The Western India state of Gujarat is now closer to Malaysians thanks to a new direct route from AirAsia. The carrier is flying directly to the city of Ahmedabad from Kuala Lumpur, starting April 29.

The introduction of this new direct route follows the Indian government’s announcement late last year to reduce India’s electronic tourist visa fees for eligible Malaysians.
