Raw fruits & vegetables – Only eat peeled fruits (like bananas) or those washed in filtered water. It's best to avoid salads at most places.

Street food – Choose busy, clean-looking vendors where the food is cooked fresh and hot. If you want to be extra cautious, then avoid street food.

Isolated areas at night – India is generally safe, but it's best to be extra cautious and stick to well-populated areas at night.

Mosquitoes – Use repellent, especially at dusk and in areas near water. Consider wearing long sleeves/pants in the evening. Indian brand mosquito repellent is called Odomos, which we recommend buying when you arrive.

Overexertion in heat – Take it easy, stay hydrated, and wear light, breathable clothes.

It is a good idea to get travel insurance with medical coverage.

Stay hydrated! (with bottled water only)

Always wear sunscreen!

Keeping it modest with dress and public displays of affection is encouraged as it's the social norm.

People do stare in India – it's mostly harmless but can be a bit of a culture shock!
