These travel tips you need to know before taking off.
1. You are supposed to take off shoes before getting in temples in India. Preparing shoe covers is necessary to keep your feet or socks neat and tackle the heated ground in summer.
2. When travelling by train, the middle stop-over between destinations is always short. Please hurry up when getting off the train.
3. Do keep a stock of smaller notes in 10 or 20Rs all the way. They will be very handy for small purchases, perhaps gratuities/tipping, and public restrooms. Most of the time vendors and other service providers don’t have changes.
4. Regarding tipping, India is a country where the drivers, tour guides, waiters, bell boys, etc. usually expect tips. What amount we suggest is just based on the amount on average in this industry, which is not set by us. The driver often works over 6 hours a day, so the suggested tip for him is higher. Anyway, tipping is a personal issue. You can tip them less or more, depending on your satisfaction level. It is preferrable but not required that you have to tip them in INR. You can either tip them in US dollars or EUR. They accept payment in all the major currencies – US dollars, Euros, Pounds, Australian and Canadian dollars.
Tips are always much appreciated!
5. The more people sharing, the lower the per-person cost. It is always a good idea to take your family or invite your friends to join your tour. This way all of you will enjoy the quality service offered in our private tours and share a great holiday experience in India.
Keep these travel tips in mind and your tour will be unforgettable!
