Darjeeling is one of the most magnificent hill resorts in the world. This
heavenly retreat is bathed in hues of every shade. The flaming red rhododendrons,
the sparkling white magnolias, the miles of undulating hillsides covered
with emerald green tea bushes, the exotic forests of silver fir - all under
the blanket of a brilliant azure sky dappled with specks of clouds, compellingly
confounds Darjeeling as the QUEEN OF HILL STATIONS.
Hugging the shores of the turbulent Brahmaputra, Guwahati is the gateway
to the enchanting North Eastern India. The Light of the East, Pragjyotishpura,
as it was known once upon a time, is said to have been a vast kingdom during
the epic period of the Mahabharata. Today, Guwahati is the hub of the region
and also its largest city.
On January 28, 1913 the area of reserved forest was expanded with the inclusion
of another 13,506 acres. Kaziranga was declared a Game Sanctuary on November10,
1916. In 1938, the then conservator of forest, A.J.W. Milroy stopped all
poaching and opened Kaziranga to visitors. Because the word 'game' connotated
animals for hunting, in 1950, the then senior conservator of forest Mr P
D Stracey, changed the term to 'wildlife sanctuary'.
The largest metropolis in India, Kolkata(Calcutta) is a vibrant city on
the move, volatile and unpredictable. The Gateway to India, till 1912, and
the capital of the Raj in India, it still bears the Victorian imprint on
its streets and structures.
A heaven on earth is the common description of Puri. Both the devout and
the pleasure-seeker bestow such praise on the place. The world's biggest
Vishnu temple dividing the skyline through a host of smaller temples overlooking
Puri's wide, sprawling, clean, sunny, buoyant, and vibrant beach, which
too is one of world's finest of its kind are its chief attractions.
