Learn prices from locals before negotiating with rickshaw drivers
Book hotels wisely - Choose international chains or boutique hotels in liberal areas rather than budget hotels in conservative neighborhoods that might refuse couples.
Ladakh is best during monsoon season (dry and sunny)
India is still a traditional society despite rapid changes
Head to the Himalayas - not just the Golden Triangle
Only drink bottled or filtered water - never tap water
Internal flights can cross the country in a few hours
Experience the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot
Finish your plate to show appreciation - Leaving food can indicate you didn't enjoy it, though this varies by family and region.
Sunder Nursery and Deer Park in Delhi are good escapes
Visit the Western Ghats for trekking and tea plantations
Government-approved shops display certification - Look for official handicraft certification to ensure you're getting authentic, fair-trade products.
