India is a wondrous destination for any traveller, whether they are there for business or pleasure. Step straight into your own Bollywood movie as you alight from your plane to capture a first glimpse of the mystery that is India. The light has its own special glow, and colours seem more vivid and spectacular in the warmth. A languid air of karma pervades.
This great republic is divided into six regions: The Himalayan North, visually stunning with exquisite mountain scenery. The Plains, historically important, and were you will find the capital New Delhi. Western India, home to a desert, colourful palaces, Mumbai, Bollywood and high finance in the stock exchanges. Southern India, culturally the most traditional region, with tropical forests, beautiful beaches and stunning temples. Eastern India, the most rural area in India. North-Eastern, this is a remote and sensitive corner of India, famous for its tea gardens.
The capital, New Delhi is the seat of government, but the largest, and most prominent economically, is Mumbai. Until recently known as Bombay, Mumbai is a thrilling twenty-four hour city. It is called the New York of India, and with good reason. It has all the zing and bustle of the big apple, and is both the financial and entertainment capital of India. The studios of Bollywood are just one of the reasons that Mumbai is so special.

The architectural style of Indian 5 star hotels differs greatly.

The climate in India is temperate in the northern mountains, to tropical in the south. There are roughly three seasons a year, summer, monsoon, and winter. There is rainfall only during the two monsoon periods, known as the Southwest and the Northeast. The Southwest is the stronger of the two, and lasts from June to September. The Northeast monsoon lasts from October to February and affects the east coast of India. Northeast India is the only area were both monsoons hit.
The North of India has a more varied climate, more akin to northern Europe, or northern America, and snow is rarely seen outside the Himalayan region.
