- Traditional advice – Drink only bottled water (for India, it is extremely important).
- Negotiate the price with taxi drivers and rickshaws beforehand, because there is no counters in the machines.
- Taj Mahal closed on Fridays, so do not plan to visit it that day.
- Take care of your valuable things, especially while traveling by train.
- Trains are late all the time, it is extremely dangerous to take tickets back to back on to the next mode of transport.
- India – a paradise for shoppers. Excellent silk, gorgeous silverware, delicious tea, hand-embroidered pillows and articles of wood and bronze will be a wonderful souvenir. Don’t forget to buy great cosmetics from the Himalaya – toothpaste, creams, shampoos.
