The Taj is just one of the exceptionally romantic destinations
 |
The truth is, although it's easily India's most famous, the Taj is just one of the exceptionally romantic destinations in this vibrant, colorful, culturally rich country.
India's long history means it's brimming with spectacular ancient temples and cities -- some of which are much older (by hundreds of years) than the Taj. It's hard not to feel humbled, for instance, in the Rajasthani desert mecca of Jaisalmer, whose beautifully preserved sandstone buildings are shadowed by a fort built in the 1100s.
Nature has its romance in India, too. Few animals have inspired more vivid stories (or more wild imaginings) than the Bengal tiger -- and this creature makes its home, along with other animals like antelope and sloth bears, in the north-central jungle preserves of Kanha and Ranthambhore national parks. (Lucky guests who stay at wilderness camps there can try for tiger-encounter stories of their own.)
