Overview of the Indian Visa Process: e‑Visa website: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/

1. Determine the visa type – most short‑term visitors need a Tourist e‑Visa.

2. Apply online – the Indian government uses the e‑Visa portal. You fill out the application, upload a digital passport‑size photo and a copy of your passport’s bio‑page (must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay).

3. Pay the fee – fees vary by nationality and visa length (typically $10‑$100). Payment is accepted via credit/debit card.

4. Receive the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) – within 3‑7 business days (often sooner). You’ll get a PDF emailed to you.

5. Print the ETA – you must present the printed document (or a clear screenshot) to immigration officers on arrival.

6. Arrival in India – at designated airports (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Kochi, Amritsar, Guwahati, and a few others) you’ll have your passport stamped with the visa. The e‑Visa is typically valid for 60 days from the date of entry, with a single or double entry depending on the category.

7. Extension (if needed) – Tourist e‑Visas cannot be extended. For longer stays, you must apply for a regular visa at an Indian consulate before traveling.

Clothing & Yoga Gear

• Yoga pants/leggings – pick breathable, moisture‑wicking fabrics so you stay comfortable in the studios.

• Loose tops or tunics – good for movement and also modest enough for temple visits.

• Light jacket or fleece – evenings in Delhi, Agra and Varanasi can be chilly in February.

• Warm layers for early‑morning sessions in Rishikesh – think a thermal base layer and a wind‑proof shell; sunrise yoga by the Ganges gets cold.

• Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers – you’ll be strolling through historic sites, so good support is key.

• Sandals or flip‑flops – handy for showers and casual evenings.

• Yoga mat (optional) – many centers provide mats, but if you prefer your own, a foldable travel mat works well.

• Micro‑fiber towel – dries fast and is easy to pack.

• Modest clothing for temples – long skirts, loose shirts, or a sarong to cover shoulders and knees.

• Sun protection – a wide‑brim hat, sunglasses, and SPF 30+ sunscreen; the winter sun can still be strong.

Personal Essentials

• Travel‑size toiletries (shampoo, body wash, toothbrush).

• Any prescription meds plus a small first‑aid kit (pain relievers, motion‑sickness tablets, band‑aids).

• Universal power adapter (India uses Type C/D/M plugs, 230 V).

• Lightweight day‑bag for your mat, water bottle, and daily items.

• Notebook or journal for reflections after each practice.

Documents & Money

• Passport (valid at least six months beyond travel) and printed e‑Visa.

• Some Indian rupees in cash plus a debit/credit card; smaller markets often take cash only.

• Photocopies of passport, insurance, and emergency contacts stored separately from the originals.

Optional Extras

• Eye mask and earplugs for better sleep in shared rooms.

• Tiny packet of laundry detergent if you think you’ll need to wash clothes.

• Small lock for hostel lockers.

Bottom line: Pack light, layer wisely, and bring versatile pieces that let you move freely for yoga and stay comfortable while exploring the cities. You’ll be all set for a smooth, enjoyable retreat!
