Himalayas, Thar desert, Indo-Gangetic plains provide variation in the
climate and topogarphy across the northern India. Himalayas hold some of
the scenic hill stations of the subcontinent. Delhi, capital of India is
also located in north India. Before Britishers shifted their capital
from Calcutta to Delhi, this historical place already had seen fanactic
political activities for centuries.
Being closely related to
the history of northern India, Delhi has many historical monuments. Some
of these monuments are have managed to bear the vagaries of time but
many have perished. Close to Delhi is Agra. The Moghuls had this place
as their capital before they shifted to Delhi. Agra is famous for the
greatest monument fo love the Taj Mahal. This white marble structure is
an architectural marvel and is the most photographed monument in the
world.
Close
to Agra are twin cities of Mathura and Vrindavan. These two places are
important pilgraimage for Hindus. In Uttar Pradesh, on the banks of holy
river Ganga is located Varanasi. Varanasi or Banaras as it is known has
been very sacred for the Hindus as they consider this place to be abode
of Lord Shiva. While Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir
have numerous hills stations, the dry Thar desert of Rajasthan holds
historic cities of Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur. The palaces, forts and
gardens & lakes add colour to this otherwise barren area. The cities
of Rajasthan spell Royal grandeur in their structure and have been
attracting a major chunk of foreign tourists.
