India is a land of fairy tales. Once here, anyone remembers children's books with exciting stories about sultans and beautiful palaces. For everyone, this country is associated with something special, for some it is amazing architecture, for others it is the indescribable smell of curry and all kinds of spices, for others it is yoga, unique culture and traditional clothing. Beautiful places can be found everywhere, let's look at the most notable of them.
Taj Mahal
Every country has a landmark that every tourist must visit; for India, this is the Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal is a monument true love, it was built by the Mughal Emperor for his wife, who died during childbirth. This architectural masterpiece, constructed entirely of white marble, took twenty-two years to build. It became the grave of the emperor’s beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, and later the emperor himself rested here.
Originally conceived as a mausoleum, today the Taj Mahal is a whole complex with delightful gardens, ponds and parks inhabited by a wide variety of birds and animals, which gives the right to call it the most beautiful place in India.
Goa
Nowadays, the most visited place in India is Goa. This small but lively town attracts tourists, first of all, with its inimitable nature. Golden beaches, blue sky, azure water - a small piece of paradise located on the coast of the Arabian Sea.
Palolem is considered the most beautiful beach; nature has formed a bay here, surrounded on both sides by high capes. But Goa is not only beaches and hotels; on its territory there is the second largest waterfall in India - Dudhasagar. Sung by many poets and called “milk waterfall” among them, it rightfully belongs to the most beautiful places of this fabulous country.
Mumbai
Mumbai is a city where everyone will find something interesting for themselves. All tourists are delighted with this city. Some people remember it thanks to a visit to the Prince of Wales Museum, which contains amazing paintings by artists from different times, while others get an unforgettable experience from sailing or horseback riding.
Mumbai is also famous for the fact that it houses the Mahalakshmi Temple, built to honor the gods Kali, Lakshmi and Saraswati, and the temple of the god Shiva.
The most beautiful place in Mumbai is the so-called India Gate - a triumphal arch located above the entrance to the city harbor. The arch was built in the 1920s. for the arrival of the King and Queen of England.
Kerala
Kerala is another region of the country that is blessed with amazing natural beauty. Mountains, jungles, beaches, water canals - all the diversity natural features India collected in one place. Kerala is famous for its parks and national reserves, as well as amazingly delicious Indian tea, which is collected on local plantations. Despite the hard and painstaking work (harvested entirely by hand), tea here is inexpensive.
Jaisalmer
The most ancient and beautiful place in India is the city of Jaisalmer. Lost somewhere in the Indian desert, it managed to carry its greatness and indescribable beauty through the centuries. Touching the walls of the Jaisalmer fort, which is also called the “Golden Fortress”, is like touching history itself.
Today the population of this city is no more than 58 thousand people, most of whom live in the Maharaja's palace. Unfortunately, tourists rarely visit this city due to its remoteness from civilization, but for those who decide to see Jaisalmer with their own eyes, it will be remembered for a lifetime.
The fortress walls hide not only the palace, preserved in its original appearance, but also ancient temples, as well as a repository of manuscripts.
Varanasi
The list of the most beautiful places in India should include Varanasi, which is also considered the most sacred city in India. What is surprising is the fact that its peer cities, such as Luxor and Babylon, have long since fallen into ruins, while Varanasi continues to thrive to this day. In ancient times it was called Kashi, which translated means “City of Light”. It is believed that everything in this city is imbued with spiritual power and divine light, even the stones here are sacred.
Interesting and geographical position Varanasi. It is built on three hills, which are considered to be the tops of the trident of the Indian god Shiva. In addition, this entire city is located on the left bank of the Ganges, but there is nothing on the right bank. This situation is not accidental; it is associated with the myth that the eastern bank of the Ganges serves as a refuge for the souls of the dead, transported there by Shiva.
This is how Mark Twain described India in 1897, and it is unlikely that anyone can say better about this country. Many years have passed, but in many ways these words still remain relevant. If you are bored with the beaches of Turkey, Egypt and the Maldives, you are fed up with the “monotonous” Europe, and you suddenly want new, sharp and vivid impressions, then you can safely go on a trip to India. It’s not a fact that you’ll like India, but it certainly won’t leave you indifferent, and besides, you’ll bring back quite a few interesting and vivid photographs from this trip that will stay with you for the rest of your life. One of the greats said, if India has been in your life at least once, then you will have something to remember on sleepless nights, and besides, your photographs of India will be nearby. In this section I have collected, in my opinion, the most interesting and beautiful pictures India, taken by me while traveling around the country.

In the afternoon there are a huge number of tourists at the Taj Mahal. There are even more Indians than foreigners. There are long queues to watch. And this is the case when I did not regret taking a guide. He walked me through all the queues. It turns out that foreigners are not in line for inspection. It’s not for nothing that we pay tens of times more than locals for a ticket.
