Taj Mahal from the water

Travelling to a country that is unfamiliar to you can be daunting at the best of times, and unless you are exceptionally daring, you usually spend many evenings trawling the internet to find out the essential information that you need to know before you go. What visas will you need for your holiday to India, and how easy is it to get currency or pay by card? Do you need vaccinations? What festivals could you come across on your travels? We’ve put an end to the stress by doing all the research for you and collating it in a beautiful and informative travel guide. Flick through it on your phone, scroll down on your tablet or print it out and leaf through the pages, scribbling notes in margins. We found it fascinating to write and we know that you’ll find it exciting to read!
