Most nationalities require a visitor visa and qualify for an e-Visa available online. You should apply at least 30 days in advance, but check the official website (in all its old-school glory) for the requirements.
You will need to book a plane as other modes of transit may not be feasible. Try and limit your transit to one layover (preferrably not in India) to prevent losing your luggage.
