Angry faceBounded by the majestic Himalayan ranges in the north and edged by an endless stretch of golden beaches, India is a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes, magnificent historical sites and royal cities, misty mountain retreats, colourful heritage, rich cultures and festivities. Modern India is home alike to the tribal with his anachronistic lifestyle and to the sophisticated urban jet-setter. It is a land where temple elephants exist amicably with the microchip. Its ancient monuments are the backdrop for the world’s largest democracy. Here is an opportunity for exotic journey through India.

Namaste! Welcome to exotic India!

Bounded by the majestic Himalayan ranges in the north and edged by an endless stretch of golden beaches, India is a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes, magnificent historical sites and royal cities, misty mountain retreats, colourful heritage, rich cultures and festivities. Modern India is home alike to the tribal with his anachronistic lifestyle and to the sophisticated urban jet-setter. It is a land where temple elephants exist amicably with the microchip. Its ancient monuments are the backdrop for the world’s largest democracy. Here is an opportunity for exotic journey through India.

Enjoy the vibrancy and melody of Indian song and dance, from classical and semi-classical arrangements, folk pieces to modern soul stirring compilations. Covering the ancient art of henna, drape yourself in a beautiful sari. Explore the beauty and diversity of our cultures, when visiting our bazaar, filled with unique one of a kind artifacts costumes and jewellery.

Tantalize yourself with the colourful and mouth watering palette of Tandoori, vegetarian and curry dishes. Food is cooked to perfection, with an array of spices and aroma, the heart of Indian Cuisine. Don’t miss treating your sweet tooth to our collection of sweets and desserts, finally a famous “Benarasi Paan” (chewing betel leaf).

Highlight: Bollywood movie every night!
