With incredible biodiversity and unparalleled topography. The hot deserts of Rajasthan, the cold desert of Ladakh (known as moon land), tropical rain forests of Kerala and Assam, the snow peaks of Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir. India is several countries in one. And in filming terms can double as such.

The local population made up of several ethnicities also makes Indians a very diverse looking people. The one common thread running through the entire nation is the warm welcome and the hospitality that the people of India offer.

Atithi Devo Bhava – The Guest is God is a concept as old as the Upanishad’s itself, which is where it comes from. It is something that is ingrained in the culture and part of any experience in India.
