Student/senior discounts vary - Some states honor student IDs for transport/entry; others don't. Always ask; worst they can say is no.
Pashmina shawls are often fake - Real pashmina from Kashmir is expensive (₹10,000+). Cheap ones are synthetic or mixed with other fibers.
Head into the countryside and rural villages
Remove shoes before entering temples - Always. Look for shoe racks outside or follow what others do. Some places offer paid shoe storage.
Avoid the monsoon season (June-October) unless visiting Ladakh or Spiti
Avoid buying anything from overly friendly strangers
Visit during fall for festival season (Durga Puja, Diwali, Camel Fair)
Read books by Indian authors before your trip
Laundry services are incredibly cheap - Hotels and local dhobi wallahs (launderers) wash and iron clothes for minimal cost. Use this service freely.
Skip salads and cut vegetables from street stalls
