The All-Important Indian Tourist Visa
India, land of Bollywood, divine curry, divine cows and scents you will never ever forget, no matter how hard you try.
It’s also a huge draw for those that love to broaden themselves with new and unique experiences.
India does however absolutely require a visa to enter its borders. Passport control will send you back to your point of origin to get one (as opposed to giving you one upon arrival) if it doesn’t exist in your passport, creating a hassle and expense that can be easily avoided.
Our recommendation is this: make sure you have an Indian visa before going there.
I usually don’t start conversations telling people I’m “well-traveled”. Especially when I see websites like this around. I have however compiled a fairly good list of stamps in the passport, and because I interact with other world travelers both professionally and personally, I’ve got a pretty good idea of more amazing places I want to go.
This Friday, I thought I’d share a list of some of my favorite destinations in this wondrous world along with a few I still really want to get to. The list of course is abbreviated since I’d have to talk your ear off (perhaps over dinner?) to tell you all of them.
Recently I found about a great project going on in the western Indian city of Ahmadabad by an AirTreks client leaving for his trip: a truly one-of-a-kind restaurant that gives form to the elusive concept of Service. From its inception, Seva Café has been on a social mission: to help the local community by promoting good karma in the form of fine dining. Their restaurant is like none other I’ve heard of, operating inside values that are true to their community while delivering a social service model that other entrepeneurs can adopt. Theirs is to give back rather than to take profit, to help others rather than to simply serve themselves. A novel idea indeed!
