Visas: Six month multiple-entry visas are now issued to
most nationals regardless of whether you intend staying that long or re-entering the
country. Only six-month tourist visas are extendable. Be careful to check whether your
visa is valid from the date of entry or the date of issue.
Health risks: Cholera, dengue fever, dysentery, hepatitis, malaria,
meningitis (trekking areas only) and typhoid. Many of India's larger cities are
highly polluted and travellers with respiratory ailments may wish to take
precautionary measures.
