Travel tips

  • Carry cash in small denominations (₹500, ₹2000) as many small shops and street vendors prefer cash over cards.
  • Use a reputable local SIM or a prepaid eSIM for data; major providers like Jio and Airtel have easy airport kiosks.
  • When visiting Mehrangarh Fort, hire a certified guide at the ticket counter to enrich the experience and support local employment.
  • Tip restaurant staff 5‑10% of the bill if service charge is not included, and round up taxi fares for drivers.
  • Stay hydrated and keep a bottle of water with you; tap water is not safe to drink, so use filtered or bottled water.
