TRAVEL INFORMATION

General

Passports & Visas
All travelers are required to have a valid passport. It is essential to possess a full 10-year passport that remains valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned return date of your tour.

For entry into India, Nepal, and Bhutan, visas must be obtained in advance of travel. On the other hand, visas for travel to Sri Lanka and the Maldives are acquired upon arrival in those countries. The Government of India has made an ‘E-Visa’ facility available to citizens of 150 countries. To refer to the list of eligible countries and to apply for the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) please click here to visit the official website.

Please note, ETA will remain valid for 60 days post the payment of the e-visa fee. Therefore, please plan accordingly, so that your visa is valid upon your arrival into India. The application process takes anywhere from 48 to 72 hours post the payment of the e-visa fee and is required to be applied for a minimum of four days prior to your arrival.

Ensure to carry a printed copy of the ETA received, as that will be stamped on arrival by Indian Immigration at the airport of one of the following cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bangalore, Chennai, Goa, Gaya, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Trichy, Trivandrum and Varanasi

Applying for a Visa can be stressful and anxiety inducing. We can help you acquire your visas to India, Nepal, and Bhutan. We will guide you on how you can enter Tibet, please write to us, if interested.

Insurance
We strongly recommend acquiring comprehensive insurance prior to traveling, which covers everything from trip cancellations and medical expenses to their baggage. Please ensure that you have ready access to your insurance information during your trip.

Health
There are no compulsory vaccinations when traveling to India, only recommendations. We suggest you consult your private physician 4 to 6 weeks prior to traveling to the Indian Subcontinent. Nepal and Bhutan itineraries may include travel to spaces with high altitudes, please check with your doctor before confirming your program.

Packing
When traveling in the winter, please pack scarves, sweaters, and jackets it can get cool in the evening. During the day cotton trousers/long shorts, jeans, T-shirts, and shirts are fine. In India, the sun is strong so please remember to pack a strong sunblock, shades, and a hat/cap. You will also need comfortable shoes for the tours and extra pairs of socks (airline type will do) as you may need to remove your shoes at some of the monuments/temples. Please feel free to consult us for specific clothing recommendations, as these would change based on your time of travel.

Electronics
India operates on 220v. We would recommend traveling with an international power adaptor. These are available on request at most hotels, if not already in your room.

Internal/Domestic flights within India
Baggage

Check-in Bags
Airlines within India typically allow a check-in baggage allowance of 15 kilograms (33 pounds) in economy class. Air India Airlines allows a check-in baggage allowance of 25 kilograms (55 pounds).

Carry-On Bags
Per government-sanctioned safety regulations, every traveler is allowed one carry-on bag onto the flight. The dimension of this bag must not exceed 55 cm x 35 cm x 25 cm (length/width/height) as it needs to easily fit on the flight’s overhead compartment. The weight of the carry-on bag should not exceed 7 kilograms (15 pounds). In addition to the above carry-on bag, each traveler is permitted one handbag/purse or a laptop bag on board.

Do not Forget
Your Passport

Please carry your passports while entering the airports as they are required for proof of identity.

Your Visa
If you are traveling with an e-visa, please carry a physical copy of the approval letter as it is required by the immigration officer on arrival in India.

Your Camera
India is a kaleidoscope of color just waiting to be photographed, so be sure to carry your camera.

An Open Mind & Heart
Indian cities are bustling and exciting and most areas safe. There is little danger of being mugged on the streets, but do not be offended if the locals stare at you – Indians are a friendly and hospitable people and simply curious. Almost all city dwellers speak English, and you will find all the street and shop signs in English as well.
