Getting to New DelhiTravel
Airport

Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) serves New Delhi. Taxis are available directly outside the terminals, and app-based cabs can be booked in advance. Hotel transfers can be arranged once the festival hotel is confirmed.

Visas

Most visitors need a visa to enter India. Many nationalities can apply for an e-Visa online; check the requirements for your passport well in advance and allow time for processing. INMA can provide a letter confirming your registration on request.

Getting around

Study tour participants travel together by coach. In the city, app-based cabs and the Delhi Metro are the easiest ways to get around.

Delhi in JulyWhat to expect
Weather

Daytime maximum temperatures usually average around 35°C (95°F), with the potential to reach 38–40°C (100–104°F). Night-time minimums are typically around 27°C (81°F). July is one of Delhi’s wettest months, so expect monsoon showers.

What to pack

An umbrella for the frequent rain showers, light cotton clothing to stay as cool and comfortable as possible, and plenty of liquids to stay hydrated.

What to see

If you have a spare half-day: India Gate, the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb and Sunder Nursery, Qutb Minar, Lodhi Garden, the National Gallery of Modern Art and the National Crafts Museum.
