MONEY
Most urban centres have ATMS. Its wise to carry cash or travellers cheques as back-up. MasterCard and Visa are the most widely accepted credit cards.
VISAS
Most people travel on the standard six-month tourist visa. Tourist visas are valid from the date of issue, not the date you arrive in India.
MOBILE PHONES
Getting connected can be complicated in some states due to security issues. To avoid expensive roaming costs get hooked up to the local mobile-phone network.
DRIVING
Dont do it. Hiring a car with driver doesnt cost a fortune and India has expansive rail, bus and air connections.
Your Daily Budget
Prices (especially accommodation) vary widely across the country consult regional chapters for on-the-ground costs.
BUDGET
Stay at cheap guesthouses with shared bathrooms, or hostels.

Arriving in India
Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata
Indias major international airports have prepaid-taxi booths. These enable you to book a fixed-price taxi (including luggage), thus avoiding commission or other scams. Some terminals also have train, bus and/or autorickshaw options. Many hotels will arrange airport pick-ups with advance notice. These are often complimentary with top-end hotels. For further details, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.

Why Go?

Keralas thoughtful pace of life is as contagious as the Indian head-wobble just setting foot on this swathe of soul-quenching green will slow your stride to a blissed-out amble. One of Indias most beautiful and successful states, Kerala is a world away from the frenzy of elsewhere, as if India had passed through the Looking Glass and become an altogether more laid-back place.

Besides its famous backwaters, rice paddies, coconut groves, elegant houseboats and delicately spiced, taste-bud-tingling cuisine, Kerala also proffers azure seas, white crescents of beach, and evocative ex-colonial trading towns. Then there are the mountainous Ghats carpeted by spices and tea plantations, home to wild elephants, exotic birds and the odd tiger; and crazily vibrant traditions such as Kathakali a blend of religious play and dance; kalarippayat a gravity-defying martial art, and theyyam a trance-induced ritual. The main problem a visitor might find here is choosing where to linger the longest.

When to Go
