ESSENTIAL INFO
Know Before You Go
Getting Around
Rail networks connect almost every major city, but flights save time. In cities, ride-shares and metros are reliable; Rickshaws (tuk-tuks) are best for short hops.
Budget Planning
Daily budgets range ₹3,000–₹10,000 ($40–$120) depending on region and comfort. Cash still matters in rural areas.
Cultural Etiquette
Dress modestly outside beach zones, remove shoes in homes and temples, and use the right hand when giving or receiving.
Language Tips
English works widely in metros. Learn greetings like Namaste (hello) and Dhanyavaad (thank you) – they open doors everywhere.
