Showcased in this book, in a feast of lavish colour photographs and lucid text, are 100 fabulous destinations that evoke the wonder that is India. Within the folds of an astounding 5000-year-old history and vast multitude of landscapes that include the world’s highest mountains, great rivers, long coastlines, deserts and dense forests, is an awesome legacy of man-made and natural wonders. Each is described with details of history and brought to life with vivid colour images. Also included is useful information for travellers. Beginning with the 12,000-year-old cave paintings of Bhimbetka, up to the Bah???ai House of Worship, a blindingmasterpiece of 20th century engineering and design, the wealth of creative genius, brilliant skill and endeavour of its people are evident in India???s man-made wonders. Between the soaring medieval temples of the South and dramatically perched Buddhist monasteries of the North; the uniquely ornamented stepwells of the West and the grand Victoria Memorial, a symbol of British supremacy in the East, lie massive forts, fairy-tale palaces, tombs of Sultans, ruined ancient cities, statuesque cathedrals, and of course, the resplendent Taj Mahal. Along with these are the wonders bestowed on India by nature. In a country blessed with astoundingly diverse ecology and terrain, these range from the mighty Himalayan peaks of Nanda Devi and Kanchenjunga to the elephant-inhabited lush tropical forests of Periyar, and from the pristinewhite island beaches of Lakshadweep to the tiger-infested delta of two legendary rivers: the Ganga and the Brahmaputra
