Get an Indian Visa to See Nanda Devi and the Valley of Flowers
March 11th, 2010
This week's UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Week is a set of two national parks in India, Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers. Nanda Devi is India's second-highest mountain, rising 25,643 feet into the air. It is often referred to the patron goddess of the Uttarakhand Himalaya.
Nearby, the lush beauty of the Valley of Flowers offers a pleasing contrast to the jagged peaks of Nanda Devi. As you might expect from the name, Valley of Flowers is covered in so many flowers that locals legends say it is inhabited by fairies!
UNESCO named both parks World Heritage Sites in 2008, saying:
"Together they encompass a unique transition zone between the mountain ranges of the Zanskar and Great Himalaya, praised by mountaineers and botanists for over a century and in Hindu mythology for much lo

October 6th, 2009
The Taj Mahal is one of India's most famous tourist attractions, and with good reason. It rivals the Egyptian pyramids for the title of the largest and most elaborate tomb ever built!
The story of the Taj Mahal is also a love story. The building was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his third and favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. According to Wikipedia, the Emperor renamed his wife "Mumtaz Mahal" after their marriage-the name means "jewel of the palace."
When she died giving birth to their 14th child, the emperor was inconsolable, and ordered the Taj Mahal built as a tomb. The immense white marble building with its familiar onion-shaped dome is unforgettable, and its grandeur assures that the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal lives on even today.
