India: good to know

  • Legal & safety. The UK government's travel advice says same-sex sexual relationships are legal in India and same-sex marriage is not, that Indian society is conservative, and that there is a risk of harassment and discrimination, especially outside big cities.
  • What visitors pay. The UK government's travel advice says government and more expensive private medical care is available in major cities, and that visitors should have travel insurance covering local treatment. The centre listed here is private and does not publish prices, so ask what a consultation and each test cost before agreeing to them.

Emergency number: 112
