Incredible India: The Trip of a Lifetime


The very first view of the Taj Mahal
Engulf yourself in rich culture and create life long memories in a gorgeous country filled with art, architecture, history and beautiful scenery. India comes to life through the celebration of art in so many forms. A trip to India is a an experience that you will never forget. It will be a whirlwind adventure filled with memories to last a lifetime. All it takes is one trip for you to fall in love with the culture, the people, the food and the beautiful rich artwork that lives in India. The first thing that people often associate with India is the stunning Taj Mahal. Pictures do not do this immaculate piece of art any justice it is beyond anything you have ever seen, no wonder it's one of the Seven Wonders of the World. 



Art literally comes to life India through beautiful fashion, artwork, architecture and so much more. The talented people of India use any medium they can to tell a story and express themselves. One creative way is through puppets, each one handmade of course. This particular show was lots of fun to watch as it incorporated a bit of everything! Music, dancing and storytelling took over the stage as everyone laughed along to the young boys theatrical renditions of popular North American songs.


 

 

 About 70 percent of the population in India follows the Hindu religion. The Grand Birla Temple in Delhi is a popular place for worshippers as well as tourists. Similar to many of the other structures in India, it is constructed out of marble.

If you have a spicy palette then you will love the food in India! An aunthentic Indian meal consists of naan, basmati rice, daahl and curry amongst many other delicious dishes! 


For the history lovers out there, India is surely the place to visit! Brimming with history, India takes you back in time to revisit some of the places that have helped to shape the world as we know it today.

A popular tourist attraction is the Qutab Minar which is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.





Another UNESCO World Heritage Site is Humayun's Tomb.
These few pictures are just some of the many beautiful sites India has to offer. The vibrant and welcoming Indian culture will leave you wanting to come back again. From rickshaw rides down the busy streets of Delhi to an exciting elephant ride up Amber Fort, India is truly an adventure of a lifetime.

Travel and Photography are partners for life.

Hello Travelers and Photographers!




This post is especially dedicated to you because travel and photography are entwined. You cannot photograph unless you travel and cannot travel without clicking a single picture. It’s like a happily married couple It is only while treading through different walks of life and experiencing different cultures, scenes, people and objects that a photographer is able to spot myriad things and collect them in his camera

When travel and photography become friends, the tour is called “Travel Photography”! And believe the fact that it is the most beautiful combination of two arts that one could ever possess.

The workshops dealing in photography remain less mundane and give the amateurs a chance to enhance their skills and for those who are veteran photographers find travel photography a cake walk! Visit the diverse geographical expanse and go shutter bugging at the place you’ve always had your eyes on! What's holding you back?

So how can you be a part of travel photography?

·         Spot your group of travel photographers
·         Catch hold of your travel agent who will give you an exclusive offer on the tour
·         Keep your equipment ready
·         Go click click!

Well, the above is simple. You can find some super duper travel itineraries on Photography tours like Onkar Travels.com too. They can customize some of the most sort after places just for you!

Ingredients of 'The Great Tour'



“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.” 

Are you a wanderer? Does the very thought of traveling gives you butterflies? Then my dear friend you are on the right page! The best part about traveling is the joy in unearthing a world which is different from yours, cultures whose existence you never knew about and people who are all the same and yet so varied in their way of leading life. A traveler has no limits; the desire to be on the go is unending. One doesn’t need an occasion to travel. It just becomes a way of life, an activity that involves endless learning opportunities. The wonderful bit about travel these days is the flexibility with which it comes. It can be tailored according to your tastes! So what do you need when you wish to plan ‘The Great Tour’?

  

  • ü  An ideal trip adviser
  • ü  A decent budget
  • ü  A dream place in mind
  • ü  The aim behind your travel- Be it photography, wildlife, a celebration, a luxurious tour
  • ü  The zeal to discover


How do you locate an ideal trip adviser/agent? Remember to catch hold of an adviser who can customize your stay and bring you an exclusive deal you have never heard before! Give yourself the discretion to choose from the range of tours that are offered and pick the one that interests you the best! If your kind of tour isn’t mentioned in the list then it is time for you to CREATE A TOUR of your own and name it. Sounds like fun? So the next time you could be advising your travel agent on creating a for instance-Friends Reunion Tour. Let your agent know exactly the way you picture it- the luxuries, how you wish to be received, the places you want to skip and the places you desire to see!


Set up a budget, take a vague idea from your agency and see if fits into the scheme of things. Or even better if you let a figure out to your trip advisor and let them look for a place you could afford and at the same time enjoy being there.


                       
Want to go to a place you’ve always dreamt of going and that too with an intention? Go ahead. Let nothing hold you back and take the leap.  And if there is an aim behind being where you want to be then nothing like it! Got a photography skill? Or a passion to explore the wild? Go with the flow. Be a part of those exotic tours!
Lastly, zeal to discover which is needless to say must be embedded in you if you are a traveler!

Happy traveling!!
