Luxembourg to India: What You Need to Know
India is South Asia's largest country and the world's most populous nation (1.44 billion people), with an extraordinary diversity of cultures, languages, religions, landscapes, and cuisines. It has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites (42) than almost any other country. The Taj Mahal, Varanasi (one of the world's oldest living cities), the backwaters of Kerala, Rajasthan's desert forts and palaces, Goa's beaches, the Himalayan hill stations, and the temples of Hampi are among hundreds of extraordinary destinations. India has a growing tech sector and middle class, a rich film industry (Bollywood), and deeply ancient spiritual traditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Luxembourg citizens need a visa for India?
Yes. Luxembourg passport holders need an e-Visa before travel. Apply at indianvisaonline.gov.in at least 4 days before your trip.
How much does the Indian e-Visa cost?
Approximately USD 25 for the 60-day double-entry or 90-day e-Tourist Visa. The fee varies slightly by season. Payment by credit or debit card on the official website.
How long does it take to process an Indian e-Visa?
Processing takes 72-96 hours (3-4 business days). Apply at least a week before travel to allow for any delays. The approved e-Visa is emailed to you and must be printed to show on arrival.
Is India safe for tourists?
India is safe for tourists who prepare carefully. Exercise heightened vigilance in crowded areas (pickpocketing), use reputable transport (Ola/Uber app-based taxis rather than unmetered street taxis), drink only bottled water, eat at restaurants where food is cooked fresh to order, and check specific destination advisories. The major tourist circuits (Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa) are well-trodden and well-supported for visitors.
What is the best time to visit India?
October to March is the best season for most of India: cool and dry. Avoid the main monsoon months of June to September for Rajasthan and central India (though Kerala's backwaters and hill stations are actually beautiful in the monsoon). April-May before the monsoon is hot.
What should I know about India's diversity?
India has 28 states, 22 constitutionally recognized languages, and extraordinary regional diversity in culture, food, and landscape. North India (Mughal architecture, curries, the Himalayan foothills) is completely different from South India (Dravidian temples, coconut-based cuisine, Kerala backwaters). Budget for significant internal travel time.
