Incredible India a land of diverse landscapes, from expansive plains and rugged deserts to the towering Himalayas. Its sacred rivers—the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Indus—have nurtured the roots of religion, culture, and art since ancient times. India’s story is a grand epic in world history, geographically divided into six regions : 1. North India, 2. South India, 3. East India, 4. West India, 5. Central India and 6. North East India. The country comprises 28 states and 8 union territories, with administrative divisions extending from states to districts, tehsils, and villages.
A valid passport and Tourist Visa are required for all foreign visitors to India. Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity and a minimum of 2 blank pages for stamps. Tourist Visas must be obtained before your trip.
To obtain your Indian visa, complete the application form, upload the required documents, and pay the fee. For a smooth application process, we recommend using the official government website: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html
Additionally, a special Inner Line Permit is needed for travel to certain remote Himalayan regions, including Spiti Valley, Ladakh, and Sikkim. We can assist you with obtaining the necessary permits and guide you through the process at the relevant government offices.
We believe that your safety and holiday enjoyment are very important and that the travel insurance is a must whenever you travel abroad. We also advise that all clients take out insurance in their country of origin, and this should include theft, loss of goods, medical emergency repatriation and cancellation of holidays. Your travel insurance must include sufficient cover for emergency medical evacuation, by air if necessary. Take time to confirm that all activities, excursions and destinations are included in your travel insurance. Be particularly careful of any altitude exclusions.
Before you travel anywhere it is advisable to have medical and accident insurance which covers you while you are away, as well as for emergency repatriation all the way back to your home town.
Vaccine recommendations for India can vary depending on current health advisories. It is important to consult your medical adviser / doctor at least 6 weeks before travelling concerning necessary immunisations. You will also find advice on the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office website, and other appropriate government websites.
However, commonly suggested vaccines for travelers may include :
| Hepatitis A | Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for all travelers to India. |

To ensure a safe and enjoyable visit to India, we want to inform you of some common health risks that travelers may face due to the local food, water, and climate.
| Diarrhea: | Diarrhea is the most common issue for travelers, often caused by unclean food or water. It's advisable to carry an antibiotic and an anti-diarrheal medication. If diarrhea occurs, staying hydrated is crucial. |
| Note: | For the first 2-3 days, we recommend sticking to light meals as your stomach adjusts to Indian cuisine. It’s also wise to bring electrolytes to manage potential dehydration. |
| Malaria | Malaria prophylaxis with mefloquine (Lariam), atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone), or doxycycline is recommended throughout India, including Delhi, except in areas located at high altitudes (2,000 meters/6,561 feet or above). Regions like Himachal Pradesh (including Spiti Valley), Ladakh, and other parts of the Indian Himalayas are malaria-free. However, it’s still advisable to bring mosquito repellent. You can easily find mosquito repellent or antiseptic creams at local pharmacies across India. |
Altitude sickness can occur when ascending to altitudes above 2,500 meters, particularly in the mountainous regions of northern India, such as Spiti and Ladakh Valley. Common symptoms include headaches, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, nosebleeds, and drowsiness. If you experience any of these symptoms, please inform your guide immediately so they can take appropriate action.
Local medical facilities may not comparable to those in your country, especially in more remote areas but still we have very good medical facilities in India. In the bigger cities we have a lot of government and private clinics. In the small towns or villages we have government hospitals and primary health care centers. Even travelling through the Himalayas we have hospitals throughout these valleys with basic Medical facilities of treatment. For psychiatric illness, specialized treatment may not be available outside main cities, while travelling through rural parts of India.
Hospitals will be available at all the major destinations during your tour.
There can be a luggage allowance of approximately 20 kg to 30 kgs per person on most international flights. This all depends on the airline that you are travelling with. Please check your airlines how much they permit you.

While travelling we recommend you to take the Minimum and light weight luggage that you require to take with you. For packing your luggage you can use the light weight suitcases / back packs or even the soft bag with trolley and tiers are recommended. These suit cases or bags are recommended one piece per person and the same one piece per person for the Handbag (luggage) is usually recommended and should not be larger .

