India is a mystical land that presents the traveler with a mesmerizing array of unforgettable colorful experiences:

See :The light under different latitudes: the shimmering gold brocade of saris worn by the ladies of Varanasi (Benares), the vivid colors of the turbans of Rajasthani farmers, the shimmering of a sunset over Himalayan peaks...

Listen :To the sound of a chant rising from a Hindu shrine at the time of the puja (ceremony), to the powerful voices of the bards singing the panegyrics of their masters in the gardens of a princely castle of Rajasthan. To the wind gushing through the arches of the romantic ruins of an ancient abandoned city engulfed in vegetation in Hampi, Burhanpur or Mandu.

To Feel: the scent of spices, so evocative of those thriving shores of southern India and Sri Lanka. Strings of jasmine, freshly picked in the morning. Women are tied in their hair. They deposit them as an offering on the altar of divinities.

To Taste: the fruits growing in the mountain orchards of Ladakh and the Himalayan foothills (apricots, apples, grapes...), the juice of a freshly squeezed mango, the diverse flavors of teas from Assam, Darjeeling or Nilgiri Hills, as rich and subtle as those of spices.

To Touch: The softness of silk, the smooth and refreshing touch of marble stone of religious and secular edifices, the rough and striated skin of an elephanT.

And as a sixth sense:the spirituality which is the companion of travelers wandering the roads of South Asia, awakening their sensitivity to the secrets of a great civilization.
