Ola and Uber work well in cities - These ride-sharing apps provide transparent pricing and eliminate bargaining hassles. Keep them installed.
Late-night venues have more tolerance - Clubs, bars, and late-night restaurants that cater to younger crowds are more accepting of PDA.
Public displays of affection are considered rude
Participate in langar at gurdwaras - Free community meals at Sikh temples are open to all. It's a beautiful experience of equality and service.
Hire local guides in national parks - They know animal movements, bird calls, and hidden spots that tourists would never find alone.
Eastern Ghats provide unique biodiversity
Cycle rickshaws are for very short distances - Best for old city areas where motorized vehicles can't reach, but negotiate price firmly beforehand.
Block-printed textiles are beautiful - Jaipur and Rajasthan are famous for hand-block printing. Watch artisans work before buying.
Bread is used as an edible utensil - Tear off pieces of roti, naan, or paratha to scoop up curries and dals.
India has more than just the Himalayas
