India Restores E-visas for UK Tourists

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - Dec. 8, 2022 - PRLog -- In a much-welcomed move, the Indian Government has re-introduced e-visas for British citizens, with immediate effect.  The 30-day tourist visas costs US$ 25 + 2.5% bank charge and can be applied for at least 30 days prior to the departure date from the UK.

There is also an option to apply for one-year multiple-entry e-tourist visas, which costs US$ 40 + 2.5% bank charges, and these can be applied for at least 120 days prior to departure.

Comments Hugh Fraser, Founder of Corinthian Travel: "This is great news for our clients, many of whom have been itching to start travelling to India again. The process is very straight forward and the fee very reasonable compared with some countries.  And, of course, it is great news for all the people that rely on tourism to put food on the table."

Corinthian Travel offers over 40 recommended itineraries to India, from 8 to 33 days in duration, including the popular India: Jewel of the East.  The 13-day, luxury holiday, provides a captivating and magical insight into north India's extraordinary cultural heritage and diversity.

The privately chauffeured India tour begins in Delhi, to discover the city's grand Mughal and colonial monuments, before taking a flight to Varanasi – the sacred town that was regarded as older than history by Mark Twain.  Here, witness a mystical 'Aarti' ceremony on the banks of the Ganges and visit Sarnath, where the Buddha gave his first sermon after attaining enlightenment.

Next, fly to Khajuraho and admire the striking 10th century Chandela Temples, regarded as one of greatest masterpieces of medieval temple art in India, and cruise on the serene Ken River; before arriving in Agra to discover the imperious Taj Mahal.

Then, delve into Rajasthan, to discover a riot of colour; admire the ornate forts and palaces of Jaipur with their glittering mirror-work and lovely miniature paintings. Next, traverse the timeless rural countryside of Rajasthan where you will stay at a converted palace hotel from which you can discover the delights of rural India.

The luxury holiday concludes with two nights' R&R in Udaipur – one of the most beautiful cities in the world – with an opportunity to stay at the Taj Lake Palace Hotel – arguably the dreamiest palace in India.

The holiday costs from £1995 pp (two sharing a room) which includes private transportation throughout, 13 nights' B&B (plus one lunch and three dinners), domestic flights, sightseeing/entrance fees, and guides.  International flights not included.
