to stay Modes of Travel Travel Agents Profile India is one of the oldest
civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural
heritage. It has achieved all-round socio-economic progress since its
Independence. India has become self-sufficient in agricultural production and
is now one of the top industrialised countries in the world and one of the few
nations to have gone into outer space to conquer nature for the benefit of the
people. It covers an area of 32,87,263 sq. km (1,269,346 sq mi), extending
from the snow-covered Himalayan heights to the tropical rain forests of the
south. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the
rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the
country a distinct geographical entity. Bounded by the Great Himalayas in the
north, it stretches southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into
the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on
the west. Lying entirely in the northern hemisphere, the mainland extends
between latitudes 8° 4' and 37° 6' north, longitudes 68° 7' and 97° 25' east
and measures about 3,214 km from north to south between the extreme latitudes
and about 2,933 km from east to west between the extreme longitudes. It has a
land frontier of about 15,200 km. The total length of the coastline of the
mainland, Lakshadweep Islands and Andaman & Nicobar Islands is 7,516.6 km.
GEOGRAPHY Particulars Description Location The Indian peninsula is separated
from mainland Asia by the Himalayas. The Country is surrounded by the Bay of
Bengal in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west, and the Indian Ocean to the
south. Geographic Coordinates Lying entirely in the Northern Hemisphere, the
Country extends between 8° 4' and 37° 6' latitudes north of the Equator, and
68° 7' and 97° 25' longitudes east of it. Indian Standard Time GMT \+ 05:30

Afghanistan and Pakistan to the north-west; China, Bhutan and Nepal to the
north; Myanmar to the east; and Bangladesh to the east of West Bengal. Sri
Lanka is separated from India by a narrow channel of sea, formed by Palk
Strait and the Gulf of Mannar. Coastline 7,517 km encompassing the mainland,
Lakshadweep Islands, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Climate The climate of
India can broadly be classified as a tropical monsoon one. But, in spite of
much of the northern part of India lying beyond the tropical zone, the entire
