Trip to India is soul lifting experience while visiting another world unto itself. A country so vast, rich and diverse, culturally, India offers a unique sense of wonder and accomplishment visiting every next destination. On a tour itinerary to India, it can be divided into primarily North and South India. There is a huge difference of culture between North and South. The northern part of India primarily remained influenced under the muslim values due to Islamic rulers. However, south India is entirely different from the North India. Including major states of peninsular India and two island groups of Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar, South India lacked the inculturation of Islam.
