Top Two Destinations to Visit for India’s Rich Cultural Heritage

Besides its captivating natural splendours, what leaves one who grabs travel tickets for holidaying in India becharmed is its glorious history and invigorating culture. Almost every corner of the nation has a story to tell and offers something exotic in terms of culture. However there are a few destinations where holidaying is a sure-fire way to immerse into India’s cultural ecstasy and make the most of the monies spent on deals for flights and vacation packages. Here is a quick look at top two!

Rajasthan 
Not for nothing is this state considered as the miniature India, particularly in terms of history and culture. Brimming with awe-inspiring forts and palaces, enticing marketplaces and splendid art centres, it offers visitors a rare chance to soak in the royal histories of its rulers and their lifestyle. Tourists can even experience that royalty by staying in heritage hotels of the state. The exotic fairs & festivals in Rajasthan also set visitors on a quest for air tickets aboard flights arriving in the state. Some popular tourist places to visit there include Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer.
     
Khajuraho
Located in Indian province of Madhya Pradesh, it is a second to none destination to have an insight into spellbinding temple architecture, superb stone carvings and rich local traditions. Khajuraho’s temples are unique not only for their architectural beauty, but also for the religious and cultural significance they have. On the outer walls of these temples are interactive sculptures of kings and deities engaged in physical intimate acts. The place also features many enriching programmes all year-round, and lives up to every penny spent on tickets on flights for sojourning India.

India, Philippines Hope to Boost Tourism

Top Asian holiday destinations, India and the Philippines will be working together to push their tourism interests. Media reports disclose that both countries will be promoting tourist activities and look for newer opportunities in the tourism industry. Education, promotion, marketing and destination development are some of the key areas that these nations plan to work on to meet their objective. The two nations had signed an accord in 2006 for tourism cooperation.

India and the Philippines would also be looking at ways to strengthen flights services between the destinations. A rise in the number of flights on the route is likely to push up tourist traffic, offering more and flexible flight options to travellers. Even foreign travellers in India or Philippines will be able to pick from more flights alternatives when it comes to travelling to the other destination. Both these countries are highly popular among European vacationers and entice many to take flights and look for twin centre holidays.

It is believed that rise in tourist traffic between the two countries would also strengthen the bilateral relations.

Over the years, there has been a steady hike in the number of tourists taking flights to India from the Philippines. In the year 2008, 17,222 travellers took flights to India from Philippines. The number went up to 21,987 and 24,534 in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

In 2011, India extended the Visa on Arrival (VoA) for tourists taking flights from Philippines.
