Yoga teacher training is popular - Rishikesh and Kerala offer intensive courses to get certified, much cheaper than Western countries.
Aloo paratha makes a perfect breakfast
Set boundaries - women can choose to only photo with families/women
Squat toilets are the norm outside cities - Practice at home if you've never used one; they're actually more hygienic when used correctly.
Hindi is not spoken everywhere - South India has distinct languages (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam). English is often more useful than Hindi there.
Train platform numbers change frequently - Always check the electronic boards or ask railway staff, even if your ticket shows a platform number.
Expect the selfie requests to get tiring
Eat only freshly cooked food
Process visa applications several weeks before departure
UPI (Unified Payments Interface) dominates - Even small street vendors use UPI payment apps, but as a foreigner, setting this up requires an Indian bank account and phone number.