Dress modestly and cover at least 75% of your body. Women should wear conservative clothing; avoid short tops, skirts, and shorts when visiting temples or mosques. Opt for cotton shirts or T-shirts with cotton trousers or knee-length skirts.
In the plains of India, light cotton clothing (shirts, T-shirts, pants, and shorts) will be suitable due to warm and pleasant temperatures. For the foothills of the Himalayas (e.g., Dharamshala, Shimla), bring woolen clothes including a sweater, jacket, waterproof layer, and a few inner layers. During the day, cotton clothing is ideal, but warm layers are recommended for cooler nights.
Respectful attire is required at religious sites like temples and gurudwaras. Avoid sleeveless tops and shorts; consider adding a cotton shirt over sleeveless tops when visiting such places. Remember to remove your footwear before entering religious sites.
For the plains of India and regions of Foothills of Himalayas, lightweight sandals or cool, comfortable shoes are ideal. However, a pair of good walking or trekking shoes is also recommended for hiking in the foothills of the Himalayas. Your regular training shoes, such as Nike, will work well, but ensure they have good grip for rough trails.
Tipping in India is a common practice and serves as a way to show appreciation for good service. While tipping is discretionary, it is considered a valuable gesture of encouragement for guides, drivers, and other service providers.
For group travelers, we recommend setting up a “tipping kitty,” where each member contributes a set amount at the beginning of the trip. This allows the tour guide to handle all tipping, including for hotels and drivers.
Individual travelers or those in small groups may choose to tip guides and drivers directly. Many hotels have a central tipping box or envelope, and your guide can provide information on this.
Consider giving extra tips to exceptional guides or drivers who have provided outstanding service. Avoid using small denominations (e.g., 10, 20, or 50 rupee notes); instead, offer a more generous amount to reflect their contribution effectively. Tip them reasonable.
As a general rule we recommend the following tipping guidelines for driver, guide, escort, bellboys and waiters in the restaurant. "If the same driver accompanies you for several days or weeks, it is not necessary to tip them daily. Instead, consider giving a single tip at the end of the tour as a gesture of appreciation when bidding them farewell."
| Local Guides : | ₹500-700 per day (total for the guide) |
| Tour Escort : | ₹1000-1500 per day (total for the escort) |
| Driver : | ₹400-600 per day (total for the driver) |
| Driver : | ₹200 per drive |
| Government Guide / Naturalist : | ₹200 per tour |
| Expert Naturalist : | 300-500 per game drive |
| For Hotel Porters : | a tip of ₹20-50 per bag or ₹50-100 for two bags is standard |
| In Restaurants : | A tip of 10% is appreciated for bills up to ₹4000 if no service charge is included. For bills over ₹4000, a tip of 5-7% of the total amount is suggested. |
| At Home Stays or Camps | tipping around ₹ 500 per day for the house staff is recommended. If no tip box is provided, give your tip to the host to distribute fairly. |
These amounts are guidelines, and you may adjust them based on the quality of service you receive.
Obviously this is very much a rough guide and you are completely free to give whatever you feel is appropriate.
The currency of India is the Rupee (INR / Rs or ₹). It is available in coins of ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10, and and ₹20 ,currency notes of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200, and ₹500.
Note : ₹2000 notes have been withdrawn from circulation as of September 30, 2023, so please do not accept them.
Larger notes, such as ₹500, can be challenging to exchange outside major cities. For convenience, carry smaller denominations like ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, and ₹100 for everyday purchases and tipping.
Euros, US dollars, and British pounds are accepted in some places. ATMs are available in major cities, and credit cards are commonly accepted at larger shops and hotels in urban areas, but not in small towns, villages and rural parts of India.
In India it is easy to change US dollars, Pounds sterling, or Euros into rupees. If you want Indian rupees, cash on arrival its best to get it at the airport. The moneychangers at airports are open 24 hours. Some hotels also provide money exchange facilities. In big cities, you will find several branches of International/ national banks which provide money exchange service, however in small towns it may be a big task to find banks providing money exchange service.
There are no restrictions on the amount of foreign currency or travelers' Cheque’s.
You can also use your credit cards and debit cards in ATM machines- But would be able to withdraw around 10,000/- Indian Rupees in One Time. ATM machines are available throughout the country except for some places in the Himalayas. While on your tour your tour escort / guide will assist in finding a bank or cash machine if you need it.
Major credit cards are increasingly acceptable in main city centers, though smaller cities and towns most of the time you have to pay cash at the small shops and restaurants.
If you plan to use a credit or debit card in India, it is suggested please to inform your bank that you are planning to travel abroad and will be using your cards. Some people have trouble using their cards abroad for security reasons but if you inform your bank they will lift any restrictions.
Note : Have a small amount of low denomination notes, while your travel to India in an easily accessible place for paying after using public toilets etc.(Rupees 10/ Rs 20 ).
Please Note : Do not leave your money /valuables in the bags or in the clothes, in the hotel rooms when you go for the sightseeing or day trips. Please use the safe provided by the hotels in the rooms or carry in your money belt with you.
Note : Many hotels may not provide room lockers, or their lockers might not be functioning properly. Be prepared for this possibility.

