"Great Service and Value", "Exceed All Expectations", "Highly Recommend".India Travel FAQs
- How many days do I need in India?
Generally, how long it takes to travel to India depends on the breadth and depth of your visit. If you are planning to focus on the highlights of the "Golden Triangle" (covering the cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur), 7 to 8 days would be appropriate. If you want to have a better understanding of India, you can spend 2 weeks or more days exploring more charming cities in this country, such as Jodhpur, Udaipur, Varanasi, Kerala, Mumbai, etc., and even the Himalayas areas.
- Can I combine my visit to India with another country?
Of course. The most popular countries to combine with India tours are usually Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. Since different countries have their own specific entry requirements based on your citizenship, it is better for you to check certain policies and make plans in advance. Choose one of our sample South Asia tours for inspirations or simply contact us to customize a multi-country tour based on your interests.
- Is it a common practice to give tips in India?
Though tipping is not mandatory in India, it is considered as a gesture of appreciation for good service and it is certainly welcomed. Based on your satisfaction with the tour, you may tip USD 2-6 per traveler per day for a tour guide, USD 3-7 per traveler per day for a driver, and USD 2 for a representative or waitress at the hotel and restaurant. However, you may pay more or less depending on their services.
- Is it common to use credit cards in India?
Credit cards are widely accepted in India, especially in those most-visited tourist cities, like Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Mumbai. In many restaurants, hotels, cafes and shops, it is common to pay by Master Card and Visa. American Express is generally accepted by major hotels and restaurants. When you are outside of the large cities or at some small shops or stalls, it is recommended that you prepare some cash (rupees).

- Is it safe to visit India?
Good elements and bad elements co-exist in every part of the world. Generally speaking, India is a safe country as long as necessary precautions are taken. If you travel to those most popular cities like Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi, etc., what is required for a tourist is to take care of your belongings in crowded places. For tourists, it is suggested to avoid visiting those regions that experience ongoing issues, like the India and Pakistan border (except for the Atari crossing).
