Arriving


Please be sure to let us have your flight details as soon you have them...for our spring trek, Joel will be travelling out to the airport to meet trekkers with our drivers, and we will be supplying you with his mobile phone number if he misses you. This may sound a little odd but Delhi airport after 11PM most nights is a zoo, with literally hundreds of drivers from the hotels, with signs and as Joel is only 5ft 6in...you could miss him; keep an eye out for probably the only westerner in the arrivals hall with the 'Project-Himalaya' sign.


Immigration


Have your passport and a pen ready as you have to fill in an arrival form, then get in the line...some airlines hand out the forms before landing; their is a bottom, tear off strip that you need to fill in for customs with your amount of bags; you present that at customs as you go through after you have claimed your luggage.


Missing luggage


We hope not! If it does not arrive, there will be airport staff on hand with the requisite forms. These days they can track it quickly, and they will give you a tracking number...do not leave the terminal without your paperwork!


Other forms of travel

If you are arriving early or coming via another city (for example via Bombay or Calcutta in which case you will arrive at the domestic terminal) do tell us in advance.
