Hi and I'm going to Kerala this week and getting super excited.  Anyone out there joining this trip on Thursday.  I think I'm ready but still confused about the currency and whether I should take rupees or sterling.  Any advice?

Hi Joanna,

I am so excited for you! I hope you have an amazing time.

Currency Information

The currency of India is the Indian Rupee (1 Rupee = 100 Paise). The import and export of local currency is prohibited. We recommend you take your spending money in Pounds Sterling or U.S. Dollars cash. You will be able to exchange your money in the hotels. Credit cards are widely accepted in India.

Please note Indian Rupees must be exchanged back before departure from India. Indian Rupees are not usually accepted for payment in duty free.

Optional excursions are to be paid for in pound sterling.

I hope this answers your questions.

Kind Regards,

Mildred.
