things to do and discover in India for your kind perusal.

Recognized abodes of Royal Predators

Tourists visiting India with the purpose of wildlife sightseeing are mostly beguiled by tiger

reserves that are governed by ‘Project Tiger’ and are 42 in number. Most of these reserved

were the hunting grounds of erstwhile Indian maharajas. However, they were later converted

into national parks for the protection of wildlife species especially tigers. Some prominent

names for wildlife tours in India are Ranthambore National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park

and Kanha National Park.

Yoga and Meditation

The concept of Yoga and meditation is mentioned in Vedas, Upanishads and ancient scriptures.

However, it was simplified and compiled by an ancient Indian sage Patanjali in the name of

Ashtanga Yoga. Over the course of time, this ancient Indian knowledge was spread of in the

western hemisphere and resulted in the influx of foreign tourists to learn and gain from its

advantages. Rishikesh in Uttarakhand is regarded as the best for Yoga tours in India.

Ayurveda- The Indian Medical Science

Alike Yoga and meditation, Ayurveda too traces its roots from the ancient Indian civilization and

has earned worldwide recognition. This ancient art of healing has been extensively explained in

the Yajura Veda which prioritizes the good health over other social concerns. Prominent

hospitality chains in this country have sensed the need and popularity of Ayurveda among

foreign tourists. Therefore nearly every luxury hotel today offers the facility of Ayurveda spa to

provide holistic wellness to the guests. Ananda in the Himalayas is the best place to visit during

Ayurveda tours in India.

Kerala Backwaters

Talking about south India tours and the name of Kerala is always on the priority list. One of the

must do things in Kerala is sailing through the palm fringed backwaters on board Kettuvallams.

It is truly a journey of a life as you get to experience local food, culture and exotic flora and

fauna.

India can be rightly called the ‘Land of Diverse Faiths’. Religion in this country has not only

originated but has also arrived from far eastern and western countries. This has created an

exciting medley and harmony hardly seen anywhere else. The best part is that every religion is

venerated by another one. You may find several Hindu pilgrims arriving in Ajmer Shariff.

excitement. India, especially in the Himalayas, immense opportunities are available in terms of

spot for beach tourism is Goa. While Anjuna and Baga are widely acknowledged as the party
