When is the best time to visit India?
We recommend visiting either between March-May or September-November. These are ideal weather seasons for most locations, not too hot and not too cold. If you are interested in a different time of year, there may be certain attractions unavailable due to seasonal hours.
How long should I plan to be in India?
We recommend planning at least 10 days for your trip, with a maximum of 30 days as that is what is allowed by Tourist E-Visas. This will give you plenty of time to get over jet lag and allow for visiting more than one location if desired. The longer your trip, the more you'll get to see!
What kind of visa will I need to visit India?
We will help you apply for a Tourist E-Visas, which is done online and then emailed directly to you. You'll print it out and carry with you during your trip. These last for 30 days, which is perfect for short term visits, and don't cost very much!
If you plan to visit India multiple times over the course of several years, we can discuss other options for longer term Tourist Visas that would come at an additional cost.
