Before you pack your bags, make sure to address essential logistics. Firstly, securing the correct visa is crucial. Requirements vary depending on your nationality, so check the Indian embassy or consulate website in your country well in advance. Familiarize yourself with the Indian Rupee (INR) and plan your currency exchange strategically, considering using ATMs upon arrival for potentially better rates. Consider informing your bank of your travel plans to avoid any issues with your cards.

Navigating a new culture requires awareness and respect. Dressing modestly, especially when visiting religious sites, is highly recommended. Be mindful of local customs, such as removing your shoes before entering temples or homes. Bargaining is common in markets, but do so politely and with a smile. Learn a few basic Hindi phrases to enhance your interactions with locals. Remember, cultural sensitivity will significantly enrich your travel experience.

Packing smart can make a huge difference to your comfort. Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing suited for the Indian climate. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as you'll likely be doing a lot of exploring. Don't forget essentials like sunscreen, insect repellent, and a basic first-aid kit. A universal adapter for your electronic devices is also indispensable. Consider packing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated while minimizing plastic waste.
