India
India is vast, extending over 3000 kilometres from the rugged Himalayan lands in the north to the more sultry states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the south. With a bewildering array of ethnic groups and a multitude of religions, as well as every imaginable type of landscape, India is a simply magical destination for adventure travel. From the perspective of the trekker, climber and mountain biker, it is the mountainous northern provinces of Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Garhwal and Sikkim that have the most to offer. Here, there are classic treks such as Zanskar's Wild West, Beyond Kulu, Curzon's Trail and the Kuari Pass and Singalila Ridge, as well as great climbing holidays that include 6000 metre peaks like Stok Kangri. Whilst Ladakh is at its best during the summer, some of the other regions of the Indian Himalaya are adversely affected by the monsoon at this season. Elsewhere in India there is no shortage of natural and man-made wonders. The Taj Mahal, easily accessible from Delhi, is perhaps India's most well-known attraction, with many other outstanding architectural highlights in the neighbouring desert state of Rajasthan.
