Thank you for some more useful information.

We will be on our way soon,

Reading conflicting information on whether we can take rupees in or not, anyone know what the rules are?

Thanks

Tim

Hi Tim,

India has a closed currency so travellers are restricted from taking currenncy into the country. You can take cash and/or a bank card with you to exchange or withdraw rupees once in India. The Tour Manager on your trip will be able to advise the best places to get your currency.

Thanks for posting. Good to have that info. I hadn't seen your post til Kedi told me.

Look forward to hearing about your adventures on Invitation to India. Hope your sunrise visit to the Taj was the day after Mr Trump's visit.

Best wishes

I am in Jaipur at the moment. We arrived in Delhi last Saturday  on the BA flight about 0900 and were taken to The Grand hotel. Our rooms were ready when we arrived.  We are going  to the stepweĺl in the afternoon. Peter

Thanks Peter

Hope you are enjoying the first half of your holiday - won’t be long before we join you in sunny India!  🙂

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Hope you are having a fab time in India.

I'm doing the tiger trail.  

Can't wait to get to India.. I need Vitamin D and warm weather.  

See you on Friday.

Normally, the hotel in Delhi is able to accommodate our groups early arrival and travellers are able to use the rooms straight away. However, it cannot be guaranteed as the hotel may still have guests from the previous night.

Kindest regards,

Julia

Many thanks - would be good to grab a shower before heading out into the city.
