India provides tourists with one of the most unique travel experiences in the world.  Here are 5 of the most popular destinations in the country:

New Delhi

New Delhi is a melting pot of many different cultures from many regions of India. Those cultures have come together to form an amazing city with some of the greatest architecture known to man.  You can experience a little bit of everything India has to offer in this city including historical monuments, unique shopping opportunities, delicious cuisines, and more!

Mumbai

Mumbai is the largest city in India and is one of the most unique cities in the world.  While on the surface it looks like an average city, it’s actually much more than that.  The city is not only the home to India’s biggest film and fashion companies but it also has the largest tropical forest in any urban zone. In addition, safari tours are available at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park just outside of the city.

Agra

Agra is home to one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal.  There is some concern that the structure may be deteriorating and it would be wise to visit this city sooner rather than later before the temple deteriorates even further.  In addition to the Taj Mahal, the city sits on a bend of the beautiful holy Yamuna River which offers tourists some exceptional views.

Sri Lanka

While Sri Lanka is a separate country from India, it is one of the first stops tourists like to make prior to traveling to India.  It’s actually considered a great location to visit in order to acclimate to the unique travel experience that India has to offer.  Just like the major cities in India, the country offers amazing architecture, unique dining experiences, breath-taking safaris, and more!

Jaipur

Jaipur is a popular destination for tourists because of the Amber Fort and The Royal Observatory of Jaipur.  The Amber Fort is a magnificent royal palace with four main sections and a courtyard.  It’s a 10-minute walk to the palace from any main roads however, you can travel to the palace on the back of an elephant.  As for The Royal Observatory, it is home to 19 astronomical instruments including the world’s largest sun dial. It’s a very popular attraction for astronomy enthusiasts as well as the average star gazer.
