Safety Guidelines for Traveling in India
India is a beautiful country and has even more
beautiful people! It is a country that will leave you mesmerized and
mystified, yet give you a sense of satisfaction. To make your trip even
more memorable and hassle free, we bring you basic guidelines for safety
in India. Like any other country, there are certain precautions for
traveling in India that are to be kept in mind. You can enjoy your trip
even more if you go through these safety guidelines in India.
- Get to know the basic rules and laws of India before coming here.
It is helpful to know the basic norms of the Indian society so as
not to offend Indian sensibilities.
- Stick to your original plans. Do not listen to advice given by
strangers about better hotels and accommodation. Head straight to
the hotel you booked.
- Never discuss your travel plans with strangers. Also, do not
disclose how much money you are carrying or discuss about it in open
public.
- Avoid traveling alone at night. Do not travel on roads and narrow
lanes that are poorly lit.
- In case you are meeting with a person or a client, choose a
public place in the city.
- Don't hand over your luggage to any unknown person except the
hotel staff. If you do, chances are you may never see your baggage
again!
- Do not let strangers or suspicious people in your room. Call the
hotel reception in case of any doubts.
- All valuable items like money, cheques, passports, jewellery, etc
should be kept safely in the hotel locker or in a secure suitcase.
Never leave your valuables lying around in the room unattended.
Also, avoid carrying huge sums of money in public.
- Always keep your wallet/money purse in the side pocket of your
trousers. Else keep it inside a jacket pocket. It is best to buy a
money pouch that can be strapped onto your body and worn underneath
your clothing. Avoid keeping your wallet in the back pocket.
- Take your necessary medications and keep extra stock with you in
case of emergency. Consult your doctor and get vaccine shots for
certain diseases before your trip to India.
- Make copies of important documents like passports, visa and
identity proof to be kept with you in case any of those get lost.
Also, keep a copy back home with a trusted friend who can fax it if
need be.
