"Veg" and "non-veg" are the main categories - Restaurants clearly mark which items contain meat or eggs versus purely vegetarian options.
Rajasthani food is designed for desert climate - Less water content, more ghee, and longer shelf life characterize Rajasthani cuisine due to historical scarcity.
Assault is a real danger - In extreme cases, particularly in very conservative areas, couples have been physically attacked by mobs.
Ayurvedic treatments vary regionally - Kerala has authentic traditional Ayurveda; other states have varying quality. Research credentials carefully everywhere.
Use state road transport apps - Each state has an official bus app with better local routes than private aggregators. Download all relevant ones.
Environmental consciousness varies - Kerala and Himachal ban plastic bags; enforcement lax elsewhere. Bring reusable bags to environmentally conscious states.
Seasonal routes open temporarily - Manali-Leh road, Rohtang Pass, and some Himalayan routes only operate June-September. Plan around these windows.
Language chauvinism exists in some states - Tamil Nadu has strong Tamil pride; Karnataka promotes Kannada; respect local linguistic identity.
Inner Line Permits required for some northeastern states - Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Mizoram need special permits for visitors, including other Indians.
Sunrise at monuments beats crowds - Major sites like the Taj Mahal are empty at dawn and bathed in beautiful light.
