India is Great

In order to facilitate tourism as effectively as possible India has increased the tourist VISA cost for UK citizens, about 2-3 fold depending on where you apply. It's a change under the guise of reciprocity (revenge) in response to the UK's VISA changes concerning study and post-study employment (so many thanks, DC). Except for its tit-for-tat introduction, this is quite reasonable, after all any country has the right to set its own entry restrictions. It's also remarkable that India had the foresight to change this in the Nepali embassy within a few months of making the change in the UK (nearly managing to preempt a cheaper travel route). Unfortunately there is a catch, the large scale IT project to update the website by adding a line into the table of VISA costs from Nepal is still in progress. I'm sure this will be fixed within weeks, and no more Brits will have to feel really poor when they get to the front of the queue and don't have enough cash (3600 NPR to 11650 NPR is a bit of a jump). Really I can't moan about this though, if you want to visit India, expect India!
