India from France
Planning a trip to India as a French traveller
Flights, visa route, the months that suit French holiday patterns, and budgets quoted in EUR alongside rupees.
Flights
Non-stops from Paris CDG to Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, roughly 8–9 hours.
Visa
French passport holders are generally e-Visa eligible; confirm current categories on the official portal.
Best months
October to March for the plains; June to September for Ladakh and Spiti.
What French travellers should know
- Time difference is 3.5–4.5 hours, so jetlag rarely costs you more than one morning.
- Mid-range ground costs typically €65–120 per person per day.
- August holidays suit the Himalaya; Rajasthan and Kerala are far better in winter.
- French-speaking guides can be arranged in Rajasthan, Delhi and Kerala with notice.
Entry rules and safety guidance change. Check the official Indian e-Visa portal and France Diplomatie — Conseils aux voyageurs, Inde before booking.
