Sightseeing
Viele Menschen denken zuerst an das TAJ MAHAL und den PALAST DER WINDE (Hawa Mahal), wenn sie an Sehenswürdigkeiten in Indien denken. Aber es gibt in Indien noch so viel mehr zu sehen als diese beiden Monumente!
We think of the mountainous region of HIMACHAL PRADESH, of RAJASTHAN with its long MOGHUL history, we think of the cities along the GANG with their ceremonies and also GOA, which have so much more to offer than just the numerous beaches. KERALA, TAMIL NADU and many more are waiting to be discovered by you.
