A dialogue between 2 foreigners discussing 'INCREDIBLE INDIA'
Answers
Answer:
fresh seafood and chilled out locals. An easy introduction to India, although I would like to add that in my opinion that Goa isn't really the 'real India', in other words don't make Goa your only destination. Hampi and Badami. Home to ancient temples and housed royalty. Traveling to Badami on a road trip from Goa, then awaking to the call to prayer, with the sun rising over ancient temples and monkeys ano boars roaming wild below my balcony, I felt like I had arrived in the real India! Badami is home to Bhuthanath Temple and Hampi has the magnificent living temple Virupaksha, among many other fantastic structures, perhaps 2 of the most historically interesting places in all of India Gir Forest in Gujurat. The reserve and forest is home to the fiercely protected Asiatic Lions. A true demonstration of the progressive attitude India has towards wildlife. Numbers have increased from just 300 to 527 (as of the 2015 census). I stayed at the Asiatic Lion Lodge, wonderful accomodation, delicious local food and close to the Forest, perfect for budding photographers wanting to go on early morning and dusk safaris.
There’s a big plan in the works — the development of 17 iconic sites will be part of this,” he said. “It will be a holistic plan that will look at boosting numbers on several fronts. The ministry has already worked on the master plans for the 17 iconic sites and has held stakeholder consultations and appointed consultants. It may have come in the budget now, but we have been working on it.”
The government is also evaluating representations made by the tourism industry. “Different demands of the industry are being considered, and a lot of things are in process,” said another official. “Some of the demands of the industry are also being considered by the ministry of home affairs.”
