Independence day celebration

GENERAL INFORMATIONS

Your passport must be valid for at least the duration of the visa you are applying for

In order to obtain a visa, you can either directly go to the Indian embassy in your country or send the applying form and required photos, money, etc. to the embassy. The form can be found in the web page of the Indian embassy in your own country

(In case of doubt and need, we will be glad to help you find and fill the form)

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

In terms of clothing, it will depend on the season you are travelling. In the south, the climate is year round quite acceptable. We tend to avoid the places of either extreme rain, cold or heat, even though it is not always so predictable

We will keep you informed a few weeks before your arrival on which cloths you may have to pack

Anyhow, as a general rule, it is quite recommended for the women to have their legs and shoulders covered. Especially if you are planning to visit holy places, temples and places off the main touristic track

None of the vaccinations are compulsory in order to enter the country. It will be up to you to decide what to do, according to your health and habits. Nowadays, every type of medication is quite easily available. As well as allopathic, homeopathic and ayurvedic doctors and treatments

Anyway, it is wise to follow certain basic rules:

•  always drink out of a sealed mineral water

•  do not eat salads or fruit that cannot be pealed, except in very good restaurants

•  keep yourself well hydrated. In India, doctors advise to drink al least one coconut milk a day. They will be provided by smiling vendors in every corner of the city or villages and freshly opened for you

•  use high solar protection and do not expose yourself excessively under the sun. A hat could be useful

For any further information or doubt you can contact us by e-mail or phone
