While in India, the land of spices may give your stomach a hard time. It is thus best to opt for simple, vegetarian food, which is mild on the spices and heat. Be sure to avoid eating from road side eating joints, and look for clean and busy restaurants for your meals. Since most bugs and viruses enter your system through drinking water, make sure to always carry and drink only packaged drinking water, needless to mention, buy the packaged water from big retail shops, instead of smaller joints.

While a pair of shorts or a sundress is not unheard of in India, it is best to dress modestly while travelling in India.

India is a land of varied cultures and languages, and while the local dialect changes every few miles, a large population of the country speaks the language known as 'Hindi', but that being said, if you know English, you will not face much trouble while communicating with either the officials or the locals. A huge chunk of the population in India, is comfortable with communicating in English, except the rural population. Chances are that you would almost never land in a situation where no one understands English.

It probably is a no brainer that you should never travel without travel insurance, because losing your valuables in a foreign land, is a nightmare come true.

Thus, while travelling to India, be sure to get travel insurance.

It is also highly advisable to take extra care if you have food related allergies. Do enquire before consuming any food item and always carry your medicines on your person.
