Food poisoning risks vary - Street food hygiene better in southern states generally; northern cities have higher contamination risks during summer.
Avoid buying anything from overly friendly strangers
Pure veg restaurants serve no meat/eggs - These establishments cater to strict vegetarians and are usually marked with a green symbol.
Avoid photographing women directly - Especially in rural areas or conservative regions, photographing women without permission is inappropriate.
Research cultural customs and etiquette before arriving
Pushkar Camel Fair is unique - This November gathering in Rajasthan combines livestock trading with cultural performances and competitions.
Remove shoes before entering temples - Always. Look for shoe racks outside or follow what others do. Some places offer paid shoe storage.
Get vaccinated before arrival - Hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and tetanus are recommended. Consult a travel clinic 6-8 weeks before departure.
South Indian punctuality is relatively better - Events and services tend to start closer to scheduled times in the south compared to northern "IST" (Indian Stretchable Time).
Private operators fill interstate gaps - Companies like VRL, SRS, and Orange Travels run long-distance buses between states where government services don't.
