India makes a strong claim to be the most exciting and rewarding travel destination in the world. From the exhilarating pace of life in its colourful and vibrant cities to its exquisite temples and superb scenery, few visitors ever leave disappointed.

Among all these natural treasures is a wealth of architectural gems, from serene temples rising out of pancake-flat plains to crumbling forts peering over plunging ravines.
Indian cuisine is a delicious hodgepodge of regional specialities, each with its own traditional preparation techniques and presentation – from carefully marinated meats and competing flavours of talis (plate meals) to simple vegetarian curries and deep sea delicacies. Spices are at the heart of Indian cooking, and the country is also known for its tempting street food, with vendors selling everything from spicy samosas and kebabs to chilled kulfi (ice cream) and lassi (yogurt drinks).
