German passport holders need a visa to enter India. The easiest route is the eVisa, which you apply for at indianvisaonline.gov.in. The eTourist Visa costs USD 25 for a 30-day single-entry or USD 40 for a 1-year multiple-entry. A 5-year multiple-entry eVisa runs USD 80. Processing takes 3 to 5 business days. Apply at least a week before travel.
You can also get a traditional sticker visa at the Indian embassy in Berlin or consulates in Munich, Hamburg, or Frankfurt through BLS International. This takes 5 to 10 business days and costs around EUR 82. It makes sense if you need a longer stay or specific visa category.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date with at least 2 blank pages. The eVisa is valid at 28 designated airports including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai. You cannot enter on an eVisa at a land border crossing. Keep a printed copy of your eVisa approval with you.

To Bandra or Juhu, ₹200–350 in 20–40 minutes.Pre-paid taxis from the terminal cost slightly less but use older vehicles. Mumbai Local trains are accessible via auto-rickshaw to Andheri station (10 min, ₹80–100) then Western Line to Churchgate (50 min, ₹25); inexpensive but impractical with large luggage.

Tropical monsoon climate. The Southwest Monsoon (June–September) brings some of the heaviest urban rainfall in the world. Mumbai regularly receives 2,000–3,000mm per season. Flooding of approach roads and reduced visibility cause frequent delays and diversions during July and August. The July 26, 2005 floods are the benchmark for worst-case disruption.
Dry season (November–May) is reliable with warm temperatures (22–35°C) and clear skies. May sees pre-monsoon heat and humidity (32–38°C). Cyclones in the Arabian Sea can affect the region in May–June and October–November. November through February is the most stable period.
