India is always unexpected, it is impossible to prepare for it, no matter what we hear about it - reality anticipates all stories.
India is a magical country! Wishes come true in India! The ones you wished for at sunset and the ones you asked for in the Shiva temple. And even, perhaps, those that you wished for just like that, for example, accidentally biting off the tail of the hottest pepper, mistaking it for a pea pod!
Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true!
So, our journey began. Descending from the plane, we find ourselves in the capital of India -Delhi, one of the largest and most colorful cities in the world, combining the splendor of temples.
We will visit the stunningly large, magnificent Akshardham temple complex.
VRINDAVAN- the place where he spentKrishna's early years City of Five Thousand temples. Not everyone can get here. Vrindavan is the highest planet in the spiritual world, it is considered the highest because it is here that Sri Radha and Krishna, the original source of all other incarnations, all aspects of the Absolute Truth, eternally perform the most confidential lila. In Vrindavan everything is conscious. Krishna fulfills desires, gives every being in Vrindavan the unlimited ability to understand why we came to this earth.
You and I will make a pilgrimage - Parikrama - this is when you go around some holy place, expressing respect to this land.
It's important to understand that a pilgrimage is not an excursion. We are not the ones who inspect the temples and Deities. THEY ARE THE GODS EXAMINING US!!! Vrindavan cannot be understood with the mind! You just need to believe in Vrindavan!!!
Parikrama brings great benefit to a person by falling into a wonderful fairy tale with fabulous heroes Radha and Krishna. After all, the most important thing is Love, and true Love cannot be learned from books or by performing any rituals. Only a living soul, filled to the brim with this innermost feeling, is able to convey the whole essence, and if there is dirt in our heart, we notice it on the outside.
The scriptures say that the land of Vrindavan is sacred and by walking on it with bare feet, we are cleansed of many sins.
AGRA- the capital of the Mughal Empire and the pearl of India. Many real “wonders of the world” are concentrated here - the famous white marble mausoleum of the Taj Mahal.
Jaipur
The beautiful city of Jaipur is the capital of the state of Rajasthan. "Pink City"
It received this name due to the abundant use of pink stone in architecture.
Jaipur is famous all over the world for its colorful fabrics, jewelry, precious stones and gems.
“India keeps many amazing secrets and mysteries. Five thousand years ago, the greatest sage in the universe composed " The Book of Life" which describes the destinies of all living on Earth or only those who can benefit the Earth.
In the desert of Rajasthan, in a special repository there is the “Book of Life”; these sacred records have survived to this day in the most abandoned and inaccessible areas. If your time has come, the universe will open for you, and you will be able to find in the common storage the piece of paper on which your individual destiny is written.
Our journey will end in Sariska Tiger Reserve located in the DistrictAlwara. Although there are not many tigers left in the region, the reserve continues to attract tourists. Along with other big cat species such as leopards and jungle cats, the Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary is home to other wildlife including striped hyena, golden jackal, four-horned antelope, wild boar, deer, monkeys, birds and reptiles.
Throughout our journey you will learn what the purpose of a woman and a man is. What should you do in life or what should you devote yourself to? Educational lectures, yoga classes, as well as spiritual practices and rituals

India is a fabulous country...
The culture of India was composed of different eras of history, customs, traditions and ideas, both invaders and immigrants. Many cultural customs, languages and monuments are cited as examples of such mixing over the centuries.
Sights of India.
India Gate. The India Gate is a famous landmark in New Delhi; it is an arch whose construction was completed in 1931. India Gate is dedicated to the soldiers who died during the First World War. Walking around the arch, you can see many names of fallen soldiers carved on stone blocks. The arch is built from golden-colored basalt; it changes color under different lighting conditions. At night, the arch is illuminated, and together with the nearby fountains, a beautiful architectural ensemble is created.
At the foot of the India Gate, the Eternal Flame burns, and nearby is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which was created in 1971 after the end of the Third War between India and Pakistan. Next to the arch there is a park where locals and tourists come to relax.
Museum of India. The Museum of India, or Indian Museum, is one of the oldest museums on earth. It was discovered near Calcutta in 1814 on the initiative of biologist Nathaniel Wellisch. Since its founding, the museum has housed many historical, biological and mineralogical collections.
