I'm in the process of planning a 1 month jaunt through the Indian subcontinent at the end of January. My vague plan is to fly from Bangkok to Male and see the Maldives before they sink then head back to Bangkok and onward to Dhaka, spend a few days there then head for Kolkata, have a 2 or 3 day look around, on to Colombo, stop there 2 or 3 days then head for Delhi, do some standard touristy site-seeing then flit off to Cairo for a short stop.

I have 4 weeks up my sleeve and I think that that…

Hi everybody,

after 3 years i was back in India this year and wanted to book a railway ticket online. I wanted to do it with Cleartrip as always. I am registered there and in the process of booking it said at one point: "invalid passport length".
The same happened when I tried to get a ticket at a railway station. The employees helped me out by putting my name with one of their passport numbers, so that the system agreed to print a ticket for me. It is of course a valid passport (got me into…

Help!!!! I am trying to register in the Indian railways website. I have completed all the steps except verifying with my mobile (cellphone) number. Every time I request an OTP the website says it has sent me a text, but none arrives. I have tried different mobile numbers to no avail. I am using UK country code 44 followed by my number leaving out the first zero. Anybody out there have any suggestions please, my holiday later this year relies on me travelling by train.
Thanks in advance

Hi

We notice that the 'Trekking In The Indian Himalaya' guide book is no long available to purchase through the Lonely Planet website. Is there anyone with a 2009 edition wishing to see theirs (green cover) or could direct us to a place which does?

Thanks

Hello
At 17th August I applied for Indian visa in Islamabad through Gerry’s dropbox. Day before yesterday I got an empty pasport without a visa. There were no any letters of rejection (Gerry’s staff said that in the case of decline it should be with the passport) instead. I checked my application number at the website, there’s written that it is still processing.
I was interviewed in Indian High Commission, it was okay. Previously I’ve been to India twice, had no overstay and any problems with…

Hi All,
I will be visiting Croatia this summer and was a little worried about the kind of treatment that I will get from the locals there. I was very happy and looking forward to visiting this beautiful country until I got a very rude reply from a hotel staff when I requested him to accept payment via credit card instead of cash. Because carrying a lot of cash is unsafe.
So this person replied very rudely that we accept cash only if you find another hotel which accepts credit cards stay there, :(
I…

Hello!
Has anybody positive experience about getting Indian visa in Jakarta, how was it?
Also as I know it's quite hassle-free to get Indian visa in Islamabad, but is it possible to do double-entry visa there if I'd like to go to Nepal and come back to India? Would the price be different or the same and would it be harder for me to do?
