About India
Set apart from the rest of Asia by the supreme continental wall of the Himalayas, the Indian subcontinent touches three large bodies of water and is immediately recognizable on any world map. It is the huge, terrestrial beak between Africa and Indonesia. This thick, roughly triangular peninsula defines the Bay of Bengal to the east, the Arabian Sea to the west, and the India Ocean to the south. It is India's vastness that challenges the imagination: the sub-continent, 3200km (2000 miles) from the mountain fastness of the Himalayas in the north to the tropical lushness of Kerala in the south, is home to one sixth of the world's population, a diverse culture and an intoxicatingly rich history. One of the fascinations of India is the juxtaposition of old and new; centuries of history - from the pre-historic Indus civilization to the British Raj.

We would like to invite you to this fascinating land of myriad complexities…
