India packs many things within one geographical boundary: deserts, lakes, snow-capped peaks, festivals, religions and a cultural heritage which goes back more than thousands of years. A traveller's paradise, India offers spectacular scenes for keen photographers. We'll just let these pictures do the talking:

1. The Taj Mahal, Agra

The mausoleum dedicated by Shah Jahan to his beloved Mumtaz is known the world over as the symbol of love. Over time, and in many ways, it has become the face of India for most people. A shot of the Taj at sunset explains why.

2. Stok Kangri, Ladakh

They say you need to climb the mountain if you want to see the view. I say, a view like this deserves a good camera.
