Good to know

The weather
The IPL season, March to May, is hot but manageable, above all at the evening matches. Mumbai and Chennai are humid all year.
Getting around
Private car and driver for all transfers, and domestic flights between the venues, 1 to 3 hours.
Getting there
There are direct flights from London Heathrow to Delhi (about 11 hours), Mumbai (about 9 to 10 hours), Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad (about 10 hours). There is no direct flight from London to Kolkata: you change on the way, often in Delhi or Mumbai.
India is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of the UK in winter and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer: India does not change its clocks.
Domestic flights connect the major cities in 1 to 3 hours. For a Test in Nagpur, Guwahati or Ranchi, fly in through Delhi or Mumbai.
International flights are not included: you book your own and we plan the trip around them.
