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, India boasts incredible hidden gems. Consider exploring the backwaters of Kerala by houseboat, experiencing the serenity of the Rishikesh Himalayas, or discovering the ancient cave temples of Ajanta and Ellora. For a unique cultural experience, visit the hill station of McLeod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh, home to the Dalai Lama's residence and a vibrant Tibetan community. Or, delve into the history and architecture of Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park in Gujarat, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
  • Which airport should one 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 hubs with extensive domestic and international connections, making them good choices for onward travel. However, if you're heading south, Chennai International Airport (MAA) or Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) might be more convenient.
  • 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, especially for smaller transactions and in more rural areas. Credit and debit cards are accepted in most larger establishments, but always have some cash on hand.
  • How would one describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in India?

    Road conditions and driving habits in India vary considerably. While major highways are generally well-maintained, many smaller roads can be poorly surfaced or congested. Driving can be chaotic, with a more relaxed approach to rules than in many Western countries. Exercise caution, use reputable taxi services or pre-booked drivers, and be aware of your surroundings.
  • What steps should one take if their passport goes missing in India?

    Report the loss immediately to the nearest police station 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. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents stored separately from the originals.
  • Where should one spend a week to experience the best of India?

    A week isn't enough to truly experience the diversity of India, but a good itinerary might combine the vibrant culture of Delhi, the majestic Taj Mahal in Agra, and the Pink City of Jaipur's forts and palaces. This offers a blend of history, culture, and iconic landmarks. Alternatively, exploring the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) offers a good introduction to Northern India's highlights.
  • Where can one have the best weekend experience in India?

    For a weekend getaway, Goa offers stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and delicious seafood. Alternatively, Rishikesh provides a spiritual retreat with yoga, meditation, and the opportunity for adventure activities like white-water rafting. If you prefer a city break, Mumbai offers a dynamic mix of culture, history, and modern entertainment.
  • 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 celebration. Kumbh Mela, a massive religious gathering, takes place every few years and is a truly unique experience. These are just a few examples, and the best festival for you will depend on the time of year you're visiting and your interests.
  • Does India have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    Yes, Uber and Ola (a popular local competitor) are widely available in most major Indian cities. They offer a convenient and relatively affordable way to get around, but it's always wise to check the app for availability in your specific location.
  • 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 enjoy pleasant temperatures. However, for consistently warm and sunny weather, Goa on the west coast offers a good option year-round, though it can get hot during the summer months.
