Hi there Sally,
Visa information will be included in the holiday information sent to you 15 weeks prior to your holiday.
Where it is necessary for you to send us your passport, we will normailly need this about 8 weeks before you go away. You should expect to be without your passport for up to a fortnight before you travel. If you do need your passport during this time, please contact one of our holiday advisors for advice.
I hope you have a wonderful time in India.
Kindest regards,
Julia
