Visiting India during holidays by foreign tourists will definitely be enriching and will be a memorable experience for them. Here are some do's & don'ts for foreign tourists while touring in India:-
- For most foreign travellers, India can be a life lesson. They will come across traffic jams, delays, roadblocks for no reasons unlike their countries. They should not take these things personally.
- On a long vacation, travellers should not try to have too many consecutive travel days and should spend at least 1-2 nights in any given city. It is important to enjoy each place before you move on to another destination.
- Travellers should familiarise themselves with with the local customs. Travellers should take photographs only after getting permission of the locals and should not hurt people's sensibilities.
- Will you be able to control your emotions or anger by not negatively projecting about your former to your children. Do you, then your children not only will not respect you but also your second spouse.
- Travellers should not treat the parks and mountains as their private picnic spots. In forest areas, they should avoid making noise, listening to loud music or throwing litter around as garbage is a major problem in India.
- In stead of going with a fixed list of things to visit, travellers should be very flexible to let the destination surprise them.
- During peak, summer holidays & festive seasons, it will be very difficult for foreign tourists to book tickets for flights, trains & buses. They should book much in advance. For multiple travel portals, please visit here to book your travel needs in India.
- Travellers should drink only bottled water as tap water in India is not drinkable.
- As floods and landslides are common, travellers should avoid long-distance car travel.
- Before hiring any guides, travellers should check and verify their IDs.
