Do you like travelling?

No I am not asking you but this used to be the first question of my very close friend, Nandini. She never gives it a second thought to ask this question to anyone just to break the ice irrespective of her situations and timings.

Finally, she has found her special one and the next month, she will marry the man of her dreams. But I still remember the time when we all were searching for a suitable match for her. This was the time when we used to fix date for her and as per Indian customs of dating one of us used to accompany her. 

Now, it was my turn to accompany my best friend after all her sisters including all her second cousins were done with their part. I was more excited than my friend (would be bride) and on the other hand my friend was least interested in seeing this Punjabi boy (now her fiancé). She was fed up of constant rejections which she was facing from last six months. With the help of my good power of persuasion, I convinced her and took her along with me to meet this decent looking boy.

We reached and settled downed and just like another modern day youngster, we all formally introduced ourselves to each other. To break that awkward silence and to bring some smile on the face of my best friend I asked the boy-

“Do you like travelling?” and I received the most unexpected answer from him.
“I was about to ask you the same.”

After that, my friend who loves travelling joined us and I become the odd one out as I am not very fond off travelling.

They both started their travel catalogue with Goa - the most famous places to visit in India (especially if you love to party hard) and ended up by discussing all major tourist destinations of India which included Vaishno Devi in J&K – it becomes a must visit pilgrimage site for you if you are a firm believer of Hinduism, Dalhousie & Khajiaar in Himachal: the mini Switzerland of India and one of the must visit hill station of India, Nainital – One of the 64 Shakti Peethas resides here in the form of Naini – Taal, Kolkata - home city of oldest tram system, Bombay - the financial capital and Bangalore - the IT capital of India. A visit to Pune and Aurangabad can be very useful to you if you love visiting Historic places as the Ajanta Ellora Caves are situated here only.
And this discussion came to an end with Kanyakumari, the place where Arab Sea and Bay of Bengal meets with Indian Ocean. 

Agar Firdous Baroye Zameen Ast, Hami Asto, Hami Asto Hami Ast –Visiting India Is A Priceless Experience.

India is just beautiful, and those who understand and look for natural beauty will always cherish time spend in the country. One can experience all seasons while travelling in the country along with a twist of cultures in each state. India is further divided into five different zones – north, south, east, west and central. Each and every zone is a sure delight for tourists as they never get bored of the diverse culture of the Indian cities. And, that is the reason why it’s just not INDIA it’s INCREDIBLE INDIA.

INCREDIBLE INDIA

The North Zone-The Taj zone with madness of Punjab and Beauty of Kashmir

A visit to North India would be incomplete without visiting one of the wonders of the world, Taj Mahal. Situated in Agra, this place can be easily accessed from the main city of Delhi. Apart from that, Delhi is also a place for shopaholics as there are ancient markets here that sell almost everything from a pin to plane. Just near Delhi, one can visit Punjab, which is home to some of the loveliest Gurudwaras in the world. Dominated by Sikhs, this is the wealthiest state in the country. Jammu & Kashmir at the north most tip of the country is filled with natural beauty. This, along with Shimla is one of the most sought after honeymoon destinations.

The West Zone- Get Foodie with Gujarat and experience the enriching culture

Travelling further west of the nation, one comes across Gujarat, one of the most developed states of the country. This is a place where it is hard to find liquor and non-vegetarian shops as it is the birthplace of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. While in Gujarat, it is worth visiting Sabarmati Ashram for its tranquillity. Animal lovers must visit the Gir National Park.

The Central Zone- Get centralized with spirituality in Central zone. 

Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh are two of the commonly visited places in Central India. Maharashtra, more specifically is a must-see place as it houses the famous Gateway of India in Mumbai. The famous Siddhi Vinayak and Mahalakshmi temples too are worth visiting while in Mumbai.

The East Zone- Inspiring Tribal culture in East zone.

This is the place to visit if one is interested in rural and tribal culture. The north eastern part of India is heavily dominated by tribal people; therefore one can get the authentic feel of tribal culture here. West Bengal is the place to visit during the times of Durga Puja, as the whole city is in a celebratory mood.

The South Zone – Beaches, temples and beauty in the life of south zone.

The temples of Tamil Nadu, the backwaters and boathouses of Kerala, Balaji temple at Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh and the reservoirs of Karnataka are some of the major spots in the South Zone. Though there are many more attractions in these states, these are the major crowd pulling spots and a visit to these is sure to make the tourists content during their trip to the South Zone.

Its difficult to describe beauty of India as "Agar firdous baroye zameen ast, hami asto, hami asto hami ast" - Amir-e-Khusru Dehluvi (If there is paradise on earth, It is here, it is here, it is here), we can say this for the whole India.
