Hello Kathleen,

Apologies for my reply being longer than 24 hours. As stated, weekends do take a little longer as I dont work every weekend.I have gathered all the information requested....

The length of the flight from London Heathrow to Delhi is approx 9 hours.

You have picked a great time to travel to India. Apparently the wether in the summer is unbearably hot! Winter is dry, warm and sunny.

Average temperatures are as follows:

Delhi 24-28 degrees, sunny

Agra 20-24 degrers, dry and warm

Jaipur 15-24 degrees, bright and sunny

Evenings can get a little chilly especially in Jaipur, so be sure to take a couple of cover ups.

The dress code in all hotels is casual, but I would pack a few smart items for any exclusive restaurants you may visit.

Essential vaccintaions for your visit are:

Diphtheria

Hepatitis A

Tetanus

Yellow fever (may require a certificate of vaccination)

Malaria

Please ask your doctor about the following vaccinations that are 'sometimes reccommended':

TB

Hepatitis B

Rabies

Meningococcal menigitis

Japanese B encephalitis

You will need a India Visa, we can sort this for you at a cost of £47.50. Please ring our customer service department on 0870 252 8111 for more information.

This trip has a capacity of 14 people and is filling up fast so it is sure to be an experience. I hope this information has been of use to you. If you need anything else, please to not hesitate to ask.

Warm regards

Brilliant, thank you so much. I am very interested in the trip but a bit dubious about going single. What hours can I make a booking?
