Read the following guidelines to ensure a hassle free, safe travel :

• All foreign citizens require a valid passport to enter India, and that passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel.(Please note that although adult passports are valid for a full ten years, children’s passports require renewal every five years.)
• Your passport must also contain at least two blank visa pages. If you are a United States citizen and do not have a valid passport, please contact the closest U.S. passport agency or consult the U.S. State Department website for detailed information.
• In addition to a valid passport, and as noted in the Summary of Purchase you received confirming your reservation, all foreign citizens are also required to have a visa to enter India. Please note that this visa must be processed within six months of your arrival. Your Summary of Purchase also indicated various options on how to obtain your visa. To review (and if you are currently within the parameters of the timeframe noted above), you may elect to work with a visa-assistance provider of your choosing.
• There is also an option of e-visa that can be applied at www.indianvisaonline.gov.in. You can obtain a visa single entry valid for 30 days.
• All foreign citizens should check with the Indian Embassy or Consulate to determine necessary travel documents.
• It is a good idea to carry a photocopy of the photo page of your passport in a place other than with the original, and to leave a copy of all your travel documents with a friend or relative at home.

Your journey to the subcontinent is very active. You should be in your best of the health and able to walk moderate distances over varied terrain. Various modes of transportation will be used to highlight different aspects of India’s culture and geography, including airplane, train, motor coach etc.

There is a significant amount of travelling during this journey; however, the pace of the itinerary has been carefully planned to intersperse sightseeing with leisurely days to ensure you have a most enjoyable time.

This Dizkvr itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in India on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Dizkvr journey if any. Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters.

• Guests should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in India, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues. The responsibility of the Dizkvr experience officer is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
• Due to the ancient nature of several of the sites you will visit during your sojourn in India, stairs and walkways are sometimes dark, uneven, steep and/or slippery.
• Public toilet facilities are rare. You are encouraged to take every opportunity to use a clean toilet in places such as hotels and restaurants. Most hotels catering to an international clientele provide western style restroom facilities.
• Always keep mosquito repellent with you and be sure to pay special attention to mosquito protection between dusk and dawn.
• Smoking is not permitted on the motor coaches. Hotels in India do not always have designated non-smoking rooms, but your preference will be forwarded to the hotels and every effort will be made to accommodate your request, although it cannot be guaranteed.
• Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
• If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify Tauck as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

Some of the cities visited on this itinerary may require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases in order to enter the country. These requirements are subject to frequent change as outbreaks occur and subside in different areas, and it is, therefore, crucial that you obtain the very latest information on entry requirements as you prepare for your journey.

• Visit the web sites for the embassies of the countries you will be visiting. Besides providing details on vaccination requirements, these sites can also provide information on vaccinations that may be recommended (but aren’t required) and other potential health issues for which no vaccines are available.
• Any decisions relating to your health, of course, should not be based solely on the information provided by a web site.It is critically important that you consult with your personal physician prior to your journey to obtain any required vaccinations and to review any optional recommendations.
• Ensure to discuss your journey with your physician at least four to six weeks in advance of your departure, as certain vaccinations take time to become fully effective. Also, be certain to ask your physician for proof of any vaccinations you receive, and to pack this proof along with your other travel documents in your carry-on luggage (not in your checked luggage).
• Researching and complying with vaccination entry requirements for the countries visited on this itinerary is the responsibility of the traveller and not Dizkvr. Dizkvr is therefore not responsible for any expenses incurred or disruptions to travel caused by improper or incomplete vaccinations, or by the failure to provide proof of required vaccinations.

Note : If you do not obtain the necessary vaccinations and proper documentation, you may be denied entry into one or more countries, or temporarily quarantined until the necessary vaccinations are administered, or until proper documentation is provided.

While on the road, commuting from one destination to another, driving is generally at around 75-80 kilometres per hour on the main highways. The speed is slower on lesser roads and through towns, and it’s not uncommon to be travelling at only 40-50 kilometres per hour. Furthermore, the driving style is different. There is a lot of overtaking of slower vehicles, more ‘honking of horns’ and at times what may feel like a precarious situation to westerners. Tour drivers are very experienced and well adept in managing this driving style. For anyone anxious about this, you should talk to us before you confirm your booking.

It’s regular that our trips include a number of group dining experiences. There’s nothing better than to share a meal with new friends and discuss the day’s adventures.

• Daily breakfast is included and lunches and dinners as specified by the itinerary.
• Meals are a blend of Indian and international cuisine. If you do not like Indian food, you will have limited choices in most destinations except most breakfasts have some western choices. There are meal options that are tasty but not overly hot in taste but spices are used in the majority of Indian meals. To a western palette it may seem repetitious, if you are not accustomed to eating a lot of Indian food. This is all part of the experience – to eat like a local. However, we would try our best to make this experience extremely comfortable to you.
• The traditional cuisine of North India is Hindu vegetarian. Whilst meat is also available at many top end hotels, we encourage travellers to also indulge in the wide range of delicious vegetarian dishes available.
• We advise travellers against street food and that you only dine at places that are recommended by your guide or escort/leader. By following best advice it’s far less likely that you will become unwell with any stomach complaints.
• Ensuring your best of the health, you must only drink bottled water and only bottled water from reliable sources. Also, use bottled water for brushing teeth. Most hotels have bottled water included in the room for the purpose of brushing teeth.
