About travelling in India

India is a country in South Asia made up of 28 states and 8 union territories, with New Delhi as its capital. Its range of landscapes and histories means very different trips: Mughal and Rajput forts and palaces in the north and west, colonial-era hill stations in the Himalayan foothills, Buddhist monasteries in Sikkim, tea plantations in the Western Ghats and the beaches and Portuguese-era churches of Goa.

Entry fees at many monuments are set by the Archaeological Survey of India or by state governments, and often differ for Indian citizens, visitors from SAARC and BIMSTEC countries and other foreign nationals. BukMyTrips lists each fee and timing with the source it came from and the date it was checked.
