BEFORE YOU GO

Please check full details on the testing and entry requirements to enter the country.

TRAVEL INSURANCE – Travel insurance is mandatory in case of lost or damaged items or injury. All our tours are in major cities, so you should be covered by most hospitals and travel insurance policies, but do check with your provider. Please check with your insurance provider on any excluded policies or supplementary cover options available relating to COVID-19.

VISAS AND PASSPORT – All travellers will need a passport valid for at least 180 days following your entry date Into INDIA. Make sure your passport has blank Visa pages. Check https://indianvisaonline.gov.in for Visa requirements for all nationalities.

PACKING – Be sure to pack your favourite summer clothes – we also recommend packing a portable charger, any medication needed and your own reusable water bottle! Don’t worry about bringing a sleeping bag as we provide all of the linen.

BUDGETING – To help you make the most of your trip in this beautiful country, we recommend $20 per day to cover your drinks, plus a little extra for your personal shopping expenses

SAFE & RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

As we continue to welcome guests from around the world, we remain committed to ensuring safe, seamless, and enriching travel experiences across India. The wellbeing of our guests and staff has always been at the heart of what we do. Feeling secure allows you to explore, relax, and immerse yourself fully in the experiences that make travel truly meaningful.

Our teams and partners follow the highest standards of hygiene, hospitality, and safety. From carefully selected hotels to reliable transport and guided experiences, we prioritize your comfort and peace of mind throughout your journey.

TRAVEL ADVICE AND COUNTRY INFO : We stay continuously updated on travel advisories, safety guidelines, and local regulations to keep you informed and ready for a smooth experience. Our coordination with official state and tourism bodies ensures you receive accurate and timely information during your travels.

HEALTH & WELLNESS SUPPORT : Should you need any medical assistance during your stay, we can connect you with trusted healthcare facilities and services at every destination. Our goal is to make sure you feel as cared for and comfortable here as you do at home.

TRAVEL TIPS

BE SUN SMART : Time spent outdoors means time spent in the sun. Be sure to wear a high factor sun cream. We also recommend you wear a hat whilst we are on our tours.

STAY HYDRATED : After a big day of travel and mingling you may not realise how dehydrated you’re becoming! You will always have access to bottled water wherever you are, so please make sure you drink a lot of water to avoid getting heat stroke.

DRINK RESPONSIBLY : We want everyone to have the best time when on holiday with us and that will surely include sampling some amazing local drinks and cocktails on offer! But we do ask that everyone drinks responsibly and looks out for your fellow friends and crew!

SOCIAL DISTANCING & MASKS : We recommend you stick to your group bubble and wherever possible when out and about, follow social distancing guidelines as recommended by the government. Please do also bring a mask as this is required on all public transport and in enclosed indoor spaces.

STRIVING FOR SUSTAINBILITY AND LESS WASTE

At Immersion India we are committed to continuous improvements in environmental, economic & social sustainability and want to ensure we all travel more responsibly. Here are some ideas on how you can help us leave smiles not waste.

REDUCING POINTLESS PLASTICS : One of the biggest environmental issues today is plastic. We ask that you minimise your use of plastic whilst on holiday with us by packing a reusable tote bag to use when shopping and also saying no to pointless plastics during the trip.

We also ask that you pack a reusable water bottle for the trip!

TOILETRIES : If you can, please bring products that are eco-friendly – like sun creams, soaps, deodorants and so on. We want to make sure we are keeping our surroundings as clean as possible for our future guests (and generations)!

SUPPORT THE LOCALS : We are lucky to be able to work with some amazing local providers; who you will meet during your tours at restaurants, bars and also during any activities. The best part is that by doing this, you are not only supporting sustainable travel but by avoiding tourist hotspots, you will keep your travel budget intact.

DAILY LIFE

WATER : Please conserve water when we are away from a water supply! It is best practice to adopt an on/off approach to taps when washing and showering. And don’t worry about getting thirsty, Immersion India will provide you with bottled drinking water!

POWER : Power will be available in the rooms as well as on the bus. You should be able to charge your devices when you are at the Hotel rooms.

Please note: Do carry a multi-pin socket that could be used for two pin and three pin plugs.
