There are few more exotic
holiday destinations than
India. The options that it offers
are as varied and exciting as
the country itself.
royal resorts
India’s amazing diversity offers you
everything you could ever want in a holiday.
Bounded by the majestic Himalayan ranges
in the north and edged by a spectacular
coastline. Surrounded by three seas, India
is a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes,
magnificent historical sites and royal
cities, golden beaches, misty mountain
retreats, colourful people, rich cultures and
festivities.
At any time of the year India offers
you a dazzling array of destinations
and experiences. In summer, when
the subcontinent is sizzling, there are
spectacular retreats amidst the heady
beauty of the Himalayas or the lush heights
of the Western Ghats with cool trekking
trails, tall peaks to conquer or stretches of
white water for the adventure seekers.
sands, lush, green tea plantations, the
spellbinding Taj Mahal and temples; as
well as Kerala’s gorgeous beaches and
backwaters, tropical rain forests, wildlife
sanctuaries and colourful festivals. Here
you will find nature at its most beautiful
and man-made monuments at their most
spectacular.
India is a pot-pourri of many different
cultures and beliefs, and boasts some of
the world’s most famous handicrafts and
exquisite hand woven fabrics. Ancient
history, a maze of ancient temples, myths
and legends, friendly people, piquant food,
delicious sweets and a variety of spices,
makes India one of the world’s most
magical holiday destinations.

for every taste, Goa’s palm-fringed golden

Climate
India is so vast that the climatic conditions in the far
north have little relation to that of the extreme south.
While the heat is building up to breaking point on the
plains, the people of Ladakh will still be waiting for the
snow to melt on the high passes.
Clothing
Many foreign travellers wear Indian clothes while in
India. Casual light clothing is mostly suitable to India’s
climate. The best-known Indian clothing is the Sari.
Another popular costume is the Salwar Kameez with
loose pyjama-like trousers and a long loose tunic.
When travelling to any of India’s hill stations some
warm clothing is recommended as the evenings can
become quite cool.
Credit Cards
Credit cards are widely accepted in India particularly
Diners Club, MasterCard, American Express and Visa.
Although its usually not a problem to change travellers
cheques upon production of your passport, its best to
stick to the well known brands - American Express,
Visa, Thomas Cook, Citibank and Barclays.
Currency
Rupee = 100 paisa
Customs & Entry
Virtually everybody needs a visa to visit India. The
application is (in theory) straightforward and visas
come in a variety of types from 15 days to six months.
32
resort profiles
Only six months visas are extendable. The cost of visa
varies depending on your nationality and you should
allow plenty of time in which to obtain it.
Driving
Theoretically vehicles keep to the left. In practice, most
vehicles keep to the middle of the road because there
are fewer potholes in the middle than on the sides.
When any other vehicle is encountered the lesser
vehicle should move to the side. Although vehicles
can be driven with bald tires or nonexistent brakes, it
is imperative that the horn should be in good working
order. All in all driving is no great pleasure except in
rural areas where there’s little traffic.
Electrical Voltage

Public Holidays
Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti Day,

Public Transportation
Road, rail and air service links all major cities, with
buses and trains running regularly between many
towns.
Taxis
There are many taxis and auto rickshaws, particularly
in the towns and cities. They are metered but getting
metered fare is rather a different situation. It is usually
best to negotiate a price before you start.

Medical
Foreign travellers to India should vaccinate against
yellow fever, cholera, typhoid and polio. Malaria tablets
are also recommended - check with your local doctor.
A travel insurance policy to cover theft, loss and any
medical problems is a wise idea.
Tipping
A service charge is often included in restaurant and
hotel bills. If you do wish to reward someone for good
service then 10% is the normal rate.
Photography
Colour print film is readily available in India and
developing and printing facilities are not hard to find
in most cities. They are usually cheap and the quality
is usually good.
Tourist Information
There are government tourist offices in most major
cities and every town usually has its own tourist
information centre.
Water
Tap water is not fit for drinking, so always use the
bottled variety.

Jaipur – the fabled pink city
of the desert, named after
one of the greatest rulers of
the Kachhawaha clan (the
astronomer king Jai Singh,
the former Maharaja of Jaipur)
is an exotic destination for
those with a keen interest in
Indian culture, history and
architecture; Jaipur is a jewel
waiting to be explored.
royal resorts
The pink colour was used at the time of building
to create the impression of the red sandstone
buildings of the Mughal cities – and repainted in
1876 for the visit of the Prince of Wales. Today,
every home within the city is obliged by law to
maintain this façade. Houses with pink latticed
windows line the streets, and look almost magical
at sunset.
Jaipur is surrounded by hills and dotted with forts,
and is one of the links to the famed Golden Triangle
of North India along with Delhi and Agra. Jaipur
also serves as the most convenient entry point to
Rajasthan, India’s most colourful and vibrant state.
An extremely well planned city, Jaipur was designed
by an engineer and scholar Vidyadhar Bhattacharya,
in accordance with ancient Hindu treatise on
architecture, the Shilpa Shasta. It was planned on
a grid system with wide straight avenues, roads,
streets and lanes and uniform rows of shops on
either side of the main roads. Jaipur remains the
only place where the nine sectors that sub-divide
the city symbolise the nine divisions of the universe.
Jaipur is surrounded by a wall having seven gates
and was built for protection from invading armies
and wild animals that lurked just outside in the
jungles that surrounded the city.
The Old City is a wonderful place to wander around.
Jaipur’s regal heritage is evident in its architecture
and culture. Beautifully laid out gardens and parks,
attractive monuments and marvellous heritage
hotels, once the residence of Maharajas are
testaments to the Rajasthan of yesteryear.
The arts and crafts of the state are amazing and
you will find elaborately fashioned jewellery, multicoloured ‘bandhini’ fabrics, richly decorated
handlooms, and other trinkets at the colourful
bazaars of Jaipur. Visiting the bazaars is a lot
of fun, not just for the shopping, but also for the
cheerful people in their traditional costumes.
This buzzing metropolis is certainly a place of
wild contrasts and a feast for the eyes. Jaipur
has massive forts, magnificent palaces, exquisite
temples and marvellous gardens. All throughout,
Jaipur has retained its strong Rajputana flavour
tempered by several influences - the mughal being
the most prominent. Jaipur is an intriguing and
remarkable experience.
