| | India : Regions in Brief (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | India is a vast country, roughly divided -- for the purposes of this book -- into North, East, and South. |
 | | South India's top destination, particularly for the well-heeled traveler in search of pampering and relaxation, Kerala offers ancient backwaters plied by houseboats, herds of wild elephant, coconut-lined beaches and, of course, the ancient healing art of Ayurveda. |
 | | Together with Ladakh (known as "Little Tibet"), this is also where you'll find India's largest concentration of Buddhists, their atmospheric gompas (temples, including Tabo, the World Heritage Site in Spiti) a total contrast to the pageantry of Hindu temples. |
