The travelling tips to visit INDIA
Travelling India is a cultural bewildering for the first time visitors. It is a magnificent country with numerous religions, communities and cultures, roaring cities, slow paced villages and a whole amazing experience.
To make your India Tour, a comfortable and convenient experience, please adhere to the following basic tips and simply enjoy your every trip to India
Explore the REAL INDIA
If you want to explore the real spirit of India, escape out of the crowded markets, noisy cities and centers of urbanization and move towards the smaller villages. Plan a trip to native places of Rajasthan, mountain regions of Himalayas or the silent waters of Kerela as these destinations will soothe your senses and rejuvenate you for a long time.
Women need to dress DESCENTLY
With relatively modest culture, dressing yourselves in descent attires is the best way to avoid any kind of unwanted attention. Women are suggested to avoid the shorts or short skirts and the tank tops. In general, it is best to have nothing too revealing or with open back or front with spaghetti straps. They can wear them in the metro cities like Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi but in small cities and towns and in traditional states such as Rajasthan or Punjab wearing them is not a good idea. They can roam around in t-shits and normal fitted trousers or can go with the comfortable and free sized local outfit “salwar kameez” . All of there are available throughout the country at very reasonable price.
Eat RIGHT and stay HEALTHY
To ensure good health and hygiene avoid tap water, street food, peeled salads and fruits. Always prefer mineral water and ask for less oily and less spicy food. Try to take curd with your all meals as it is a natural aid to digestion and is very supportive in tempering the spicy food.
TIPPING tips
Generally the tip is not included in the bills of hotels, restaurants and other services. In the restaurants, the standard tip is near about 10% of the bill. At the accommodation facility, tip is normally given at the time of check out and the early tip is considered as the reward of the better services.
Tips to driver: Typical tip for good serviceto your driver can be around 700 Rs to 1000 Rs a day. This is a minimum tip range. However, if you wish you can pay more as per their services.
Tips for “porter” at Railway station or the one who carry your luggage falls between 50 – 100 Rs / Bag
Shop SMARTLY
Shopping in INDIA can be fun. Always, shop from place where you have options and varieties to choose from. Shop around to compare prices and never miss a chance to bargain in local markets. In case of handicraft items, don’t hesitate to shop from government shops as they will give you the best deals of money and quality.
Also, prefer cash payments over card payments as it is more safe and convenient option that is acceptable everywhere in India.
If you want to ship your purchased goods to your country, get the receipt of shipment without any mistake. Try to buy the goods from the vendors who are specialized in arranging you the shipping to the international destinations.
I was also warned to make sure that bottled water still had unbroken seals.
Your are right Fiona, make sure that bottled water seals not be broken. Rack picker pick these used bottle and fill tap water to resale. That is why after using mineral water bottle it is suggestible to crush the bottle.
