Everywhere across India's 26 states you will experience the diversity in its language and culture, reflecting over 5000 years of history and evolution. The royal cities, temples and regal palaces present a beautiful backdrop to the countries rapid technological progress. Exotic and inviting, you can live the life of the Maharaja, visiting the royal forts and palaces of the country while wrapping yourself in the luxurious, colourful silks available everywhere.
