India and Indian Ocean

The home of one of the world's oldest civilizations, and several of the world's great religions, India has been changing and re-shaping itself for as long as anywhere on earth, forever producing new forms of culture and absorbing new influences.

Visiting the subcontinent, you'll see Kipling-esque visions of spectacular carved temples and gleaming marble palaces, lonely Himalayan lamaseries and far-flung dusty villages where council meetings are held under the shade of a banyan tree, plodding camels and man-eating tigers, holy cows, snake charmers and wild-haired Sadhus.

The islands in the Indian Ocean are among the most exotic, and beautiful in the world. The Lakshadweep (lKadmat) - are beautiful coral atolls, the Andaman and Nicobar - the emerald Islands, Maldives - a coral paradise, Seychelles with their giant granite boulders and Sri Lanka's elephants and forests, Madagascar's tropical mountains are all different, exotic and exciting.
