Practicalities for the Free Spirit
Visa & Entry
Indian e-Visa required for most foreign visitors. Apply online 4-7 days before travel. Keep digital and physical copies.
02 Currency Matters
Indian Rupee (INR) is king. Carry sufficient cash as ATMs can be limited in rural areas. Inform your bank of travel plans.
03 Cultural Customs
Dress modestly when visiting temples (cover shoulders and knees). Always ask permission before photographing local people respectfully.
Safety & Local Insights: Embrace the Experience
Stay Hydrated & Sun Protected
Carry water bottles and wear sunscreen, hats, and light clothing. Heat exhaustion is real
Watch Your Footing
Uneven terrain and ancient stone pathways require sturdy, comfortable shoes with good grip
