6/23

surroundings, the architectural masterpieces,

the music, dance, paintings, customs and

languages all these go to make India as

tourist paradise.

In ancient India, there were no travel

formalities for travelling in the period of

Chandragupta - II, and that time the famous

Chinese pilgrim Fa Hien travelled between

A.D. 401 and 410 without a passport. But in

the 3rd century B.C. a passport or mudra was

essential, according to 27

Kautilyas Arthashastra, for all travelers.

During the Vedic period, the tourists were

accommodated at dhams or holy place of

the country. There was a remarkable increase

in the traveler coming to India, as a result of

- de - Gama. When Alexander the Great

reached in India, he found well maintained

roads lined with trees and wells, and rest

houses. Along with the royal highway whichis 1920 km long and 19 meters wide, men

travelled in Chariots, palanquins, bullock-

carts, on donkeys, horses, camels and

elephants.

During the British period, tourism in India

becomes more organized. They built Dak

Bungalows on the road side for the

convenience of dak traveler. The finest of

Indias cuisines is as rich and diverse as its

civilization. In Sanskrit literature the threefamous words Aththi Devo Bhava means

the 19th century to document the wealth of
