About India
India, long considered only a "cultural" destination,
is in addition the ultimate "outdoor" destination as
well, with wide ranging options for adventure.
From
winter-skiing to summer-angling, from scuba diving to
paragliding, from trekking to mountaineering, from white water
rafting to snorkelling … the choice is unlimited and the
opportunities endless.
Be
adventurous - come explore India.
It is impossible not to be
astonished by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present
itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and
religions, races and tongues. Every aspect of the country
presents itself on a massive, exaggerated scale, worthy in
comparison only to the superlative mountains that overshadow it.
Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to
India would be to describe or understand India completely.
Location,
Geography, & Climate
Set apart from
the rest of Asia by the supreme continental wall of the
Himalayas, the Indian subcontinent touches three large bodies of
water and is immediately recognizable on any world map. It is
the huge, terrestrial beak between Africa and Indonesia. This
thick, roughly triangular peninsula defines the Bay of Bengal to
the east, the Arabian sea to the west, and the India Ocean to
the south.
