Before you go
Planning your trip
A few practical basics — getting in, getting around, and timing your visit around India's climate.
✈ Arrival
Getting here
Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM) and Bengaluru (BLR) are the main international gateways, with Air India, IndiGo and dozens of foreign carriers flying in directly.
🚆 Transit
Getting around
Domestic flights cover long distances fastest; the rail network links almost every city; metro systems now serve Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and more.
☀ Timing
When to visit
October to March brings cooler, drier weather across most of the country. Head to the hills in summer, and to Ladakh only between June and September, when its passes are open.
