FAQs

• Delhi: What Visa do I need for India & Nepal? Most travellers (everyone other than citizens of Nepal & Bhutan) need to get a 30-day e-visa when travelling to India. You can apply through the Government of India’s official website. Check out our visa guide for more info.Don’t forget - you’ll need this Ground Handler information when you apply for the e-visa:  Travel Scope India  Office No. 215, Qutab Plaza, Ashoka Crescent Marg,  DLF Phase 1, Sector 26, Gurugram, Haryana 122002, India  Phone: +91 124 499 9499For Nepal, everyone other than citizens of India need a visa. You can either get one on arrival. Or in some cases, you can get an e-visa (they tend to be temperamental though!). If you're applying on arrival, please bring passport photos and USD with you!
• Delhi: What are the luggage restrictions for India? You can bring one bag or suitcase of 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29”x 20”x 10”), with a max weight of 15kg (33lbs). Plus one piece of hand luggage suitable as a carry-on for flights. It might be a lower-than-normal weight allowance. But that’s the luggage limit for domestic flights. So remember to save some space for all that shopping!Got some overweight baggage? Don’t worry. You might be able to pay in cash for the extra weight. But you won’t be able to upgrade the luggage allowance before the start of the trip.
• Delhi: How do I make my way from Delhi Airport to the starting point? It’s simpler than you think! Once you exit the airport, look for the ‘Pre-Paid Taxi’ stall (with a yellow-sign). These taxis are run by the Delhi Police, and are very reliable. All you need to do is approach the counter and tell them you wanna go to ‘Green Park’ (that’s where our hotel is located, close to the metro station).
• Delhi: What currency do I need to visit India? The currency used in India is the Indian Rupee (?). Don’t forget to keep some cash in hand. But in case you forget, you’ll find ATMs readily accessible in cities.
• Kathmandu: Is there a Trip Manager on the trips to Nepal? If you’re on the Delhi to Kathmandu Quest trip, you’ll have a Trip Manager with you.For Nepal Trek & Temples and Nepal Trek Challenge there isn’t a Contiki Trip Manager because these treks are conducted by our trusted third party operator. But don’t worry, you’ll still have an experienced local guide with you.
