Good afternoon Andy, great to hear that you will soon be in incredible India with us. There are 32 fellow travellers on this date, a very nice group size for a tour like this.
Hi Andy, I am also going on the April trip. Its my first time with Riviera and my first solo holiday so am both nervous and very excited. I've always wanted to go to India and this seems like the ideal trip. I much prefer "experiences" to sitting on a beach, and am more used to independent travel than tours so this will be something new. I'm based in Cornwall Helen
Thanks for your reply, doesn't look like our fellow travelers have found this chat site yet! I also like independent trips and this will be my first "solo" holiday. With 32 of us going I am sure we will all have a good time.
I found this documentary on YouTube about the Shimla railway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shD50haKPMw Can't wait to get there and see the sights.
Hi, I'm also on this trip, I've been on solo holidays before, but this will be the first time with Riviera. Travelling from Leeds and really looking forward to it. Julia
Hi all I am booked on this trip as well. Usually travel independently but thought I’d try an organised trip as India is so vast.Know friends and family who have visited India and fell in love with it but Have stayed in shall we say some suspect accommodation.So hotels on this one look amazing. Looking forward to meeting you all Martin
I have just applied for my India e-Visa!! Had one small problem in that my scanned passport pdf. file was too big to upload. There is a 300Kb file size limit and mine was 325!!
I have found however an online site where you can reduce pdf. files. https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf. You simply drag file onto site and it reduces for you.
Other than that, the process was relatively simple.
Hi Just finished the e.visa application bit long winded but managed to do it all on my iPad including photo[awful]and passport scan. As Andy said had to resize both but there are free apps for doing this on App Store. martin
Hi all
