Precautions to take

• Don’t talk to the people without any ID proof of being from a well-reputed or registered organization.
• Never go to unlit or less crowded areas.
• Don’t give money to every monk or beggar coming to you and asking for it; you’d better ignore them.
• Stay away from eating oily and fried food.
• Don’t visit in summers if you can’t bear the hot season, as you are from a cool-climate country.
• Always have your valid Indian visa with yourself to show it when asked by any official.
• Keep a small amount of cash, many small shopkeepers and rural-people don’t accept online payments.
• Don’t kiss or hug your better half publicly, especially in religious places.
• Put off shoes or sleepers before entering religious places.
• Stay in only reputed places where most people can understand and speak English.
