Delhi, the capital of India is the political centre and a tourist delight. Being one of the oldest cities in India, Delhi has a rich culture and history that a tourist unravels while on a quest to discover the city’s heritage.

The most momentous spot here is the India Gate build to commemorate Indian soldiers in wars. This poised structure built from sandstone is a great place to have delicious sidewalk food and take postcard pictures. While the India Gate is representative of New Delhi that is modern and fast growing, the Red Fort-a magnificent palace in the world is representative of Old Delhi. This rich red stone structure has played a crucial role in the Indian history right from the Mughal rule to today where the Prime Minister of India addresses the country every year on the 15th of August.

A multi-faceted city, Delhi presents a glorious intertwining of the contemporary and the old. The very name of Delhi rolls out a picture of a powerful place that ruled many empires, a place where many mighty emperors rose and fell and the place that now governs the largest democracy in the world. Truly metropolitan to the core, Delhi is made of people from all corners of the country. Quite naturally, the city speaks a jumble of some odd vernaculars and has a culture which is a concoction of various elements.

Delhi is home to two different worlds altogether. One is the ancient world that still survives time and the other world is all new that shows the present and the future of the nation. Thanks to the masters who laid the city, Delhi is clearly marked out as Old Delhi and New Delhi. A visit to the older part takes you back in time while its contemporary counterpart talks of everything modern, contemporary and even futuristic.

Long haul vacations have become commonplace today as more of us seek out exotic destinations. There is nothing more fascinating than discovering the hidden wonders India has to offer. It is a country of contrast, with wonderful scenery, top class accommodation and ancient temples. India really offers the best of both worlds, you can visit the amazing sites and experience the tourist culture on offer, and just five minutes down the road you can stumble upon true third world conditions where for some, every day is a struggle to survive. Visiting these parts of India can be very humbling experience, to have the opportunity to see how a hidden majority of the population lives, and even to inspire oneself to take the steps to giving something back to these communities in need.

By far the most attractive tourist destination is the state of Goa in the west. It is a particular favorite amongst the younger generation, having gained a reputation for its beach lifestyle and dance parties. There are several beaches to choose from and the annual carnival is the highlight of the year. This region is a former Portuguese colony and much of the colonial architecture remains. The main religions are Hinduism and Roman Catholicism as is evident by the many breathtaking church and temple tours on offer. While every part of India offers a unique experience, Goa has been rated one of the most popular tourist destinations, offering a world away from the hectic, culture packed cities of India, a chance to relax and unwind, and to make the most of the beautiful weather, beaches, and take full advantage of the tourist comforts on offer.