Taj Mahal. This is a mosque-mausoleum located in India, near the Jumna River, built in the mid-17th century. The Taj Mahal is also called the wonder of the world of India. The Taj Mahal is known throughout the world as the best example of Mughal style architecture. The most famous element of this architectural masterpiece is the white marble dome.
Victoria Memorial.
The Victoria Memorial is one of the landmarks of Kolkata. It was built in the early 20th century in honor of Queen Victoria and officially opened in 1921. This is a real palace in the British style, a snow-white building that amazes with its restrained beauty. The memorial was built in marble and decorated with many images of Queen Victoria. There are beautiful gardens around the memorial.
Bondla Nature Reserve.
Bondla Nature Reserve is essentially a large zoo; its area does not exceed 8 sq. km. However, this is a very interesting place to visit, where you can get acquainted with the flora and fauna of this part of India. The reserve is located 55 km from the capital of Goa, Panjim.
Sun Temple in Konark.
The Sun Temple in Konark was previously called the Black Pagoda by Europeans. It is considered the crowning achievement of Orissa's architecture and a masterpiece of global significance. The temple was built in the 13th century, when King Nanarasimha reigned. Initially, it stood on the seashore, but over seven centuries it retreated almost three km.

India is a fairy tale country, a mystery country, a magnet country, the cradle of civilization and humanity.
In all centuries, India has attracted travelers with its bright colors and flavor of life, history and various architectural monuments of past centuries.
So it beckoned us so much that we had to make an incredibly difficult and vibrant journey through its vast expanses.
We visited many cities, villages, countless palaces, temples, tombs, fortresses, museums, and also swam and sunbathed in Goa.
There is a country on earth - an eternal mystery!
And just the desire to understand it is not enough.
There are miracles, there is reality, there is a fairy tale,
It can only be accepted sincerely!
Everything there is harmonious, deep and dignified,
There is inspiration of life in every stone and flower!
You feel cozy and calm there,
And there is no place for sadness and longing!
I found this beautiful poem about India. Of course, you can’t agree with every line of his.
Not in all corners of the vast country you feel comfortable and calm.
And the words “there is no place for sadness and melancholy” are completely wrong.
India has the largest number of illiterate people, more than half of them.
India is a monstrously dirty country. You can see heaps of garbage all around.
In India They live in very poor conditions, children go hungry and beg.
The rivers are polluted and this causes many diseases...
The country faces a huge number of problems. Let's wish her success in this.
Tourism is an important sector of the Indian economy.
Every year more and more foreign tourists visit India.
Indians are positive, sociable and smiling people.
They sincerely know how to enjoy the sun, people, nature and a piece of ordinary bread.
There are more than enough exotics there.
Indians enjoy taking pictures.
I would like to give some advice. Bring a pack of shoe covers from home, as well as warm socks. You are not allowed to enter the temples wearing shoes.
The most important law is not to drink tap water. Even brushing your teeth is better with drinking water.
Also be sure to bring several rolls of toilet paper with you. In India it is only in hotels. You won’t see it in other, even the most visited places.
Before you climb on an elephant, a camel or somewhere else, discuss the exact price; when paying at the end of the voyage, be adamant, no matter how the owners of the exotic transport whine.
India can be compared to a coin that has lain in the ground for a long time. And it’s up to you whether you see dirt on it or gold behind the dirt. We saw gold!
Overflowing with impressions! I need to come to my senses a little before starting the stories.
And I think the stories should start with monkeys. After all, they are the symbol of this year.
All photographs are our own.
Business card Country area: 3 million 288 thousand km 2 Population: 1 billion 10 million people Capital: Delhi Form of government: republic ATU: federation India is one of the oldest states in the world. In the past it was a colony of Great Britain, after the Second World War it achieved independence.
Economic-geographical position It is separated from China by the mountainous country of the Himalayas. Along the foothills of the Himalayas, the great river Ganges flows through the lowlands. It is considered the sacred river of India. With the discovery of sea routes to India by Europeans, the era of great geographical discoveries began. India passes through the world's maritime trade routes from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean, and is also located halfway between the Middle and Far East.
