Erco’s guided tourists who have visited India vouch that this is a country that needs to be visited to experience what it has to offer. And to enjoy this experience one needs to see with heart and feel with soul. Why this mystique Erco guides often wonders but have not been able to find an answer. Despite the chaos, the unexplainable hubbub of scores of vehicles, people and animals on streets; it is still a country that just grows on you to such an extent that the beauty, the humility and warmth just seeps in the soul of the visitor and little things touches the heart. This is what makes India truly incredible. What add to this is the insurmountable natural beauty, cultural and historic heritage and religious sanctity that is attached with almost most of country’s destinations. This combination is so heady that it not just offers something to almost everyone, but also captivates and mesmerises the visitor. Some of the highlights of the country as identified by the Erco professionals are as follows: Natural diversity: From white and inviting beaches, to majestic mountains including the highest mountain range, to the incomparable beauty of miles of lazily stretched sand-dunes and difficult to forget green wilderness teeming the wild life of different kinds are just some of the attractions of country’s natural bouquet. When one moves from north to the south of the country, there is a drastic difference in natural beauty. The central India, snuggled in between has a lot to offer in its ravines and plateaus, where as the southern India has some of the most ravishing beaches, dense forests and cosy hill stations. Civilisation and history: India is a country whose current is rooted in its past. Country’s history can be still traced back to 5000 years ago with Indus valley civilization and even later when the Dravidians flourished. As pastoral life evolved, riverine and inland trade was established, a social hierarchy emerged, language, philosophy developed and this is time when India got its Vedas, Upanishads Ramayana and Mahabharata. This period was followed by the era of Great empires like Maurya, Guptas and Mughals that gave country its rich history and the strides made in governance, conservation, literature, art and culture. Religion and beliefs: The most visible aspect in Indian life is religion. Here too diversity rules and it is this diversity that gives the country its renowned and major tourist’s attractions in the form of temples, monasteries, gurudwaras etc. that represent what Indians are-a unified diversity. What else can explain the existence of about 80 percent Hindus with, about 10 per cent Muslims and 5 per cent Christian and Sikh, Parsees, Buddhist, Jains, and other small communities that complete this number. Art and culture: Each state of India has its own specialities either in the form of cuisine, handicraft, textile or various forms of art and crafts. From the soft and warm pashmina shawls with intricate embroidery to the handicraft of western India, or the bamboo and cane specialities of east and long-lasting silk of south; if one starts listing it all down, it will not take less than a day. With the country so much to offer, it is no wonder that the tourist throng to the country in hordes.
