Travel Information
BAGGAGE
It is advisable not to pack too many things, as it is impossible
not to buy things in India. In fact the most reluctant and miserly
shoppers succumb within the first few days unless they are held
back. Just carry things that can be used up and thrown out at the
end (creams, shampoos etc.) Though a lot of variety is available
in the big cities.
Sightseeing Packing
For daily travelling, must consist of a hand towel, a small bar of
soap, a toilet roll, face tissue or handkerchiefs and a bottle for
water. A camera, with ample roll of films (good quality films are
available in the big cities), a pair of binoculars, which can help
with looking closer at birds, wildlife and detailed carving on
buildings. Electrical gadgets work on "220 V". Sealed Mineral
Water is available freely.
Travel Documents
It is safe to keep all the travel documents, consisting of your
passport, tickets, confirmations of bookings, insurance policies ,
traveller`s cheques, permits, visas etc. and of course money in
your hand luggage. In cloths, essentials are loose cotton cloths
as man made fibres are extremely uncomfortable and sweaty during
summer months. Hotel laundries are fast and good. European Designs
are cheaper in India and are sold in the hotel shopping arcades.
Clothes
Can also be stitched and copied in one day, using fabric bought by
the meter, which is readily available. Socks are essential if you
plan to visit temples or places of worship as you are not allowed
to wear shoes inside these places . There is an inexhaustible
choice of comfortable, good looking cheap sandals in Delhi.
Medicines
Few pills for fever, aches, cough and cold will save most
disasters and for jippy tummy known as Delhi belly in India. Most
of the hotels have doctors on call, but if you plan to go off a
beaten tract, it is worth considering taking a course for malaria,
antiseptic cream, few dressings, insect bite cream. It is
advisable and essential to take right injections before visiting
India. A full course against typhoid, tetanus, cholera and
hepatitis.