Communication in India is well-facilitated with modern options available throughout the country. However, connectivity can be limited in some areas, particularly in the Himalayan regions like Spiti Valley, Ladakh, zanskar, Sikkim where mobile signal might be unreliable for a few days.
Mobile phones are the most common form of communication. Most networks work throughout India, including many parts of the Himalayas. Verify with your network provider to ensure your phone will function properly in India.
Internet and Wi-Fi are widely available at hotels, often complimentar. Connectivity is generally good in hotel reception areas, but Wi-Fi and mobile signals can be weak or absent in rooms.
Postal services are also available for sending postcards and letters, including from remote areas in the Himalayas.
Jio, Airtel, and BSNL offer the best mobile coverage across India, with Jio and BSNL being more reliable in the Himalayan regions.
In the plains of India, the roads are generally flat and in excellent condition. However, in the hill regions, you’ll encounter winding mountain roads with a mix of well-paved stretches and rough patches.
India is expanding its infrastructure, so you might experience sections of roadwork as two-lane highways are upgraded to four or six lanes. When traveling through the Himalayas, expect to navigate high mountain passes, cross water streams, and traverse challenging terrain.
Rest assured, the roads are safe, and our drivers are highly experienced in handling Indian and Himalayan road conditions. They are skilled in maintaining vehicles and addressing any mechanical issues that may arise, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout your journey.
In the event of road blockages during your journey, government authorities will work to clear the roads within a few hours. If unforeseen circumstances arise, your guide and driver will suggest alternative routes ("Plan B") and adjust your itinerary accordingly, after discussing with you.
Typically, these adjustments will not incur additional costs. However, if the changes involve staying at a different hotel or additional travel, extra charges for transportation or accommodations may apply.
Please note that refunds will not be provided for unused hotel accommodations, meals, or transportation
Your guides / escort are knowledgeable about the region, and will be able to discuss the history of the region, culture and traditions of this beautiful country with you.
Our guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of high altitude as they come from this region, and they can therefore take better care of their clients. They are also trained in basic first aid treatments.
We advise against giving money to beggars, especially children. If you choose to tip someone, such as a physically challenged individual, a modest amount like Rs 10 or Rs 20 is appropriate. Ultimately, the decision to give is personal.
For a meaningful contribution, consider supporting a village school near Dharamshala through Summit Safari India.

This interaction allows you to ask questions and engage deeply with the local way of life.

In India, taxi and local guide unions occasionally experience sudden strikes or disputes without prior notice. In such instances, union members may block drivers or guides, causing disruptions to your travel plans. We will make every effort to arrange alternative solutions for your journey while prioritizing your safety and comfort. You’re understanding and cooperation during these situations are greatly appreciated.
At certain locations, including forts and palaces, local guides may be employed to provide specialized tours. In these cases, your escorting guide will act as a tour manager, coordinating and ensuring a smooth experience for you.
In the Indian Himalayan regions such as Leh, Zanskar, Srinagar, Sikkim, and Darjeeling, local taxi unions may enforce rules that restrict vehicles from other states, sometimes without prior notice. When this occurs, we may need to hire vehicles from local operators, which might not meet the high standards of our usual services. Please remain patient and understanding if such situations arise, as they are beyond our control and can be resolved as efficiently as possible.
