Practical Tips for India

🚂
Trains Are the Way

Indian Railways is one of the world’s great networks — book on IRCTC up to 60 days ahead for popular routes. For the Himalaya, domestic flights are often most practical.

💧
Stay Healthy

Drink only bottled or filtered water, carry rehydration salts, and ease into street food. Travel insurance that covers the mountains is essential up north.

🙏
Dress & Etiquette

Remove shoes at homes and temples, dress modestly at religious sites, and a few words of the local language go a long way.
