For a lot of travelers in India, New Delhi is the capital of everything that they need to get away from as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, the town has some wonderful secrets that I would like to share with you.

New Delhi's hidden corners

In the local dialect, "Apani Dhani" means "Our Hamlet", an affectionate name given to the place by Ramesh C. Jangid, founder of the ecolodge and a pioneer of a form of militant tourism in India, especially in Rajasthan and his own native region of Nawalgarh.

Delhi is a huge melting pot, divided into two towns - the historic Old Delhi and the actual capital city, New Delhi.

A country with the size of a continent, India fascinates and will always leave you wanting more. From the intensity of the tropical beaches to the salty lakes of the Himalayas, via the ice deserts of Ladakh or temples of the Maharadjahs of Rajastan, the list of majestic places could go on eternally. Travelling in India is a concentration of unique experiences, whether through its incomparable landscapes, its vibrant cities or unexpected encounters. And there is also the beauty of life, with its exceptional tones and colours. The omnipresent music, from the bells on the women’s feet to the litanies escaping from the temples; the sparkling colours of the saris and bright colours of the turbans. An unequalled energy, bright and frank glances, coupled with hearty and generous smiles. Would you like to travel to India, off the beaten tracks, where you long to find calm and pleasure?

If you go to Konark, it will no doubt be to see the temple, dedicated to the sun god, Surya. It's a classified UNESCO World Heritage Site, so be prepared to see a temple that is truly magnificent. First of all it's huge, designed to represent Surya's chariot and is divided into several parts. You can no longer see the tallest part, the Shikhara, as it collapsed but at the time it rose to above 70 meters. The Jaga Mohan, the main sanctum, is an enormous structure measuring 36 meters along its sides and over 30 meters high. Walking along the temple walls, you'll be impressed by its innumerable sculptures and low reliefs that depict scenes of daily life along with some more erotic ones; don't forget it was Indians who invented the Kama Sutra! A chariot would not be a chariot if it didn't have wheels, so the temple is also decorated with 24 richly and finely sculpted wheels, each measuring 3 meters in circumference. This was one of the most beautiful of all the temples that I had the chance to see in India and I highly recommend that you put it on your list of places to visit <a href="/india/">. Make the most of your trip to India by going to</a> the Sun Temple at Konark and enjoy touring one of the country's cultural gems.
