A few travel tips to keep in mind when travelling to India as a first-timer:
- Bottled water is a good idea, avoid salads and raw vegetables that have been washed with tap water, going vegetarian is also a good idea (there’s so much amazing vegetarian food on offer you won’t be missing out).
- Spend a few days adjusting until you dive into the delicious street food.
- Wet wipes and anti-bacterial wash are great ideas if you’re using public transport.
