Delhi is most often a connecting point for UK family travel rather than the final destination. Onward trains or domestic flights to Punjab, Uttar Pradesh or Rajasthan are common, and should be priced and booked separately rather than assumed to be simple.
OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) cardholders do not require a separate visa. Standard e-Tourist or e-Business visas apply to other UK passport holders; apply at least 4 days ahead, and earlier still during Diwali or December.
Check your travel readinessIf your onward journey involves a domestic Indian flight, check the often stricter domestic baggage allowance separately from your international one. The two are frequently different, and it catches travellers out.
Worth planning around if your dates fall within one of these windows
Visa and identity document requirements change. Always confirm directly with the relevant high commission, embassy, or NADRA/OCI portal before booking, rather than relying on a previous trip.
