India Travel Entry Rules 2026: State-Wise Permits, Restricted Areas and Hidden Restrictions Every Traveller Must Know

India’s 2026 travel entry rules require visitors to check state-specific permits and restricted zones before arrival. Northeastern states like Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland mandate Inner Line Permits, while border regions in Ladakh and Sikkim need special passes.
