Delhi — India's capital, where the history of the Mughal empire is woven into the rhythm of a modern megacity. The Red Fort, India Gate and the markets of Chandni Chowk all sit within the same city, with the Taj Mahal just a couple of hours away. Flying from Tbilisi to Delhi, including a connection, takes 7-9 hours.

🛂 e-Visa — India's online visa
Georgian citizens can apply for an India tourist e-Visa online before flying — processing usually takes 3-5 business days. The e-Visa is issued in 30-day, one-year or five-year versions and, depending on the type, allows multiple entries.
Apply for the e-Visa only on India's official site (indianvisaonline.gov.in) — third-party sites often charge inflated service fees.
