How to get India
|
|
By Air |
The major international airports in India, which
serve traffic from all over the world, are in Delhi,
Mumbai (Bombay), Calcutta and Chennai (Madras).
Airports tend to be on the outskirts of cities.
Pre-paid taxi services and auto-rickshaws are
stationed outside the terminus to get you into the
city.
|
|
By Rail |
Railways do not cut across international borders in
this part of the world except the Samjhauta (i.e.
"understanding"!) Express that runs between Amritsar
(India) and Lahore (Pakistan). However, in many
cases it is possible to travel till the border by
train.

|
By Road |
Except the Lahore-Delhi bus (4 times a week), there
are no cross border coach services. It is possible
to drive into India with the requisite paperwork in
order. Even driving in from Nepal now requires a
permit. Permits may be arranged through the Indian
embassy in your country.
|
|
By Sea |
Several international cruise lines include stopovers
at Indian ports. The popular destinations are Goa,
Mumbai, Kochi, Kozhikode, Calcutta and Chennai.
There are no regular passenger services; the service
between Rameshwaram (Tamil Nadu) and Sri Lanka has
been indefinitely suspended.
