Before you go

Entry and visas

Check India's visa rules for your passport before you book. With a Bangladeshi passport, start with the High Commission of India in Bangladesh, linked below. On another passport, apply only through India's official visa portal.

Health

See your doctor or a travel clinic a few weeks before you go. Use sun protection, drink plenty of water, guard against mosquito bites and take care with food and water.

Money

India's currency is the Indian rupee (INR). Carry cash for beach shacks, markets and taxis, and ask your bank what your card costs to use abroad.
