Flights & Hotel
Travel Visas
For US travelers you are required to have a visa to travel to India. Fortunately, it’s a very easy and quick process!
If the visa application asks for an address in India, you may provide your hotel information. You can put your Delhi hotel or Samode Palace as your address:
Samode Palace, Village Samode, Tehsil Chomu Samode, India 303806
Regardless of where you’re flying from, double check to ensure your passport is up-to-date and has at least two blank pages free for immigration stamps.
Flights to India
We recommend flying into Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), New Delhi, lndia.
If traveling from the US, we suggest arriving in Delhi on either Friday, October 18th or Saturday, October 19th. This will give you some time to explore Delhi and adjust to the time difference before the wedding. The earliest return to the US will be on October 25th.
Another option is to fly into Dubai and connect directly to Jaipur. From Jaipur International Airport, it is an hour drive to the Samode Palace.
Recommended airlines include: Emirates, Air India, United, Air France, American, Virgin, and British Airways.
Direct flights to New Delhi are offered daily from San Francisco, Chicago, and New York.
Staying in Delhi
We recommend arriving a couple days early and staying in New Delhi (or Gurgaon).