Population India ranks second in population in the world, after China. Scientists count about 1.6 thousand dialects here. The official language is Hindi (the language of Hindustani, the largest Indian nation) and English. Bilingualism is widespread. The distribution of India's population is uneven.
Population The most densely populated areas are the fertile lowlands, plains in valleys and river deltas, and the sea coast. The level of urbanization (urban growth) in India is relatively low (30 – 40%). Major cities in India: Delhi, Kolkata, Bompey, Chennai. The majority of the population lives in villages (there are more than 600 thousand), large and crowded. Almost ¼ of Indians live below the official poverty level.
Religion Hindus, Muslims 80% of the population are Hindus, Muslims constitute the largest religious minority - 11%, Sikhs - Buddhists 2.2% - Sikhs, Buddhists only 0.7%, most of whom converted to Buddhism quite recently. India is a secular state and any discrimination on religious grounds is punishable by law.
Industry The chemical industry focuses on the production of mineral fertilizers. Pharmaceuticals are developing. India is the world's chromium exporter. It occupies a leading place in reserves of graphite, beryl, thorium, zirconium, and second place in the world in titanium mining. Light industry is a traditional sector of the Indian economy, especially cotton and jute. The food industry produces goods for both domestic consumption and export. India ranks first in the world in tea exports.
Agriculture of India The leading branch of agriculture in India is crop production. In India they grow: grain crops: rice, wheat, corn, millet. The main industrial crops are cotton, jute, tea, sugar cane, tobacco, oilseeds (peanuts, rapeseed, etc.). Coconut palms, bananas, pineapples, mangoes, citrus fruits, herbs and spices are also grown.
Livestock Livestock farming is the second most important agricultural sector in India, far behind crop production. India ranks first in the world in the number of cattle and one of the last in the consumption of meat products, since the religious views of Hinduism support vegetarianism and prohibit eating beef and killing cows (in ancient India they were a symbol of fertility and prosperity). In coastal areas, fishing is of great importance.
Aviation, road, sea and river transport are also developed. Indian car "Tata Nano" An-32. Indian Air Force Indian warship "Tabar"
Indian cuisine is characterized by a wide variety of regional styles and sophisticated use of kitchen roots, herbs and seasonings. The main food products in the regions are rice and wheat. The most famous seasoning, originally originating from the Indian subcontinent and now consumed throughout the world, is black pepper.
India in all respects can be considered one of the most interesting countries for travel. Almost all of us in childhood read “The Jungle Book”, written by R. Kipling, so many have formed their own image of India - fabulous and beautiful.
Of course, real life in this country is far from what is described in the book, however, the image created in a child’s imagination is so strong that it cannot be dispelled even after the hundredth visit to India. Holidays in India
As a rule, to the question “is it worth purchasing tours to India?” - most tourists will answer in the affirmative. And as soon as they are given such an opportunity, they happily go to the land of their childhood dreams. Moreover, it is rare that anyone who has visited India does not dream of going there again. Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Mumbai, Bombay - as a rule, these destinations are very popular.
Thus, Jaipur is the capital of the largest Indian state by area. This city is both a large modern metropolis and an ancient city that carefully preserves its history. The best way to explore local attractions is to walk along the ancient streets. In addition, Jaipur is a major shopping center, so many people come to this city for shopping purposes. Here you can buy unique jewelry with stones, colorful fabrics, ceramics and, of course, the famous Indian tea.
Holidays in Goa
It must be said that most tourists begin to get acquainted with India from its most “non-Indian” state - Goa. This part of the country was once a Portuguese colony, so local traditions, architecture and even language have significant differences from the rest of the territory, which was a British colony. Today, tours to Goa are extremely popular, thanks to the picturesque nature of the island, magnificent beaches and the special atmosphere of friendliness and freedom that reigns in local resorts.
Conventionally, the resort area is divided into two parts. In the north of the state there are concentrated respectable hotels where respectable guests stay. The southern part is more democratic, there are many inexpensive bars and restaurants. In addition, there are special beaches where those who come to relax as “savages” can pitch tents. As a rule, youth groups prefer vacations in the south of the state. It is customary here to have fun until the morning at discos and various parties.
