There are about 1,200 species of birds, among them vultures, parrots, mynas, quail, and bustards. Every experience in India is new and different, and the unexpected often happens. Different races, age-old cultures, fascinating languages, exotic styles of dress and every type of scenery that could be desired. Camels carry heavy loads through the stillness of the desert in Rajasthan - they even carry part of the postal service. Tigers and leopards can be seen in their natural habitat in the many unspoilt wildlife sanctuaries.
Sacred cows amble sleepily through towns and villages, intermingling with the traffic.
Ride in a bullock cart, and afterwards watch the ancient art of snake charming. Walk or go trekking in the unsurpassable beauty of the Himalayas. Watch the subtlety, the splendour, the grace of an Indian dancer where every movement of the hand of foot is an art-form. Listen to the haunting beauty of Indian music. Join the smiling throng of people celebrating one of the many festivals.
