The return of e-visas, which were removed due to the pandemic, will make it easier, cheaper, and more convenient to travel to India.
E-visas cost less than traditional visas, can be processed in as little as 72 hours (vs. several weeks for traditional visas), and can be applied for online.
To celebrate, tour operators have responded with a range of holidays to India.
Exodus Travels has introduced a ten-day Highlights of Northern India which features a visit to the Pink City of Jaipur and Agra to see the Taj Mahal. There is an early morning boat ride along the ghats of Varanasi as well as a jeep safari in Ranthambore National Park to spot the elusive tiger.
