The Fall Shows Some Spectacular Reasons to Visit India
A scene from Tarsem Singh's movie The Fall at Pangong Tso (Pangong Lake). The lake extends from India to China (Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, India; Rutog County, Tibet, China)
The Fall is a film by Tarsem Singh starring Lee Pace as injured stuntman Roy and Catinca Untaru as fellow patient Alexandria. The main star of the show (apart from the irresistibly charming child actress Catinca) is the dazzling natural landscapes shot around the world and the gorgeously intricate architecture of India, particularly in the state Rajasthan, which forms the backdrop to many of the fantasy scenes in the movie.
"The Indian"- a character in The Fall, movie by Tarsem Singh - at the City Palace, Jaipur in Rajasthan, India
Some of the locations look pretty surreal like this scene involving what looks like an M.C. Escher artwork coming to life. It is actually a stepwell in a village in Rajasthan.

If there ever was a movie primarily made to stir one’s wanderlust and evoke escape, this is it.
Jodhpur, Rajasthan, also known as Sun City or the Blue City for the indigo tinge of the houses around the Mehrangarh Fort
The superb cinematography panning over lush Balinese rice terraces, red sand dunes of Namibia and many seemingly otherworldly vistas, would give even the most extensive of tourism campaigns a run for their money.
Charles Darwin, the Indian, the Masked Bandit, Luigi and Otto Benga meets a mystic at Pangong Tso.
