Indian Visa: All non-Indian citizens need a visa to enter India. The correct Visa type for shooting purposes is a 'J' Visa. Processing time varies from 48 hours on a rush-request to 7 working days. You should have your permission from the Ministry in Delhi in-hand before applying for a 'J' visa. We will guide you through the process.

Importing of Equipment: Equipment can come in on a carnet, depending upon the type & other details that can be provided on request.

The hottest months of the year are April to June in Western & Southern India and May to July in Northern India. Winter is colder the closer you get to the Tropic of Cancer. Snow starts from the middle ranges of the Himalayas.

Driving: We don’t recommend that foreigners drive themselves. When you rent a car in India, it comes with a driver. That is the safest way to travel.
