Welcome to the world of Marco Polo India.
It's a world inspired by the daring adventurer and enthusiastic
explorer, who centuries ago traversed the ancient silk and trade routes stretching
across deserts and oases and remote settlements. Starting from Eastern Europe crossing into Central Asia and
further through Tibet into China, Marco Polo's adventurous travels still inspire.
For 24 years Marcopolo a young impressionable adventurer and a keen
observer traveled and recorded the history of the inhabitants and
different races that he encountered, gave detailed descriptions of architectural
styles of cities that he visited and described the system of Governments that
adminsitered them. His sharp memory documented peoples' varied lifestyles,
food habits, their style of dress, social customs, rituals, and
religions. After his long years of travelling he finally wrote his
famous book - The Travels of Marco Polo - in which he also describes
the rich diversity of plants, animals and terrain he encountered in his travels.
And towards the end years of his life he is reported to have said "
I have not written down the half of those things which I saw".
