India is not just a country; it is a vast Asian subcontinent and is home to over 1billion people. India is a melting pot of culture, religion and nature with everything here from tigers to Buddhist temples to exquisite curries. India’s economy is growing at a fantastic rate, prompting a lot of business travellers to visit India, particularly Mumbai and the capital, Delhi. India is an infamous backpacking destination with tourists visiting the entire country, particularly the popular beaches of Goa and Kerala in the south, the cosmopolitan city of Mumbai, the Golden Triangle Tour in the north (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) and the Himalayan foothills. Sights to see in India include Palolem Beach (Goa), The Gateway of India (Mumbai), The Taj Mahal (Agra) and the Golden Temple (Amritsar). India has more than 20 international airports including Mumbai, Delhi and Thiruvananthapuram. From India, excursions can be made to the neighbouring countries of Sri Lanka and Nepal.
