Indian Tourism boosted with Unique Travel Opportunities

India, without a tad of doubt, is considered globally for its wealth of wisdom. In fact, when alternative therapies like ayurveda and yoga are talked about, it reigns supreme on global scale. However, not enough is being done especially to promote such wellness facilities, believe some tour operators. Whatever the case may be,the fact of the matter is India is leading when it comes to spa, ayurveda, and yoga.

Alternative therapies were already popular as we find that in the late 60s, The Beatles came to
India Travel and visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in Rishikesh. Now this is something to be cheered for. Many travelers go to the pilgrim town in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Interestingly, if we were to arrange such a trip, we would put it under the label of 'wellness tour'. An increasing number of foreigners are coming and enjoying these wellness tours. In fact, they are finding respite in alternative therapies.

It is a fact that India is largely recognized globally for its wealth of wisdom in areas of ayurveda and yoga these days. However, government needs to do more to promote tourism along with consolidating these alternative methods.

So, if you are reeling under urban pressure and stressful lifestyle is taking its toll on you, going on a holiday while seeking facilities like spas, yoga, ayurveda and fitness centres can change your life for positive.
