India is considered a fairly safe country for tourists, but during the trip, all the same, you need to take precautions. In tourist areas it is worth to be attentive, professional thieves and scammers can work there. During the excursion trips do not ignore cameras, video cameras and personal belongings. Large amounts of money and documents are stored in the safe in the room or at the reception in the hotel.

It is also worth observing some rules of conduct. It is not recommended to point at anything with your index finger, while talking to Indians, do not shout and lose your temper, otherwise they will just end the dialogue with you.

If you are going to photograph local residents, ask their permission by pointing at the camera . Some picturesque Indian residents can ask for a photo of several rupees.

Before entering the temples and mosques you need to take off your shoes. Shoes before the entrance are usually guarded by someone, and thanks in the form of a few rupees at the exit will not be superfluous. It is not superfluous to stock up with socks, which can be discarded after use. Entry without shoes extends to all functioning places of religious worship in India, even some Christian churches. When visiting the temple, it is customary to bring any gifts - garlands of flowers, fruits, money donations (50-100 rupees is enough).

As for clothing, you can travel to the south and north of India in the spring, summer and autumn in clothes with short sleeves, and best of all in cotton. In central India, in the evenings and in the early morning, a sweater or a windbreaker is required. Women are not recommended to wear sleeveless blouses, miniskirts, shorts and other open clothes. On the feet should be comfortable shoes depending on the season.

The main condition for a successful trip is a positive mood and a philosophical attitude to life. Smile more often and in return you will receive millions of smiles!
