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.

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?

Situated about 200 kilometers north of Calcutta, Shantiniketan is a Bengali center of cultural excellence. It was here, in 1901, that Rabindranath Tagore, a Noble Laureate in Literature, decided to build a school that would specialize in the arts and humanities; the famous Visva-Bharati University was thus born. Over a century later, Shantiniketan remains true to the poet's vision and today the university welcomes students from all over the world. Life here is civilized, enjoyable and encourages creativity! I met a lot of artists, writers and musicians at Shantiniketan and each one described life there as enchanting - a magical place that you'll want to return to. Shantiniketan really stole my heart during my <a href="/india/">trip to India.</a> ! Bengal is a land of artists and writers and Shantiniketan is a perfect example. Let the students and locals tell you about the region and its stories; take time out to bury your head in Tagore's writings. Shantiniketan's charm will win you over! Another plus...each year the town celebrates Holi, the festival of colors, in style. A place not to miss if you find yourself in Bengal.
