Travel Tips
Get Your Visa in Advance
- Most travelers require a visa to enter India. Apply for an e-Visa online in advance to avoid delays.
Pack Smart
- India’s climate varies greatly, so pack according to your destination and season.
- Lightweight, breathable clothing is best for most regions, but modest attire is recommended for temples and rural areas.
- Comfortable walking shoes are a must!
Stay Healthy & Hydrated
- Drink only bottled or filtered water and avoid tap water.
- Eat at reputable restaurants and avoid street food initially to let your stomach adjust.
- Carry hand sanitizer and tissues, as public restrooms may not always have supplies.
Get a Local SIM Card or eSIM
- Having mobile data makes navigation, translation, and communication easier. Purchase a local SIM card upon arrival or use an international roaming plan.
Money Matters
- India is largely cash-based, but digital payments (Google Pay, Paytm) are widely accepted. Carry small cash for local markets and small vendors.
- Exchange currency at the airport or authorized exchange centers.
Be Open-Minded & Patient
- India can be overwhelming at first—embrace the chaos, the colors, and the vibrancy.
- Things may not always go as planned, but that’s part of the adventure!
