    1. Welcome to India

    1.1 Welcome!

    Unity in diversity has been the distinctive feature of India. We are home for

    diverse cultures, religion and communities. Being one of the oldest

    civilizations of the world, Indian history spans more than 4,500 years. Indian

    socio-economic development has been centred on its rich cultural history and

    strong familial bonds.Its pristine mountains, sprawling landscape and rivers is

    a much sought after tourist destination and the large consumer base and

    talent pool makes it a hub for IT, trade and commerce.

    Urban India portrays a beautiful amalgamation of the old and the new. It still

    has its roots deep dug into traditional Indian family setups and value systems

    but at the same time is also developing and globalizing at a blinding speed. It

    is a mix of ideas, people, modernity and heritage that makes India so unique.

    So here’s hoping that you have a wonderful time exploring this truly

    incredible country and have a very pleasant stay.

    1.2 How to reach IMT Ghaziabad

    IMT Ghaziabad campus is 45 Km or

    90 minutes’ drive from Indira Gandhi

    International Airport, New Delhi. The

    nearest Delhi Metro Railway station

    is Vaishali at a distance of around 12

    Km from the college.On prior

    notification, a taxi can be arranged

    to pick you from airport and to reach

    However, if the total amount of Indian currency is equivalent to or exceeds

    USD 10,000 then you need to

    9. Other Tourist Destinations in India

    India is a culturally diverse country with a rich history and some truly remarkable

    tourist destinations. So if you ever get time, apart from Delhi, visit some of these

    awe-inspiring places.

    Agra

    Agra is the one of the most visited cities in

    India, since it is home to one of the greatest

    eternal symbols of love-Taj Mahal. This white

    domed marble mausoleum is one of the

    Seven Wonders of the World and has an

    epic love story behind it. FatehpurSikri, Agra

    Fort, Akbar's tomb, Ram Bagh and Sikandra

    fort are some of the must visit places in

    Agra, apart from Taj Mahal.

    Goa

    Goa, the smallest state of India is known for its

    exotic beaches with amazing sunset view, golden

    sand and coconut palms playing with the wind.

    Tasty seafood, parasailing, wind surfing and water-

    skiing facilities make the beaches of Goa a core fun

    place. Alorna Fort, Ancestral Goa Museum,

    Arvalam Waterfalls, Chapora Fort and Calangute

    beach are some of the popular destinations in Goa.

    Jaipur and Udaipur

    Jaipur and Udaipur, located in

    Rajasthan gives us an insight into the

    rich cultural and artistic traditions of

    the state. HawaMahal or 'Palace of

    Winds', located in Jaipur, designed in

    the form of the crown of Lord

    Krishna is a beautiful construction,

    which draws tourists from all over the

    country. This pyramid shaped

    monument with 953 small windows

  • 27

    stands as the entrance to the City Palace, Jaipur and is a notable sight here.

    The Lake Place of Udaipur is one of the most beautiful palaces in the world,

    which is now converted into a hotel equipped with 66 rooms and 17 suites.

    Kashmir

    The Paradise on Earth, Kashmir's major attraction

    lies in its scenic beauty, snow clad peaks, lush green

    valleys, Alpine villages, cascading waterfalls, flower

    gardens etc. Kashmir is a destination worth visiting,

    during winter season where you can enjoy the boat

    ride on picturesque Dal Lake. The other major

    attractions are Gulmarg, Srinagar, Sonmarg, Nagin

    Lake, PariMahal, Shankaracharya shrine and

    Pehalgam.

    Kerala

    The enchanting backwaters of Kerala, the mesmerizing waterfalls, the hill

    stations and the serene atmosphere make the state one of the most preferred

    tourist destinations. Kerala Backwaters comprises of a chain of lagoons and

    lakes which lies parallel to the Arabian

    Sea. A cruise in the House boats gives

    tourists a unique and exciting chance

    to experience the beauty of the

    surrounding greenery and nearby

    villages. Munnar, Thekkady, Wayanad,

    Athirapally waterfalls, Varkala beach

    and Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple
