Survival in India

India is a beautiful country with a rich culture and it is located in South Asia.

It is home to one of the most spectacular buildings in the world – The Taj Mahal and the capital, New Delhi, is one of its most popular tourist destinations.

Perhaps the most popular airline which operates flights from the UK to India is British Airways.  As ever we recommend that you spend time to search and find a cheap flight to India online.  Web offers can save you hundreds of pounds on long haul flights.

Despite being home to some of the most spectacular monuments and buildings in the world, India has its share of problems such as terrorism, crime and political unrest.

Here is some practical information so that you can avoid problems when in India. Like in all foreign countries, you should take particular care of your personal belongings such as passport, money and ATM cards when travelling by bus or train. It is a good idea to have a spare photocopy of your passport, Indian visa and flight ticket, which you should keep separate from the originals. When travelling by train, beware of accepting drinks or something to eat, as some travellers have been drugged. It is also unadvisable to go out late at night, and you should be aware that alcoholic drinks are usually stronger than those in the United Kingdom.

All travellers should make an appointment with their doctor before travelling and make sure they have any required vaccinations.
