Of late, the overland route to India has become very popular, but travelers should be sure to seek accurate information about border crossings, visa requirements and political situations en route.
Several "adventure holidays" companies arrange overland tours by bus to India. There is large network of bus services which connect all parts of the country, particularly regions where the trains do not run such as in very mountainous regions. Details of services and routes may be obtained from local Tourist Offices in India.
Taxis and auto rickshaws are available in large cities and fares are charged on a kilometer basis. These do not always have meters; where they do, insist on the meter being flagged in your presence.
Fares change from time to time and therefore do not always conform to the reading on the meter, but drivers should always have a copy of the latest fare chart available for inspection.
Tourist Cars:
There are a large number of chauffeur-driven tourist cars (some air-conditioned) available in important tourist centres in India.
These unmetered tourist cars run at a slightly higher rate than the ordinary taxis, and are approved by the Department of Tourism, Government of India.
Self-drive cars are also generally available at present.
Documentation:
A Carnet de Passage with full insurance and Green Cards are required by persons bringing their own vehicles into India. An International Driving License is recommended.
A temporary license to drive is available from local authorities on presentation of a valid British or Northern Ireland Driving License. Traffic drives on the left.
