Top Tips:
- When you arrive somewhere, if you have booked a hotel arrange for them to pick you up
- After a few days, when you have worked out how much things usually cost ( water, food, jewellery, textiles, etc) then you can start bartering. If you don't have much time ask someone at the hotel you are staying in, preferably a westerner and get several opinions.
- Keep you money in you wallet when the beggers come, if you give them anything it will attract unwanted attention, give to a proper charity if you wish to help or take part in helping the community in other ways.
- Don't even think about walking about if it is above 35-40 Degrees C from 12-4pm it's madness and can really give a sore head at the least, keep your head covered and drink at least 3 litres of water a day.
- Make the most of each moment and be compassionate to all around, even when pestered, as a westerner you are seen to have much more money than most in India and you probably do, be understanding...
