Insurance: Prior to your journey to India, we highly advise that you get a comprehensive travel insurance policy. Insurance should cover personal injury, medical costs, lost luggage, and holiday cancellation or interruption. You must have sufficient insurance to protect you in the event that you experience a medical emergency while travelling.

Money/Currency: India uses the rupee as its official currency (INR).

It is advisable that you bring both cash and travellers checks, preferable in US dollars outside of the major cities. Most large hotels allow you to exchange traveller’s checks. Keep the exchange receipts; you might need them if you decide to exchange the Indian rupees back into your own currency at the end of your trip. In big cities, practically all hotels, as well as most businesses and eateries, take credit cards; however, credit cards are less commonly accepted in more rural locations.

Among credit and charge cards, Visa and MasterCard are the most widely used. With these cards and your passport, you can get cash advances at the majority of Bank branches. Nearly every city has access to ATMs.

There is frequent fog during the Christmas season in Northern India, which can cause some flight or train schedules to be affected.

April through June are the country’s sweltering summer months, with temperatures rising practically nationwide. The average daily temperature in May and June is up to 40 degrees Celsius.

With the exception of some areas of South East India, the South West monsoon begins around the beginning of June. The majority of India’s rainfall falls during the months of June and September.

Safety & Security: These are now crucial components of travelling to India. Travellers frequently want to know about safety and security while visiting here. In general, India is typically a safe country. However, petty street crime does happen occasionally, especially in some cities. In larger cities, we advise you to wear as little jewellery as possible and to keep your cash near to your body in a safe area. We also advise you to avoid walking on own at night; instead, use taxis. Carry a hotel card with you in the cab so the driver will know where to take you. Taxis are typically metered and reasonably priced, but make sure the driver engages the metre and is clear on your destination.

On the streets, only bring what is absolutely necessary. If available, place valuables (such as a passport, credit cards, extra cash, and jewellery) in hotel safe deposit boxes.

Additionally, it would be a good idea to make copies of your credit card information, plane tickets, and passport as well as to keep track of your traveller’s checks. These records ought to be stored separately from the originals in a secure location.

We advise you to use particular caution when travelling alone as a woman or in a party of only female travellers, and to only use transportation booked through a Moustache Escapes office or a trustworthy hotel.

Local businesses with an STD/PCO/ISD sign on the outside can be used to make inexpensive international calls. The majority of hotels also provide convenient email and internet services. The majority of popular tourist destinations now have internet cafés.

Excellent GSM phone coverage means that your phone will work practically everywhere in India if you have international roaming enabled.
