Insurance:
Our travel guide India strongly recommends that you have an insurance coverage that is comprehensive before you enter the country. Your insurance should cover baggage loss, personal accidents, curtailment or cancellation of holiday, medical expenses etc.
Money/Currency:
When you travel to India it is advisable to carry a mix of traveler’s cheques and cash. Traveler cheques can be exchanged at most major hotels. Credit cards are also widely accepted in most major towns in the country. For smaller rural areas you will need to use cash. ATMs can be accessed easily.
Climate:
India has varied climate because of the large size of the continent. Winter months are pleasant. These are from November to March. Summer is between the months of April to June. The monsoons generally start in June.
Baggage & Clothing:
Our travel guide India suggests that the best clothing for India is garments made of pure cotton. Domestic flights allow between 25 kgs and 35 kgs of baggage so pack accordingly.
Electricity:
The electric voltage used in India is 220V. While there are a variety of plugs available in India, the most common ones that you will find are the three pinned or the two pinned ones.
Food & Water:
India has a very large variety of food. This is because each region has its own specialty. Depending on your destination, our guide will help you with places you can eat at. Bottled water is highly recommended even for brushing your teeth.
Tipping:
If you are happy with services that have been rendered to you by someone, no matter what kind it might be, the travel guide India recommends that you tip the person concerned. In a country like India, tipping only inspires better service.
Safety & Security:
India is more or less a safe country; however you can never be too careful. Therefore we recommend that you take small precautions like keeping your money close to you, avoid walking at night and wear minimal amount of jewelry.
Mail & Communication:
If you are visiting a large town communication should not be a problem. The travel guide India would recommend that you do not use the hotel phones to make international calls. Instead use phone booths that have an ‘ISD’ sign on them. The internet is available at most hotels as well. You can even find an internet café with ease.
