Incredible India, with its rich cultural heritage and stunning wilderness and wildlife is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the world. Its spirituality is a beacon of hope that attracts travellers from all walks of life. Where some visit the country to experience its culture, others come to see exotic animals in the wilderness and embark on an Indian safari.
Tourists from neighbouring countries can travel over land to visit the country, but those across oceans and land masses are required to travel by air. We’ll take a look at some airlines, prices and major travel hubs from around the world.
