Important Instructions
Here are some important instructions to keep in mind when traveling to the Indian subcontinent:
Visa Requirements: Ensure you check the visa requirements for each country you plan to visit and apply in advance. Many countries, such as India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, require tourists to obtain a visa prior to arrival.
Health Precautions: It’s important to get vaccinations and carry any necessary medications. Common vaccines include those for typhoid, hepatitis A/B, and malaria prevention (especially in rural areas). Always drink bottled or filtered water to avoid waterborne illnesses.
Currency: Carry both local currency and a credit/debit card. Many countries in the subcontinent have their own currencies, such as the Indian Rupee (INR), Nepalese Rupee (NPR), Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR), and others. Currency exchange facilities are widely available at airports and banks.
Weather: The region experiences diverse climates, so check the weather forecast for each country before traveling. The best time to visit is generally during the cooler months (October to March), avoiding the monsoon season (June to September).
Cultural Sensitivity: Respect local customs and traditions, especially regarding dress codes. In places of worship, modest clothing is often required (covering arms, legs, and heads in certain temples or mosques).
Safety: While the Indian subcontinent is generally safe for tourists, it’s always advisable to exercise caution, especially in crowded areas or unfamiliar neighborhoods. Keep an eye on your belongings and be cautious of scams.
Language: English is widely spoken in many urban areas, especially in India and Sri Lanka, but learning a few basic phrases in the local language (Hindi, Nepali, Sinhala, etc.) can help. Locals appreciate the effort.
Transportation: In cities, you can use taxis, auto-rickshaws, or ride-sharing apps (e.g., Uber, Ola). Be prepared for crowded public transport, especially in major cities. In remote areas, trains, buses, and domestic flights are common for intercity travel.
Etiquette: Always greet with a smile, and it’s polite to use the right hand for giving or receiving items. In some countries like India and Nepal, the head is considered sacred, so avoid touching someone’s head.
Local SIM Cards: For ease of communication and internet access, it’s recommended to buy a local SIM card upon arrival in each country. Make sure your phone is unlocked to use local networks.
Emergency Numbers: Keep a list of emergency contact numbers for each country, including the local embassy and hospital contacts. These can be lifesavers in an emergency situation.
