the ages. Delhi is also believed to be the site of Indraprastha, Pandavas'
capital in the great Indian epic, Mahabharata. Visit old Delhi where the new and

Jama Masjid, the formidable and grand Red Fort, and
the peaceful Seesganj Gurudwara here. Also taste the mouthwatering cuisines,
which if you are not used to spices, might make you a little red in the face.
Next, visit the Qutub Minar, which has now become the symbol of Delhi. Near the
Qutub Minar, there is the mesmerizing Mehrauli archaeological park, that is
almost like a Disney Land for history lovers.
It showcases layers and layers of history, and it is so fascinating you'll feel

Agra
Agra has been immortalized by
Shah Jahan, when he decided to give this city the
symbol of eternal love- the Taj Mahal. The
Taj Mahal- one among the seven
wonders of the world- epitomizes India. The best time to visit the Taj is during
a moonlit night, when you can just bask in its timeless beautiy and imagine the
days of Shahjahan and Mumtaz's eternal love.
People say that true love does not exist. Well, who listens to people, anyway!

Fort, Tomb of Itimad-ud-daulah- also known as the
Baby Taj, and Akbar's tomb.

Uttrakhand
Uttarakhand is a state North Indian region
of Himalayas. The state is popularly known as Devbhumi (land of Gods) due to the
presence of numerous Hindu pilgrimage sites. As a result, religious tourism
forms a major portion of the tourism in the state[1]. The tourism business in
Uttarakhand generated ₹23,000 crores during 2013-14.[2]
Char Dham
Uttarakhand is famous for Char Dham Yatra, which literally meaning 'journey
to four centres'. These four religious centres in Uttarakhand are
represented by Badrinath (dedicated
to Lord Vishnu), Kedarnath(dedicated
to Lord Shiva), Gangotri (the
holy origin of river Ganga)and Yamunotri (the
holy origin of river Yamuna).
The Char Dham Yatra begins around the first to second week of May every year.
These dates are announced in the national media. The base for the yatra is

which has all the amenities available for pilgrims and tourists alike. Pilgrims
and tourists generally book their journey through the local travel agents to all
the four locations.
Himachal Pardesh
The state of Himachal Pradesh is blessed with abundant natural beauty and a
rustic colonial charm. Of course, we have the touristy and beautiful hill
stations like the charming Kullu Manali, the enchanting
Shimla, and the
fascinating Chamba and Dalhousie here. But other than that, this beautiful
Indian state houses the quaint Dharamsala and McLeodganj

surroundings and cool crowd, and of course mouthwatering Tibetan cuisines.
Mcleodganj is also the home of the Dalai Lama, so needless to say it houses some
