As well as being the world’s largest democracy, India offers a staggering variety of destinations and a set of wonders, both natural and man-made, which are unsurpassed. To mention thick rainforests, mangrove swamps, deserts, as many types of coast as can be imagined and the stupendous slopes of the Himalayas is only to scratch the surface of what India has to offer. The country's booming economy also makes it one of the main destinations for overseas investors, with the government elected in 2014 renewing confidence and momentum in both. Expats are constantly attracted to the country for work opportunities, further boosting the housing market, with Goa, Punjab, Mumbai and Pune some of the most popular hotspots.
