Your ultimate travel guide to India

Travelling to a country that is unfamiliar to you can be daunting at the best of times, and unless you are exceptionally daring, you usually spend many evenings trawling the internet to find out the essential information that you need to know before you go. What visas will you need for your holiday to India, and how easy is it to get currency or pay by card? Do you need vaccinations? What festivals could you come across on your travels? We’ve put an end to the stress by doing all the research for you and collating it in a beautiful and informative travel guide. Flick through it on your phone, scroll down on your tablet or print it out and leaf through the pages, scribbling notes in margins. We found it fascinating to write and we know that you’ll find it exciting to read!

If you’re not sure what to do when you get to India, or are still deliberating about whether to go, we’ve picked out the highlights of the country and the not-to-miss experiences to inspire you. Go on the hunt for sightings of elusive tigers, watch the dawn mists slowly burn away to reveal the pearly dome of the Taj Mahal, haggle for spices in a local market, dodge sacred cattle as you make your way through ancient cities, sip tea in the rolling hills of Darjeeling… the opportunities are endless and India is waiting for you to explore it.
