Why India...
As a neighboring country to Sri Lanka we share many affinities with India. Having worked in India has had an impact on our psyche and adoration for its diversity in every form.
With several diverse biogeographic regions from the Trans Himalayas to the dry deserts India hosts an array of life forms numbering to an unimaginable 90000 species from the smallest critters to the giants of the animal world. It is beyond comprehension if one is to negate India from their “Bucket List “.
From the highest snow capped peaks to dry deserts then to the most isolated islands. 36 countries all in one, 22 plus languages spoken, form utterly impoverished to the filthy rich, from the most primitive to the ultra-modern yet considered one country. The birthplace of most revered religions, “Incredible” so apt a term, well, could there be a better word and the search is inconceivable. The chaos is beyond comprehension but there is an order to the madness in any which way you look.
Having traveled “Incredible India” for two and a half decades the story never ends. Can you improvise on the word “diversity” then the best example would be India? You name it they got it.
To further sum it up India’s got a culinary identity as well of course differing regionally, this amazes any foodie, along with a whole array of other topics of interests as well.
Parallel to Natbound’s focus, India has a major resource when it comes to wildlife as briefed.
