    India is culturally rich and dotted with diverse types of attractions in all the major parts. Some of the most popular honeymoon destinations in India that are worth considering include Goa holidays for Goa beaches and heritage sites, Kerala backwaters, Darjeeling for exotic hill views and Rajasthan for luxury holiday experience.

    In India, the popular golden triangle tour offers the Indian pomp in its most lively forms through an incredible view of forts and palaces, magnificent as well as ostentatious architectural buildings and a rich tradition of art and culture
    Golden triangle tour is an ideal pack of pleasure, offers you an incredible glimpse of the epitome of love "the Taj" & a hue of hospitality in the Pink city Jaipur. Trace the imperialism in the hustle-bustle of Delhi & jazz up your memory with a worthwhile tour.

    Hi Anil... you may be right...it is risky for the foreigner who does not take precautions. I only know 01 person ( a friend) whose ppt was actually stamped with a notation saying he cannot enter for 2 months. That was just a day or two after the rule came into effect. Poor guy went to CMB and stayed for a few days but had to fly out from there to the US to get a business visa to re-enter int india...

    Nayaz: The rule is still in place. You being a PIO with a foreign passport does not make the notion that this rule is scrapped. There is no update on mha.nic.in/pdfs/FAQ-TVisa280710.pdf. The IATA database that a gate-agent checks is what determines if you are allowed to board or not. Many foreign passport holders have been denied boarding @ LHR,KTM,CMB that I know of in the recent past. The only rule relaxed is the one month gap between expiry of one T visa and applying for another. To recap - Only foreign passport holders with Tourist visa have the 2 month gap between visits. PIO/OCI and other visa categories are exempt. There is a very exhaustive FAQs on the Ministry of Home Affairs website which addresses all questions pertaining to current visa regulations.

    Foreign passport holders who intend to use India as a base for tourism to neighboring countries have to apply in advance for an exemption to the two month rule.

    Max - the problem really is corruption at the top.. in every sphere of the Indians' life. World class events come once in a decade or in 2 decades. So the Indian psyche is - here's an opportunity to make money out of it.... be it the politician, contractor etc. It is a shame.... and as you rightly mention, India does have much to offer. Although it seems that they have rectified the basic issues of the tracks, housing etc. India has a demographic advantage but is not capitalizing on it the right way and i fear that it is going to get worse...

    What happens after the games will give us an indication.....
