Every person has at one point in their life considered taking a trip to fly tickets India. India is a fusion of exotic cultures, traditions, historical monuments, art, and natural scenic beauty. It caters to the demands of just about everyone. The most challenging aspect whilst traveling, though, is finding your way in a land unknown. Here is where we help you plan your upcoming trip. Let’s get started.

1) Do not take the media seriously

 

Media can be a parasitic leech that feeds off on baseless information. It is especially difficult in this era when it is almost impossible to distinguish between who’s right and who’s wrong. Stay well informed and try getting first-hand information from people who have visited the country.

2) Plan ahead and be open to any changes

 

Planning ahead will ensure you have a hassle-free trip without any worrying about bookings, vacancies, etc. 3 weeks in advance is the standard, but it’s better to do so even earlier because early bookings mean better deals. Also, if during your trip you are unable to experience certain things, be more accepting and flexible to changes.

3) Know how to bargain and deal with staring/questioning

 

The local vendors light up when they see a foreigner in their local markets. Their prices suddenly rise through the roof. Be careful and know how to negotiate. Staring and cross-questioning is the norm. Get used to it and try to not get too offended by any of it.

4) Embrace the Desi aura

 

Visit the local festivals such as Diwali or Holi to get the full experience. Dress up in traditional attire and become a part of the fun. There are stark contrasts amongst the population and the infrastructure of the place with a foreign land so be more accepting towards them.

5) Be sure to follow the basic etiquette

 

Indian culture exudes pride over their culture and traditions so be respectful during your time there to earn the people’s respect in return. Always know the basics like dressing appropriately, respecting the elderly, being more considerate of gender specific locations, cutting the PDA to a minimum, and being more aware of their religion and reservations.

Travel to India is the hub of diversity and excitement. To truly make your trip one that you shall remember forever, be prepared for anything. It can get challenging and frustrating, but we can promise you a mesmerizing journey at the end of it.
