Getting around this huge country can be a challenge, although an infrastructure boom is improving airports, railways and roads

India's most significant international airports are Mumbai Delhi, Kolkata Airport, which services Calcutta and Chennai at Madras. The flight time from London to Mumbai is about nine hours.

Indian Airlines runs an extensive service across India, but the classic route for travelling from city to city, and not in a particular hurry, is the legendary rail network.

Like all India’s public transport systems, the railway is massively overcrowded, occasionally uncomfortable and requires a great deal of patience.

Buses are similarly cramped, crowded and uncomfortable. While hiring a car is relatively cheap and easy, India’s drivers are among the most unpredictable in the world and the cities especially crammed with unexpected hazards – not least wandering cows.

Local taxis will generally have an ad hoc approach to fares, while rickshaws will be cheaper but will offer no respite from the excesses of the temperature and the population.
