Why go
The UK is the easiest long-haul trip for Indian families — same language, familiar brands, an enormous Indian diaspora and food that suits everyone.
The UK is the easiest long-haul trip for Indian families — same language, familiar brands, an enormous Indian diaspora and food that suits everyone.
London alone deserves four days, but the country is small and well-connected, so a week lets you add Edinburgh, the Cotswolds or Bath without exhausting yourself.
The visa is the hard part. It's documentation-heavy and appointment-dependent, so we start the file early and prepare it the way caseworkers actually read it.
