Frequently asked questions about unique stays in India

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in India?

    Beyond the Taj Mahal and the usual tourist hotspots, there are many hidden gems. Consider exploring the backwaters of Kerala, taking a houseboat trip through the serene canals and lagoons. Or, for a historical adventure, visit the ancient city of Hampi, with its stunning ruins and temples. For something completely different, explore the stunning landscapes of Ladakh, a high-altitude desert region in the Himalayas, known for its monasteries and breathtaking scenery. These are just a few examples; India has countless lesser-known places waiting to be discovered.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in India?

    The best airport for you depends entirely on your destination within India. Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) and Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) are major international hubs, offering numerous connecting flights. However, if you're heading south, you might consider landing in Chennai (MAA) or Bengaluru (BLR). Always check flight options and consider proximity to your final destination to choose the most convenient airport.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in India, cash or card?

    While card payments are increasingly common in larger cities and tourist areas, cash remains king in many parts of India. It's advisable to carry some Indian rupees, particularly for smaller transactions and in rural areas. Credit and debit cards are accepted at many larger establishments, but be prepared for some places to only accept cash. Digital payment apps like PhonePe and Google Pay are also extremely popular.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in India?

    Road conditions and driving habits in India can be challenging for visitors. Road quality varies significantly, from well-maintained highways to more rugged, less developed roads. Driving can be chaotic, with heavy traffic and diverse driving styles. It's generally safer to use organised transport such as trains, pre-booked taxis, or reputable car services rather than driving yourself, especially in unfamiliar areas.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in India?

    Report the loss or theft to the nearest police station immediately and obtain a copy of the police report. Contact your nearest embassy or consulate to begin the process of obtaining an emergency passport or travel document. You will also need to inform your airline and potentially your travel insurer.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of India?

    A week is a short time to experience the diversity of India, but a good itinerary might include a few days in Delhi to explore its historical sites like the Red Fort and Jama Masjid, then travel to Rajasthan to see the forts and palaces of Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur. This offers a blend of history, culture, and stunning architecture.
  • Where can you have the best weekend experience in India?

    For a weekend getaway, Goa offers beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and delicious seafood. Alternatively, Rishikesh, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, provides a spiritual retreat with yoga and meditation opportunities along with stunning natural beauty. The choice depends on your preference for relaxation or adventure.
  • What festivals in India are highly recommended for visitors?

    Diwali, the festival of lights, is a spectacular sight across the country. Holi, the festival of colours, is another vibrant and joyous celebration. These are national festivals, but many regional festivals offer unique cultural experiences. The timing of these festivals varies annually, so it's important to check the dates before planning your trip.
  • Does India have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    Yes, Uber and Ola (a local competitor) are widely available in major Indian cities. They offer a convenient and relatively affordable way to get around, although it's always wise to check the fare beforehand.
  • What’s the top spot in India for favourable weather conditions?

    The best place for favourable weather depends on the time of year. During the winter months (October to March), many parts of northern India have pleasant weather. However, for consistently pleasant temperatures throughout the year, the hill stations of the Himalayas, such as Shimla or Mussoorie, offer a more temperate climate.
