About Shiva Tattva Yoga
Travelling and organizing your journey to India would possibly appear to be a big step to take, but with proper information it is very simple. You will find all the necessary information below that shows you the best way to plan your travel, including the information you need for a visa and the way to travel safely.
Plan Your Journey
Travelling to the ashram is very simple. We recommend you to fly to New Delhi airport (airport code – DEL).
- Return flights from Europe to Delhi start from Euros 600 onwards (you can compare prices and flights at
makemytrip.com, yatra.com,
goibibo.com,
tripoto.com,
tripadvisor.com, booking.com).
- From New Delhi you can take a domestic flight to Jolly Grant Airport Dehradun (airport code – DED). The flight duration is 55 min and it usually costs around $60 (www.spicejet.com) for one way.
When you reach the Jolly Grant Airport, you will be picked up by our team and brought to the ashram. We provide complementary pickup on the first day of the course.
Preparing Your Papers Visa and Insurance
India is now considered a low risk country, therefore travel restrictions in relation to Covid-19 are relaxed. The travel requirements for international travelers arriving in India are as follows:
- Travelers must submit the self-declaration form on the online Air Suvidha portal.
- Travelers must mention the date of vaccination or a PCR test conducted, while filling the self-declaration form.
- Travelers must carry a certificate of completing *full primary vaccination schedule of COVID-19 vaccination OR carry the negative report of COVID-19 RT-PCR test conducted not more than 72 hours prior to arriving in India.
Most international travelers coming to India need a valid visa.
We recommend you to take a ‘Tourist E-Visa’.
This is the easiest option. The E-visa is valid for 30 days. You can apply for this visa entirely online, avoiding the need to visit to the Indian embassy or send in your passport. When you are applying for a visa, you can state the purpose as ‘tourist’ if you plan some travel as well or as ‘short yoga course,’ which was a recent addition to the list of options.
Important: E-visa has to be applied at least four days in advance to arrival date!
Nationalities which are eligible for the E-Visa are:
Andorra, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Cayman Island, Chile, China, China- SAR Hong Kong, China- SAR Macau, Colombia, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Cuba, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Fiji, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kiribati, Laos, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Mexico, Micronesia, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Montserrat, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nauru, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niue Island, Norway, Oman, Palau, Palestine, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Republic of Macedonia, Russia, Saint Christopher and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Samoa, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Sweden, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Tonga, Turks & Caicos Island, Tuvalu, UAE, Ukraine, USA, Uruguay, Vanuatu, Vatican City-Holy See, Venezuela, Vietnam.
Note : eVisa entry is currently not permitted for citizens of United Kingdom. Please apply for a regular tourist visa.

Regular tourist visas are usually valid for either three or six months, So they are ideal if you plan to stay in India for a longer period. You can mention “traveling”, “sightseeing”, “yoga retreat”, or “recreation” as the purpose of visiting India in the application form. Please avoid the term “study” in your visa application as that might result in the embassy rejecting your regular tourist visa application and asking you to apply for a “Student visa”.
