This section provides essential information to help you prepare for your journey to India.

All foreign nationals require a visa to enter India. We recommend applying for an e-Visa online, which is a simple process. Please ensure you apply well in advance of your departure date.

The local currency is the Indian Rupee (INR). Credit cards are widely accepted at hotels and major shops. We recommend carrying some cash for small purchases and local markets.

It's a good idea to consult your doctor about recommended vaccinations before your trip. Throughout the tour, we advise drinking only bottled water, which is provided at all hotels and on the train.

Pack  light, comfortable, and breathable clothing for your tour through Rajasthan and Kerala. Evenings on the Maharaja Express and at some hotels are more formal, so a few smart-casual or semi-formal outfits are recommended. Don't forget a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
