However, after finding flights, travel insurance, hotels and buying a ton of mosquito repellent, you must remember your visa. Naively I thought this was going to be easy to do ourselves. After trying our hardest to complete the Indian embassy application and submit it in Manchester we decided to give in and hand it over a private company to handle, and although costing an extra £30 each in processing fees, it has at least relieved the hassle somewhat.
All going through now and hopefully we should have our visas back next week!
