PLAN YOUR VISIT

Getting there: The main gateways to India are New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Additionally, travellers may fly in via other cities such as Chennai (Chennai International Airport), Hyderabad (Rajiv Gandhi International Airport), and Bangalore (Bangalore International Airport)

Getting around: India has an extensive train network that will get you where you want to go quickly, comfortably and affordably. For shorter distances, taxis and tuk-tuks are a good option, but you will need to use your best bargaining skills. For longer-distance cross-country travel, domestic flights are convenient, but if you have the time, taking the train is a much better way to enjoy the journey
