Words Of Advice
Do remember to bring some insect repellent or mosquito coils. Mosquitoes in India can be unexpectedly fierce.
Cows are considered sacred in India, so when you are driving in India be careful not to abuse one.
Do carry sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat.
Avoid walking bare-foot.
Even though Indians loved to be photographed, ask for permission before taking any photographs - some women and tribals may object to being photographed.
Always respect religious shrines and places of worship, they require visitors to observe a decent dress code. Take care not to violate any taboos in a mosque or a temple.
Change currency only from recognised money-changers - the Currency Exchange receipts will be useful for re-exchange on departure.
Photography is prohibited in some public places like railway stations, religious places, bridges and dams. Most tourist spots charge fees for photography and/ or videography.
When travelling overnight on a train, you are better off when you have your luggage chained together through the iron rings provided under the berths. Metal chains are available at all railway stations throughout India. However, do not put your cash and passport in your baggage - they are better off on your waist belt tucked under your shirt.
There are additional aspects you need to understand and learn to deal with when you are "on the road" in India. The following topics are a conscious and deliberate attempt in dealing with ground realities that foreign tourists face when in India.
