Rules in force · 6

South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.

South Haryana is the industrial and satellite belt of Delhi NCR, with Gurugram as the corporate hub and Faridabad as the manufacturing centre. The region holds Mughal-era monuments in Narnaul, birdlife at Sultanpur National Park, and historic towns like Rewari and Bhiwani. Most visitors sleep in Gurugram for its hotels and metro link to Delhi, or in Faridabad for quieter stays. Day-trips cover the rest.
