LANGUAGE
There are many distinct
languages and dialects in India. However, in the northern
region, Hindi and English are widely spoken. Road signs and
directions are posted in both languages.
CURRENCY
The national currency is
the rupee. It is divided into 100 paisas. Traveller’s
cheques are easy to cash and some banks in larger cities
have ATMs.
IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS
Visas are required. There
are three tourist visas available - a 15-day single/double
entry transit visa, a 90-day visa or longer six-month
multiple re-entry visa. Enquiries should be directed to the
nearest Indian embassy or consulate.
HEALTH
There is a good hospital
near Aman-i-Khás with qualified doctors in residence.
Jodhpur is also reasonably well equipped. Reasonable
precautions should be taken for hepatitis-A, malaria,
cholera and typhoid. Drinking boiled or bottled water is
often an adequate precaution for water-borne illnesses.
Guests should consult their doctor and arrange travel
insurance prior to departure.
