About India

India is a vast South Asian destination where ancient traditions, modern cities and remarkably varied landscapes exist side by side. From historic monuments and spiritual centres to busy commercial hubs and quiet coastal regions, the country offers a wide range of experiences for leisure and business travellers.

Major cities each have a distinct character. Delhi brings together government institutions, historic monuments and a growing international dining scene, Mumbai is the country's financial and entertainment centre, while Bengaluru is known for its technology industry. Kolkata, Chennai, Jaipur, Agra and Hyderabad add further layers of history, culture and regional identity.

Beyond the cities, India spans the Himalayas in the north, the Thar Desert in the west, the fertile Ganges plains, the tropical Western Ghats and long coastlines along the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. The Taj Mahal in Agra, Rajasthan's forts and palaces, Kerala's backwaters and the temples of South India are among its best-known attractions.

India is an important player in global trade, technology and manufacturing, and it hosts major business events, conferences, festivals and cultural gatherings throughout the year. Its size and regional diversity mean travel experiences can change considerably between states and seasons.

A broad network of international airports, domestic flights, railways and highways connects major cities, regional centres and popular destinations. This infrastructure supports convenient journeys between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist sites across the country.
