1. Goa


Fondly known as the ‘Party Capital of India’, Goa has partially modified the travel rules effective earlier and has allowed fully vaccinated travellers to enter the state without providing a negative RT-PCR test report.

Fully vaccinated asymptomatic passengers, possessing the COVID-19 vaccination certificate of both doses issued through the CoWIN portal, are allowed to enter the state post 15 days after receiving their second dose.

2.  Leh

One of the most stunning places of India, Leh, has now exempted those travellers from carrying a negative RT-PCR report, who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Passengers who are not fully vaccinated need to carry an RT-PCR report not older than 96 hours before arrival at the Leh airport. However, the traveller should be asymptomatic.
