Travel vaccinations

Requirements and advice can vary over time, and from person to person, so please contact your GP about eight weeks before your trip to check whether you need any vaccinations or any other preventive measures.

Itinerary changes

Occasionally, for operational reasons, we may have to change the order of the excursions on your holiday. The final day-by-day itinerary will be confirmed on your Final Travel Documents, which you will receive approximately three weeks prior to your departure.

Passports and visas

British citizens require machine-readable passports when travelling overseas. Your passport must contain two blank pages and be valid for 180 days after your return date from India.

British CITIZENS and most other European nationals satisfying certain conditions may use the online e-Tourist Visa application process at a cost of $10 (US) per person for entry to India for arrivals in the months of April, May and June or $25 (US) per person for arrivals in other months. Fees are subject to change. Other passport holders must apply for a full visa.

Note that all travellers of Pakistani descent, regardless of citizenship, will generally be subject to more detailed processing by the Indian authorities, which can take up to four months from application.

Luggage allowance

You are permitted to take one suitcase per person on the aircraft, which should not exceed 23kg.

Special requirements

If you have notified us of any special requirements, please check that they have been noted and acknowledged. This is especially important with any dietary needs you may have.

Changes to your hotels

Should circumstances require, we reserve the right to accommodate you in alternative hotels, of a similar standard, nearby. Full details of your hotels will be sent with your Final Travel Documents.

Road conditions

In developing countries road networks are continually being improved and expanded, which can mean that, from time to time, roadworks and rough road surfaces can extend journey times. Some journeys are made on winding mountain roads and passes, which may also make for slow travelling - although the scenery is usually worth it! Many roads do not have separate pavements or safety barriers, and great care should be taken when crossing or walking alongside roads.

On your flight

All outbound flights leave in the evening and land at your destination the next day. All return flights are usually overnight and land in the UK the next day. On-board meals will usually include dinner and breakfast. Drinks are complimentary.

Your return flight will usually be via Delhi but may sometimes be via the Middle East.

Hotel transfer times

The transfer time from the airport to your hotel is approximately one hour.

Assisted travel

The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the venue you're visiting.

For this tour specifically, it is important to note:

- Anyone with limited mobility may struggle to experience the itinerary to its full.

- Historic sites and temples are not well equipped for those with mobility considerations.

- Should you have walking difficulties, getting around may be harder and, in some cases, impossible.

This tour is therefore not recommended for those with limited mobility.

If you have any queries, please do contact us prior to travel.
