Absolutely Nepal is safe for travelers. Firstly, Nepal is considered as one of the peaceful countries in the world (chances are it’s safer here than your home-country). Secondly, while you’re on one of our trips, we take personal responsibility for your well-being, a responsibility we commit very seriously.

Depending on the type and validity of your visa, the visa fee for India differs. The fee also differs depending on which country you belong to. Not all country citizens pay the same visa fees. There are some countries like Argentina, Indonesia, Mauritius, Myanmar, South Africa, Uruguay and many more that are exempted from the Indian visa fees. The current visa fee for US nationals is US$150 for a period of up to 10 years with an additional processing fee of US$ 19.90. In general terms, the Indian visa fee is as follows (with the exception of some countries):

India is a massive country with limitless cultural experiences, vibrant festivals, eclectic culinary delights, historical landmarks, natural landscapes, and plenty of adventure activities.  India is an extremely attractive and architecturally affluent country filled with historical monuments, timeless mosques, elaborate palaces, striking forts, and numerous prehistoric ruins. Some of the most fascinating reasons why you must visit India are as follows:

  • To interact with the local people of India, mostly in the rural areas, who are some of the nicest and most generous people
  • To immerse in the exquisite beauty of Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world
  • To taste the delicious food preparations
  • To explore Varanasi, the oldest city of India on the banks of the Ganges River, the holiest river in the world
  • To visit the majestic forts and opulent palaces of Rajasthan
  • To ideally escape away in the palm-fringed golden beaches
  • To witness the religious commotions and spirituality
  • To visit the numerous rock sculptures, archaeological sites and monolith statues
  • To tour around the incredible wildlife

Normally speaking, India is mostly safe for tourists. You will find a lot of people ready to help foreigners especially at major tourist destinations. Intense crime isn’t common in this country, at least not with foreign tourists. Pickpockets and bag snatchers can be found in crowded places such as bus depot or train stations, so we highly advise to look after your belongings if you are in a public crowded place. Some people may try and scam you or extort money from you on various accounts. Although armed or violent robberies aren’t widespread, you should always remain cautious and plan ahead so that you don’t need to walk the streets alone at night. Female travelers should wear decent clothing such as ankle-length skirts and tops to avoid revealing portions of their skin. It may tempt an offender to commit misconduct if you are showing too much of your skin.

Although India is a relatively safe country, there are some threats a first-time traveler should be aware of. India is a tremendously large country and not all parts of the India are the same in terms of crime and safety. There are several places in the country that are free from crime and it is even safe to roam around the town at night.
