Land of vibrant colors and natural diversity
India is a colorful destination full of exoticism and diversity. The vibrant capital New Delhi is located inland and is the seat of the government and parliament. The geography of the subcontinent is particularly worth seeing in many respects - in the north, the mighty Himalayan Mountains tower high, in the valley follows the fertile river plain, which flows into the Thar Desert.
One of the most famous landmarks of the north is Agras famous Taj Mahal. In the south tropical jungles, wide beaches, and numerous islands dominate the picture. In India, there are several big rivers, whereby the Ganges is the longest and also most important river of the country. The Ganges has its source in the Himalayas and flows through the entire eastern part of the subcontinent until it joins the second largest river Brahmaputra in the south and flows into the Bay of Bengal in a huge delta.
India impresses with unspoiled nature, a long, traditional history, and colorful metropolises. Thanks to the variety of landscapes, India has an extremely diverse animal world, which can be admired in the many national parks.
