India has a rich history and the
palaces, temples and great cities of its ancient cultures cannot fail to
grip the imagination. In the spring particularly, the big cities come
alive with concerts, plays, parties and exhibitions. Among the most
spectacular hill stations (mountain resorts which make ideal
destinations in summer) are Shimla (once the Imperial summer capital),
Mussoorie, Ranikhet and Nainital (within reach of Delhi), and West
Bengal's magnificent resort, Darjeeling, which offers a breathtaking
view of the whole Kanchenjunga range. Along the fabled coasts of Malabar
and Coromandel, unspoiled sandy beaches stretch for miles. Skiing is
possible in the silent snowbound heights of Gulmarg and Kufri in the
Himalayas. |
