The Republic of India is located in South Asia, and is the seventh largest country in the world, with the second largest population (over one billion) and the world?s largest democracy. The Indian economy is the fourth largest in the world in terms of purchasing power parity and is the world's second fastest growing economy.
And what makes India one of the most favored destinations for tourists across the world, is perhaps its distinctive flavor varying dramatically from region-to-region, its magnificent landscapes, glorious historical monuments and royal cities, golden beaches, mist-clad mountains, colorful people, rich culture, year-long festivities and more.
The Himalayas standing tall in breathtaking splendor are radiant in myth and mystery. These, the youngest and tallest mountain ranges, feed the Ganga with never-ending streams of snow. The Himalayas are home to the people of Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh.
