Travel tips

  • Buy a local SIM card (e.g., Jio or Airtel) at the airport for cheap data; a prepaid plan with 1‑2 GB per day is sufficient.
  • Carry small change (₹10‑₹500) for market stalls and rickshaw fares, as many vendors don't accept cards.
  • Tip hotel staff 10 % of the bill and restaurant servers 5‑10 % if service is not included.
  • Use reputable shared taxis or licensed auto‑rickshaws; agree on the fare before starting the ride.
  • Keep a copy of your passport and a note of the Indian emergency number 112 in case of any issue.
