Travel Information  


                                


Nearest International Airport: Delhi 



Transportation from Delhi to Jaipur: Air/Rail/Road 



By Air: Domestic flights (A detailed schedule will be posted here soon)



By Rail: (A detailed schedule will be posted here soon)



By Road: 

Our travel agent has agreed to setup a
reception desk for the incoming participants at the International
Arrival Lounge at Delhi Airport and collect people at frequent intervals
to send them to Jaipur by a coach or a car depending on the number and
the choice of the participants. The cost is expected to be minimal,
around 20-25  US Dollars per person, again depending on how many peple
share a car etc.

This will save trouble for those of you who want to take any form of
surface transport, you will not have to travel to the City Bus Stand or
the Rail Station (spending almost similar amount in taxi fare) and also
save time as the coaches can start right from the airport as and when
the requisite number of participants have arrived.

The airport at Delhi is on the way to Jaipur (you save 25 km of
commuting thru the town) and convenient also.

If you are interested to avail of this facility, kindly send your
request either to us or the travel agent directly at Jaipur. 




 Reception at Jaipur 


It is envisaged that delegates sending prior information regarding their
travel plans will be received at the airport/railway station. Please
contact the ICPA-QGP'97 reception desk at the airport/railway station. The
charges for transfer to your place of stay will be Rs.100/- and Rs.50/- per
person from airport and railway station respectively.


Currency/Credit Cards 

The currency unit in India is the Rupee. Foreign currency, travellers cheques
and credit cards are accepted in all major restaurants, hotels and shops. There
will be a currency exchange counter at the conference venue. Approximate
exchange rate is US $ 1 = Rs.35.
