What vaccinations do I need to visit India?
Specialised travel-medicine clinics or your GP are your best source of up-to-date information. They will recommend the requirement for any vaccinations which may be required. Another good source of information is the NHS travel medicine website fitfortravel.nhs.uk. The key for travel vaccinations is to plan early. Most vaccines don’t give immunity until at least two weeks after they’re given and vaccines like diphtheria and tuberculosis require a three-month incubation, so visit your GP well before departure. Ask your GP or travel clinic for an International Certificate of Vaccination (sometimes known as the ‘yellow booklet’), which will list all the vaccinations you’ve received.

The bustling train stations, the chaos, the crowds, the resilience of everyday life and the countryside as you journey on an Indian train can immensely add to your experience. You do not have to compromise on travelling standards fully to get an Indian rail experience. The express trains offer air-conditioning with chair seats or sleeper cabins and toilets in each coach. Your seat or sleeper cabin will be reserved for you and your luggage will be ported across for you on the train. You can not expect European standards but reasonably good standard and service to make the journey comfortable and memorable.
