India - The Dream Destination for Travelers
A century ago, when one talked about India, it was invariably about snake charmers, yogis and beggars in streets. Now IT is the main tag India shows, the progress it has made is certainly visible in growing strength of its currency (rupee) in international stock markets. Like burgeoning industry, tourism is also expanding very fast in India. Following is a list of places I have visited in India.
Places to visit in India:
Tajmahal (UttarPradesh)-This tomb of Mumtaj Mahal, wife of Mughal emperor Shahjahan has not only found place in the recently concluded hunt for new seven wonders of the world, but also bagged the first slot in it. The Taj truly deserves this position. It is said that 20, 000 workers laboured day and night to build this epitome of love. It is generally considered the finest example of Mughal Architecture. I have been here twice and still want to go back. The beauty of this monument is breathtaking. Taj mahal is built in Agra, where other places of interest are castle of fateh pur sikri.
Shopping : Agra is famous for its sweet dish called “petha”. Agra rugs, marble and leather is also famous.
Jaipur: (Rajasthan)-This city has got another name, “Pink City” because of its pink stone buildings and houses. this is the land of Rajputs, the tribe which is known for its courage, hospitality and deep sense of honor and pride. there are many attractions here e. g. Amber Palace, Birla temple, Jantar mantar, fort of nahargarh(people especially come here at night to watch the beautiful city in the moon light), Jal Mahal, “Water Palace” sits in the center of a lake, Hawa Mahal (palace of winds) is the most easily recalled landmarks of Jaipur and is also its icon.
