About Delhi

Delhi is the practical gateway to North India. The Red Fort and Chandni Chowk's street food reward a few days in their own right, and the city is the natural connecting point for travellers heading on to Punjab, Rajasthan or the hills.

Visiting family in Delhi

The detail that matters when this is a family trip, not a holiday

How this trip usually works

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.

Documents & entry

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 readiness

Baggage & packing

If 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.

Key travel periods

Worth planning around if your dates fall within one of these windows

DiwaliChristmas–New YearUK summer holidays

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.
