Incredible India Awaits
WCI 2027 brings the world to India — a civilisation of 5,000 years, extraordinary diversity, and experiences that range from the Himalayan peaks to tropical backwaters.
India — A World unto Itself
India is the world's largest democracy and one of its oldest continuous civilisations. It is a country where ancient temples stand beside modern cities, where tropical rainforests border high-altitude deserts, and where over 2,000 languages are spoken. Every region offers a distinct cuisine, art form, festival, and way of life.
For WCI 2027 delegates travelling from abroad, India offers far more than a conference — it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore a destination that is truly unlike anywhere else on Earth. October marks the beginning of peak travel season, with post-monsoon landscapes at their most lush and vibrant.
"India is not a country, it is a continent in itself — layered, contradictory, overwhelming, and utterly magnificent."
— Mark Twain

Highlights of India
From the Taj Mahal to Kerala's backwaters — India's iconic destinations are within reach before or after WCI 2027.

Agra — The Taj Mahal
One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal is a breathtaking monument to love, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century. Agra also houses the magnificent Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri.

Kerala Backwaters
A serene network of lagoons, canals, and lakes stretching along Kerala's coast. Houseboat stays on the backwaters of Alleppey offer a uniquely tranquil India experience.

Varanasi — The Eternal City
One of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, Varanasi sits on the banks of the Ganges. Evening Ganga Aarti ceremonies, ancient ghats, and timeless spirituality make it profoundly moving.

Goa — Sun, Sea & Heritage
India's beach paradise blends Portuguese colonial architecture with palm-fringed shores. October is one of Goa's most beautiful months — lush, fresh, and pre-peak season crowd-free.

Delhi — Capital of Contrasts
India's capital layers millennia of history — Mughal monuments, colonial boulevards, vibrant street food, world-class museums, and a thriving contemporary arts scene all within one sprawling metropolis.

Mumbai — City of Dreams
India's financial capital is also its most cosmopolitan — from the Gateway of India and Marine Drive to Dharavi's entrepreneurial spirit and world-renowned Bollywood film industry.
Make the Most of India
Apply for e-Visa Early
India's e-Visa is quick and available online, but apply at least 4 weeks before travel. WCI 2027 invitation letters are available to all registered delegates.
Use Domestic Flights
India's domestic airlines (IndiGo, Air India, Vistara) connect major cities affordably. Book in advance for October travel — peak season begins mid-month.
Explore Indian Cuisine
Every region has a distinct culinary identity. From North Indian curries to South Indian dosas, Gujarati thalis to Bengali sweets — India's cuisine is as vast as its geography.
Health & Safety
Drink bottled or filtered water, use reputable transport apps (Ola, Uber), and carry basic medication. India's major cities have excellent private hospitals and clinics.
