Delhi The capital of India is full of historical landmarks

The chief attraction of Old Delhi is the Red Fort that contains within it opulent palaces and impressive public buildings. Nearby is the magnificent Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India. In New Delhi you can also find the India Gate -- a war memorial arch, the impressive Parliament Building and the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the official residence of the President of India. Towards the South can be found the Qutab Minar and Humayun's Tomb, both World Heritage Sites.

Haridwar One of the seven holy cities for the devout Hindus

Ancient Haridwar is one of the seven holiest places in India, and one of the oldest living cities. It's made up of a fascinating and colorful collection of sadhus (holy men), pundits(Hindu priests), pilgrims, guides, and beggars. Every evening, the Ganges comes alive with the magic of the aarti (worship with fire), as lamps are lit, prayers are offered, and small candles are floated down the river. For Hindus, a visit to Haridwar is believed to provide liberation from the endless cycle of death and rebirth.

Rishikesh A holy city on the Ganges made famous by the Beatles in the 60s

Rishikesh is a popular place to come and meditate, do yoga, and learn about other aspects of Hinduism. It's situated on the banks of the Ganges River, surrounded by hills on three sides, not far from Haridwar. Rishikesh lures those seeking knowledge and peace with its numerous temples, ashrams, and yoga institutes. The town's lanes and alleys retain a old-world charm, and it remains a wonderful place to relax and unwind amongst nature.

Corbett The `Man Eaters of Kumaon'

Corbett National Park was India's first national park and remains one of its finest. It is named after the legendary hunter Jim Corbett who lived in this area for many years and wrote the book `The Man Eaters of Kumaon'. Extending over a tract of 520 sq. km., the sanctuary is endowed with breathtaking natural beauty and an abundance of wildlife including tigers and elephants. The birdlife is especially impressive with over 500 species.

Unchagaon Site of an impressive early 18th century fort

Unchagaon is a small village off the Delhi-Moradabad highway. The narrow road that leads to it is covered with lush greenery on either side. The river Ganges flows calmly near the village and is famous for its dolphin sightings. Unchagaon's claim to fame is its impressive early 18th century fort. The place is so hidden that the fort is not easily visible unless you are standing right in front of the entrance.

Agra City of the Taj Mahal

Agra is home to possibly the most famous and beautiful building in the world: the Taj Mahal, built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb and memorial for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Along the river Yamuna is the impressive Red Fort from where there are fantastic views of the Taj. The Red Fort was the capital of the Moghul Empire and thus of India during the 16th and 17th centuries.

Bharatpur The finest bird sanctuary in India

Bharatpur is famous for it's bird sanctuary called Keoladeo Ghana National Park. A network of paths, trails and lagoons, this is the home of hundreds of species of birds. In the winter months from October to March the resident population of birds is enhanced by many species of migratory birds. Bharatpur is a beautiful and peaceful place, enjoyable even for non ornithologists, as motorised vehicles are not allowed, and it is well worth stopping off here for a visit. To visit the Bird Sanctuary, at the entrance gate you can choose between several different methods to tour the park. Most visitors hire cycle rickshaws at a fixed hourly rate, as the drivers are all specially trained Naturalists with a great knowledge of the birdlife. Bicycles are also available for hire. You can also simply walk on the various smaller trails. At times when there is enough water, you may also be able to take a row boat ride, which helps you to get very close to the aquatic birds and their nesting colonies.

Jaipur The Pink City

Jaipur is one of the most interesting cities in India with exuberant 18th and 19th century palaces and an exotic street life. Just outside town is the impressive Amber Fort. It is worthwhile spending any leisure time wandering through the bazaars. Jaipur is well known for its beautiful carpets, enameled ornaments, precious and semi-precious stones, brass ornaments and many other arts and crafts.

Neemrana A magnificent fort palace hotel

Neemrana is a small village two hours drive south of Delhi. Just above the village is the beautiful Neemrana Fort Palace. Built in the 15th century, it was abandoned by its raja in 1947 and slowly fell into ruins. In the 1980s, Neemrana was `discovered' by Aman Nath and Francis Wacziarg, and they have since restored it, using mainly the local village craftsmen. Today Neemrana Palace is one of the most elegant heritage hotels.
