India's a great place to visit - I'm going green with envy but really pleased for you, you'll have a wonderful time. :beer:

(Although now I come to think about it, the food's terrible, you're bound to be ill, get heatstroke etc etc. So if you have a holiday that you need to offload coz it's just not the one for you, I'm top of the list to take it off your hands.;) - I'd be doing you a favour, really I would. )

Visa - they've outsourced.
http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/

Even if you go in person, you still need to submit the application on line. Sounds daft, but I had to go to the visa place, find an internet cafe, submit it, then go back to the visa place!

Vaccinations - ask at your GP surgery- they should have a travel clinic that gives free advice. Some of the on-line ones you have to pay for. You may have to pay for a private prescription for some of the vaccinations or anti-malarials if you need them. Some are on the NHS and some aren't.

Nor sure about the best time of year - look at the brochure and the most expensive prices are generally the best weather wise. Or hoik yourself over to tripadviser - they might have something.
And practice your bartering, or stick to the fixed price shops (my preference as I'm terrible at haggling.)
I usually get the lonely planet or rough guide books from out of the library and take those with me - too mean to buy my own! They also give advice on the best time to go.
