Getting into India

Getting into India

Getting into India in 2026, you need to plan how you will get there, when to go for the best prices, and what papers you need to show at the border. Here is a very simple guide to help you understand the process of Getting into India.

1. How to Get There: Planes and Land Borders
Most people choose to travel to India by plane. India is a very large country, and flying is the fastest and easiest way of Getting into India.
Arriving by Plane:
Most international flights land in two main cities: Delhi (in the north) or Mumbai (on the west coast). These airports are very big and have the most staff to help you with your bags and passport.
  • From the USA and Canada: You can find direct flights (no stops) from cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. Airlines like Air India and United fly these routes.
  • From the UK: There are many flights from London. You can fly directly to Delhi and Mumbai, but also to southern cities like Bengaluru or Chennai.
  • From Australia: There are now more direct flights than ever before, mostly going from Sydney or Melbourne straight to Delhi.
Arriving by Land:
If you are already traveling in nearby countries, you can walk or drive across the border. This is another option for Getting into India.
  • From Nepal: This is the most common way for tourists to enter India by land. Most people use a crossing point called Sunauli. It is a simple way to get from places like Kathmandu to Indian cities like Varanasi.
  • From Other Countries: Crossing from places like Pakistan or Bangladesh is possible, but it is much harder. There are many more security checks, and sometimes the borders close without much warning. Always check the official government website before you try Getting into India by land.
2. When to Go: Weather and Flight Prices
The price of your plane ticket changes a lot depending on the time of year and the weather in India.
  • Best Weather (November to March): This is the “Peak Season.” The weather is not too hot and not too rainy. Because the weather is so nice, many people visit, so plane tickets are most expensive. If you want to go during these months, try to buy your ticket 4 or 5 months early.
  • Hot or Rainy Weather (April to October): During these months, tickets are usually cheaper. April and May are very hot, and June and July are very rainy (this is called the Monsoon). If you don’t mind the rain, you can save a lot of money.
  • Festival Times: Be careful booking during Diwali (usually in October or November). This is a massive holiday. Even if the weather is hot, flight prices go up because many people are flying home to be with their families. Planning your trip helps make Getting into India easier and cheaper.
3. What You Need: Passports and Visas
You cannot just show up in India; you must have your paperwork ready before you get on the plane.
  • The Visa: This is a special permit to enter the country. Most people get an e-Visa online. It is fast and you get it through your email. If you want to stay for a very long time or work in India, you need a “Regular Visa,” which is a sticker they put in your passport. This is a key part of Getting into India.
  • The Passport Rule: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land. If it expires sooner than that, the airline will not let you on the plane. You also need at least two blank pages in your passport for the entry stamps.
  • The e-Arrival Form: Starting in late 2025 and continuing through 2026, India has a new rule. Before you land, you must go online and fill out the India Digital Disembarkation (e-Arrival) form. This tells the government who you are and where you are staying. Doing this online saves you from waiting in long lines at the airport and makes Getting into India smoother.
4. Helpful Tips for When You Arrive
  • Money and Phones: If you have more than $5,000 in cash, you must tell the customs officers at the airport. Also, do not bring a satellite phone. They are illegal in India and can get you into a lot of trouble with the police.
  • Getting to Your Hotel: When you walk out of the airport, many people might ask if you need a taxi. The safest way is to look for a sign that says “Pre-paid Taxi. “You pay a fixed price at a small booth inside the airport, and they give you a ticket. This way, you don’t have to worry about the driver charging you too much money.
