Essential Travel Tips
Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites, covering shoulders and knees. Carry a scarf for head covering at temples.
Be prepared for crowds, especially in Varanasi and around major attractions. Maintain awareness of your surroundings and personal belongings.
Stay hydrated by drinking bottled water, and be cautious with street food; opt for freshly prepared and hot items.
Learn a few basic Hindi phrases like 'Namaste' (hello), 'Dhanyawad' (thank you), and 'Kitna hai?' (How much?), which are always appreciated.
Negotiate prices for rickshaws, taxis, and small purchases in local markets, as fixed prices are not always common.
