[quote=1981Kedi;513061]Thanks Vickie - perhaps another morning in the jungle then!

I booked the Classic Touring Tiger Trail holiday as it included a little classic sightseeing as well as 5 included safaris. Therefore I chose the stand alone Tiger Trail anticipating a tour in Dehli on arrival on Day 2 - this has now been moved to day three where a tour of Delhi and the step well has been shoehorned into an already full programme of travel and visits on Day 3. Now the anticipated tour of Mumbai at the end of the holiday has all but disappeared due to the late flight times.

I am concerned that the tour I have chosen has been compromised by becoming part of a combined tour. I am still hopeful that the Delhi/step well tour will be rearranged back to the original Day 2 of the tour for those arriving on the Tiger Trail. Having flown all that way I don't want to spend a day "at leisure" or indeed have to make costly private arrangements which may anticipate the tour on Day 3.

So - returning to the end of the holiday - [b]anyone fancy a couple of extra days in Mumbai? [/b]It is a shame that this is not offered as an add on - but of course that would not work with the combined tour!!!!

Having thoroughly enjoyed several trips to the Indian sub continent I am looking forward to having an interesting, enjoyable and full on experience.[/quote]

Thanks Peter, see you and Kim on Friday

Hi Peter

Thank you for some more useful information.

We will be on our way soon,

Kim Clark the TM asked me to say that she will meet you at the Grand Hotel in Delhi and is looking forward to meeting everyone. The local agent will meet you at the airport. When I arrived at Delhi I met the local agent in the arrivals hall who was displaying a JY sign . I changed some sterling for rupees there.We were taken to the hotel in a minibus. Kim and a couple of others had already arrived on a different flight as they would be going on to Kerala after our holiday.There were 2 other flights arriving around lunchtime with the others members of our group. Money can be exchanged at the hotel and today someone came on the coach to exchange money.Exchange rate was about 86 rupees to the pound.See you Friday.Peter

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

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.

Hi Peter

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

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,

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