Getting around

India is best planned by region and city combination. Domestic flights are useful for long distances, while private cars with drivers are common for sightseeing circuits such as Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Trains can be a memorable experience but should be planned carefully. Airport transfers, private drivers and guided tours are recommended for families, senior travellers and first-time visitors. For multi-city travel, allow enough time between flights, train connections and road journeys.
