Travelling to India for a first time
could be a treat for a first timer as it has a major cultural diversity and
religions living together to promote basic harmony
and at the same time a
roadside filled with cars and horns bustling out to create a space is always
amazing to see on a huge country like India. But following tips would look to
make your journey adorable and convenient one.
Avoid
burnout
The most celebrated thing you must
remember is do not rush as the first time visitors do not have proper idea
about exploring a place so they end up by doing nothing. Make sure you have
planned your trip so that you can explore every color, every beauty within a
comfort zone. Take time to discover a beauty a realistic approach would benefit
you.
Get out of
the city
Make sure to stay away from an
overpopulated city as the small villages and hill station has a beauty of
ambiance. Stay clear on your mind that city is more a pollution and small
village are a true beauty. Slow down at a beauty of gods own country Kerala,
discover a beauty of valley and mountains at a smaller section of India which
is more urban than rural.
Watch what
you eat and drink
Make sure you stick with healthy
diets don’t rush for a street foods always carry a bottle of water while
exploring a beauty avoid eating salads or ice rather go for boiled and fried.
Don’t be too
precious about your personal space
Make sure your are familiar with the
culture of India which could be little intimidating for a first timer you might
be asked some question which might lead in a series of hesitation but that’s
how they built their interest regarding your journey.
DRESS
CONSERVATIVELY
Always make sure to wear a dress
which would cover your legs and arms as country lives in different culture make
sure to open a shoe at a door before entering a house or even before entering a
sacred space make sure you have removed your shoes.
Watch those
feet and hands
Make sure to apologize if you touch
something with your feet as it is considered as unclean so it’s always better to
remember these basic things. Never pass anything with your left hand it is
considered as unpleasant so the right hand is a key to impress and get yourself
shield within a fold of Indian culture.
Remember
that Indian time is relative
Remember time here is bit relative
than that of yours if your friend promised you to be there at around 5 minutes
than expect that as a 15 minutes or may be more than that as traffic and other
means could be a main hurdle so always be comfortable to wait for little
longer.
Stay safe
Don’t walk at streets alone
especially during evening or at night time, do not carry a bundle of cash in
hand as in many cities pick pocketing could ask you to regret later, haggling
at market could be irritating but that’s how things goes here.
BE PREPARED
FOR NOISE
Plug in headphones to avoid noise as
the city built too much noise it is always better to carry an ear plugs or ear
phones to avoid getting irritated by noise.
Avoid deals
that seem too good to be true
Run into government shops to avoid
scams and always make sure to pay in cash while dealing with government shops.
Make sure to pay attention if you asking to get things by post.
