VISA
Ordinary Passport Visa required
Green Passport Visa required
Service Passport Visa required
India applies visas to all passports. For an India visa, you need to go to the consulate in person. Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the end date of travel and must not be older than 10 years. For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you for the visa application. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed and, if the relevant country applies visas to T.C. citizens, the visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, the responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since our guests under the age of 18 may be asked for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents by the police officer on duty at the country entry-exit points when traveling alone or with only one of their mother or father; we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be sensitive about this issue.
HEALTH
Those who regularly use medication are advised to bring more medication than they need with them, because not all kinds of medicine can be found in the country. In addition, if you have a serious health problem (heart, blood pressure, diabetes, etc.), it would be useful to carry a signed document from your doctor with you. Also, we recommend that you do not drink tap water and that you drink bottled water that you open yourself for the first time.

EXTRA TOURS & ACTIVITIES
Extra tours and activities are organized by the local agency we use with a minimum participation of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If the required number is not reached, the excursions cannot be carried out, or the prices, content, and vehicle to be used for the extra tour/activity may vary depending on the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of extra tours/activities may be changed by the guide depending on the open/closed status of museums, ruins, or venues in the places to be visited and on weather conditions.
ACCOMMODATION
During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at distances greater than the stated km. Triple rooms may be allocated according to hotel availability, and the bed provided for the 3rd person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are folding beds and sofa beds, participants are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible tightness in the rooms and the bed type in reservations for the 3rd person and/or children. Child discounts are valid for only one (1) child staying with 2 adults and matching the age group specified in the pricing section. Breakfasts included in the tour program and taken at the hotel are served according to the breakfast culture of the country and generally with a limited menu called continental breakfast, consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall allocated to the group.
CURRENCY
India's currency is the Indian Rupee. (INR)
It is useful to have US Dollars (USD) with you. Credit card use is also very common, but caution should be exercised against credit card fraud.
TIME ZONE
It is 2.5 hours ahead of Turkey. When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 14:30 in India.
TELEPHONE USE
All mobile phone operators can be used if your phone has international roaming enabled. However, there may be no network in some parts of the country.
CLOTHING AND ESSENTIAL ITEMS
We recommend that you bring T-shirts that you can easily put on and take off, short- and long-sleeved shirts, shorts and cotton trousers, comfortable walking shoes, and a light jacket for the evenings. In addition, you can bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs against possible noise, a camera, a video camera, and their chargers and spare memory cards.
FOOD CULTURE
Indian cuisine is close to our taste. Since we will have our meals at our hotel and in the best restaurants, you will not encounter any problems; in addition, we will have the opportunity to obtain bottled water everywhere we go. We must never consume food sold in the open or water flowing from the tap. Since the hotels where we will stay are high-level facilities in terms of health information, these risks are minimal.
ELECTRICITY
Generally 200-220 V is used. British-type three-pin sockets are used in India. Many socket types are compatible with the two-pin plugs we use. In places where sockets are not compatible, universal plug adapters sold in electronics stores can be purchased to avoid problems.
SHOPPING
One of the most important places for shopping in New Delhi is The Central Cottage Industries Emporium. This chain of stores, which has many branches, serves customers at fixed prices. Wood carvings, copper-embossed items, figurines, fabrics, and even furniture can be bought at very reasonable prices.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or obtaining a visa (for a visa-required destination/passport) does not mean that entry into the country will be granted. The passport police have the authority not to admit you into the country. Quheilan Tour is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger. Quheilan Tour is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the 28.09.1955 Hague Protocol. On scheduled and special flights, there may be a risk of delay, or the times may change before the current excursion and flight. Quheilan Tour is obliged to notify these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change. Children aged 0-2 do not pay airport tax and airport service fees. Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours organized for the general introduction of the cities, lasting at most 2-3 hours, without museum or archaeological site entrance fees, and conducted panoramically with guide narration from inside the vehicle. Quheilan Tour is not responsible if panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, cannot be carried out on the day and time of the tour because local authorities do not allow visits or entry, or due to closed roads because of any event, or when the tour becomes impossible due to weather conditions. Some tours may be conducted by public transport or on foot where possible at closed roads or points where vehicle entry is not permitted.
