The idea of India is almost synonymous with the word Heritage”. When Cambridge referred to the word Heritage’ with the features belonging to the culture of a particular society, such as traditions, languages, or buildings created in the past with perpetual historical importance, one cannot but relate to the rich heritage of one of the world's oldest civilizations.

Taj Mahal, Agra

One of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal is a marble marvel built on the banks of the river Yamuna. It's difficult to say which is more exciting the architectural genius of the structure or the stories behind it.

National Parks Of India
India is blessed with a rich tapestry of biodiversity that is both a natural heritage and a national treasure. The concept of national parks in the country traces back to the late 19th century when the importance of conserving wildlife began to take root in the consciousness of the colonial administration. The first national park in India, Hailey National Park (now known as Rajaji National Park), was established in 1936, marking a historic commitment to wildlife conservation. The post-independence era saw an exponential increase in protected areas, primarily driven by a need to conserve India’s unique flora and fauna threatened by rampant industrialization and urbanization.
