Himalayan mountain range extends from north to north east India which consists of sky touching and extremely cold mountains.

A common misconception. Hindi is not the only official language, it is one of the 24 official languages of India. Yes, India consists of 24 such languages like Gujarati, Bengali, Marathi, Sanskrit etc. Various languages are spoken across the different regions of the country.  


Myth #6 : India is all about Taj Mahal 



Taj mahal is a ancient monument in India which is considered in 7 wonders of the world. This historical monument is located in Agra city of India. Taj mahal is visited by millions of tourists every year. But people limit the Indian beauty to Taj mahal. India is not just about this. Northern India is blessed with stunning cold hill stations. Other historical monuments like Qutub minar, Rani ki vav, humayun tomb, etc. also have well designed architecture. South India has lots of Hindu religion temples. And the greenery of North east can not be ignored.
