How Do We Rank It?

When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About India

India occupies the major part of the Indian subcontinent in South Asia, bordered by the Himalayas to the north. Its landscape ranges from the Thar Desert in the west to the lush rainforests of the northeast. Long coastlines along the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal frame the peninsula. The climate varies significantly, from tropical in the south to alpine in the Himalayan north.

Daily life in India blends centuries-old traditions with rapid modernization. Bustling cities like Mumbai and Delhi are centers of commerce, culture, and innovation. In rural areas, agriculture and local crafts remain central to community rhythms. Festivals such as Diwali and Holi bring vibrant color and unity across diverse communities.

India is a key player in South Asian affairs, sharing borders with several neighboring countries. It maintains active diplomatic and economic relationships with major world powers through global forums. The Indian diaspora contributes significantly to many nations' cultural and economic fabrics. As a large democracy, India's regional influence continues to shape geopolitical dynamics.
