AVE HOLIDAY HOME :(Suggested)
1. Choose your route
wisely
Think about what interests you, what you like doing, and
tailor your trip accordingly. The itineraries section at the front of Lonely
Planet India can be a great help here.
The most popular India tour is the all-time classic Golden
Triangle. Clichéd, yes, but if time is short this is a fantastic introduction
to three of India’s very best destinations. Start in Delhi (Hamayun’s Tomb, Old
Fort) before hitting Agra (Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri) then Jaipur
(Pink City, fort at Amber). Head back to Delhi’s wonderful bazaars for a final
shopping spree before you fly home.
And if you have more specific interests:
Shopping - Delhi
Beaches - Goa
Trekking - Himachal Pradesh
Yoga - Rishikesh
Food – everywhere!
Tigers - Madhya Pradesh
Thrill-seekers - Manali
Religious fervour - Varanasi
Just chilling - Kerala
2. Slow down
Too many people try to cram too much into a visit to India.
Don’t be one of them. Seeing one place slowly is so much more rewarding than
seeing many places in a flash. You’ll be less stressed, gain a deeper
understanding of where you are and have more time to build relationships with
the people you meet.
3. Avoid the crowds
One billion locals gets a bit too much for some travellers,
but India also has plenty of quiet retreats. If you need to escape the crowds
in the sprawling cities, consider heading south to the backwaters of Kerala,
north to Tibetan-influenced mountainous regions such as Ladakh or paying a
visit to one of India’s many hill stations.
4. Stay healthy
Avoid tap water, and any food that may have been washed in
it, at all times. No ice, no salads and no fruit you haven’t just peeled
yourself.
Many travellers go veggie whilst in India. It’s not a bad
idea. A dodgy bit of meat will do you a lot more harm than slightly undercooked
vegetables. Plus, many Indians are vegetarian, so there’s a fabulous choice of
vegetarian food. If you do eat meat, make sure it’s well cooked. If in doubt,
eat at a place that’s packed with locals.
Toilets are notoriously bad in India, but they don’t have to
be health hazards. Consider using the left-hand-and-water-jug method preferred
by many locals (it is, after all, so much more hygienic than using dry paper),
but don’t forget to carry soap with you so you can wash your hands properly
afterwards.
5. Keep cool
India is renowned for its touts and scams, for its
in-yer-face hassles and for being generally bloody hectic. There are various
ways you can reduce the chances of being overcharged or just plain cheated (see
scams in India), but there’s no way you can avoid them altogether, so the
single most important piece of advice for any India first-timer is to try to
remain calm, no matter what. Frustrations boil over easily in India, and being
able to control them, take a deep breath and move on, is key to enjoying your
overall experience.
