Mumbai Travel Guide

First-time visitors to India should know five things before booking:

Visa: Most nationalities can apply for an Indian e-Visa online in 3–5 days. No embassy visit required.

Best time to visit: October to March offers the most comfortable temperatures across North India, Rajasthan, and Kerala.

Budget: Quality private tour packages start from $885 for 7 days, including hotels, guides, and transport — but budget an extra 
$50–80 per day for meals and personal expenses.

Health: No mandatory vaccinations are required, though hepatitis A, Typhoid, and tetanus are recommended by most travel doctors.

What to see first: The Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) is the ideal introduction — covering the Taj Mahal, Mughal history, and 
Rajasthani culture in 6–7 days. First-timers with more time can add Varanasi for spiritual depth or Kerala for natural beauty.

Memphis Tours handles all logistics, guides, and accommodation — making your first India trip completely stress-free. For more info, check out this guide.

You want.

3. Pay deposit & confirm: A 25% deposit secures your reservation. Once received, all hotels, guides, and transport are immediately

Your booking is fully confirmed only after Memphis Tours receives the deposit payment.

The standard deposit to confirm an India tour with Memphis Tours is 25% of the total tour price. During peak seasons — Christmas, 
New Year and Diwali — the deposit increases to 50% due to high demand for hotel and guide services.

Your deposit immediately secures all hotels, guides, and transport in your name. Accepted payment methods include major 
credit cards and bank transfer with no additional fees.

The remaining balance is due upon arrival in India to begin your tour.
