Destination India

A unique culture

Multifaceted and with many traditions, India is among the oldest civilizations in the world. As well as its culture, the region's landscapes are diverse and vary from the Himalayan snow peaks to the sunny beaches of Goa, which gives it a geographical individuality distinct from other Asian countries.

Traveling around India is about finding a diversity of flavors, beliefs, and customs found in arts, cuisine, land, and tribes. In addition, it is a society that moves calmly between antagonistic experiences: it is possible to find centuries-old shops and large shopping centers, modest houses and luxurious palaces side by side.

Spirituality is present in every corner of India, among so many beliefs, Hinduism and Islam are the most popular, however, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism are also widely practiced. So many different religions in a single territory also made India a spiritual travel destination.

The potential of wellness programs, developed through centuries of wisdom from this ancient civilization, has been harnessed by positioning India as a center for Ayurveda, Yoga, Sidha, Naturopathy, etc., along with the spiritual philosophy that has been an integral part of the Indian way of life.
