TIPS:
- The best time to go to India is from November to March, other months or excessive heat or monsoon.
- Check always returns when you buy something, say the same for the account when you eat or hire something will always tend to overcharge you or give you less money in the turns. And check very well the contract when hiring something there are always surprises and make it very clear what you want.
- When changing money is worse at the airport change both the switch to euros and rupees to almost all cities there are teller (ATM).
- never come together someone who takes you to an agency or hotel as well but will charge the commission to carry taxita, rick saws, etc is 50% of your pay.
- India is a very safe country, but always take the typical security measures and leave nothing neglected, especially in rail and bus stations. On trains always good padlock backpacks to the bar of the bunk with a chain and padlock.
- In every city there are lots of agencies where you can buy train tickets, bus, plane or even rent a coherent, bike, etc. Eu Asiq is easy to move around the country and if you want to complicate least get something when these agencies are always more money for something you get whatever you want.
- For most practical footwear are flip-flops, because you have to remove your shoes to enter temples, shops, houses, etc. You spend more time barefoot footwear.
- always good to get a kit from here, but if you need something in India there are many pharmacies where to buy.
- In terms of making photographs when I say that it is forbidden to do any better photos, it is something we are very strict and can cause serious problems. One of the places where it is better to be without the camera is visible to avoid problems in the two Ghat Varanasi where cremations are therefore prey heavily on tourists, especially if you bring the camera. Women and children will say they do photos and I always ask them tip for photos.
- For those who want to make the tour in the desert saying that the Thar Desert is a desert of dunes, on these excursions take you to areas with small dunes. I say this because I expected to see a wilderness of dunes and I was disappointed. Add also the excursions offered by different agencies in Jaisalmer are almost equal and the prices differ greatly from each other.
