Even before you plan your journey, check whether all the necessary information and documents are in order. Pack them safely. Visa and passports are the most important documents. An Indian Visa is valid for 6 months from the day of its issuance. However, an E-visa is valid for 60 days only. There, plan your trip keeping everything in your mind. Note down all the international airports in India which will help you to travel around. One of the best ways to travel in India is in a machine, i.e. a Car.

Whenever you are traveling to a foreign country, a major concern is health. India is a huge country to explore, so make sure you have a travel insurance to keep you covered in cases of medical emergencies like shortage of money or other official problems. Keeping yourself healthy throughout the trip is also extremely important. Do not use public drinking water points. Go for mineral water or carry a bottle to refill it wherever you see a filter. This is the best way to avoid water-borne diseases. After all, you don’t want to spend your trips exploring your hotel room in place of incredible India!

India is mostly a tropical country so you are likely to experience some hot and humid weather throughout the year. Thus, do not burden yourself with too much thick and warm clothes which will be absolutely unnecessary unless you are having plans for a Himalayan Trek or other hill stations to enjoy the snow. Better pack light – go ahead with layering. Try to wear clothes made of light cotton materials covering your skin as much as possible. Umbrellas, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen lotions with 50+ SPF; all are your weapons that will protect you from the harmful UV sun rays attacking you.
