An Indian Travel and Tourism Blog

Hello and Namaste !!!

Welcome onblog and embark on a Discovery of India tour - with a "Southern Perspective". For, there is a golden India beyond Delhi-Agra-Jaipur waiting to be explored. Call it the Southern Splendour or Stately South. The landscape is dotted with monuments of archtectural splendour. And for the rest of India, we will give you important links to help you choose your pick apart from filing some original posts on this blog.

So, seek out "Incredible India" to satiate your senses. An experience to savour the ancient, the medieval and the modern. It will be nothing short of a travel in a time machine that transports you back and forth from the ancient to the modern - be it the sublime architecture of the Asokan stupa at Sanchi belonging to the 3rd century BC or the majestic temples of South India that evolved over a 1000 years ago from the 10th century A.D; the awe inspiring cave temples of Ellora that dates back to 7th century A.D or the more ancient Ajanta cave paintings whose origin is traced to the 1st century BC... The list is mind boggling and this blog will be your one-stop source of information for travel and tourism in India.

As India Khazana evolves it will post information pertaining to places of tourist interest in India with a brief description of the place, location, mode of travel and the best season to visit. But the speciality of this blog will be its exhaustive treatment of Karnataka in the south, and whose capital is Bangalore. Rest assured, no site or blog will give you such tourism-related information pertaining to Karnataka as India Khazana.

Other plans include a detailed treatment of UN World Heritage Sites in India, holiday ideas, popular tourist circuits, comprehensive information on wildlife tourism, and an exhaustive set of links to lead you to important websites (specific to each State) for additional travel and tourism related information.


Also on the anvil, high resolution photographs of monuments in Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Assam, Bihar etc. Savour essays on the classic rail journeys of India including on the Chennai-New Delhi Grand Trunk Express, Chennai-Howrah Coromandel Express, Delhi-Agra Taj Express, Darjeeling Himalayan Mountain Railway, Bangalore-Mysore Tipu Express, Bangalore-Chennai Brindavan Express and a lot more.

In short India Khazana is poised to emerge as a treasure trove of information for tourists and armchair travellers alike. So happy surfing....
