10 Things about India That Foreigners Know Before Traveling To India

India is massive, fantastic, and also packed with culture. It's filled with colors, architecture as well as history. The country has unique traditions and offers mouth-watering food.

1. Shopping in India is Costlier than in the USA

Well, taking into consideration the value of the Indian Rupee against that of the US Dollar, it would be quite fair to assume that shopping in India is cost-effective. Nevertheless, fairly ironically, shopping in India can become rather a rough deal.

2. The Traffic is Insane

Believe the hype and the movies that show cars not sticking in the same lanes. In Delhi there are a great lot of stop signs and red as well as green lights, however regardless of the rules no one seems to give a damn as well as nobody seems to be doing anything about it. You cannot pay me to drive in India. Driving in Kashmir and various other cities like Lucknow, Aligarh, and Meerut is also worse. I haven’t seen that many traffic lights and people indicate their turns by honking.

3. Do not have the Street food or water

This is a given. Food is amazing however if you're not used to the street food you're most likely going to get sick. The most of the diseases are likewise water-born so as instead to tap water stick to mineral water or sodas, specifically if you're traveling to smaller villages and towns.

4. Indian festivals

With so many religious beliefs and cultures, you will certainly across fairs, events, as well as merriment of all kinds.

Whether it is the shimmering lights of Diwali, the colors of Holi, the extravaganza of Durga Puja, Navaratri, Onam, Dusshera, Id Ul Fitr and Christmas, you’ll encounter indigenous customs, amazing Indian cuisine, and total festive abandonment.

5. Hands and Feet

There's a whole hierarchy of the body parts in Hinduism. The head is superior to the rest of the body, and the feet are lowest on the rung.

Feet are considered dirty in India, so remove your shoes before you step into someone's residence. Do not tip on anything important and also if you do, immediately express your apologies.

6. Become a expert at bargaining

Do not get intimidated by the fact that you're a foreigner. When going to street market or shops, negotiating is natural in India. In my experience, vendors will certainly often give you a high price first reasoning that you're 'foreign' which you're not going to know it's worth. Offer bargaining a shot. Don't afraid to argued.

7. McDonald's India has a Vegetarian Menu

McDonalds' is a household name in almost every part of the world. As well as yet, not many outside India may have heard of McAloo Tikki or McSpicy Paneer burgers. Well, that’s because these are some of the items available on the popular food chain’s vegetarian menu, an exclusive offering for the Indian market.

8. Arranged Marriages Work Amazingly Well

Generations of happily-married Indian couples are a definite proof of this. The idea of a arranged marriage, which is so common in India, might appear fairly strange to foreigners. Yet to their surprise, they discover that most couples they interact with have had arranged marriages, which last a lifetime.

9. Not Every City is Hot and Humid

Indian summer is legendary for the extremely high temperatures. Travelers visiting throughout this season expect to be soaked in sweat. While that is certainly true for cities like Mumbai, Varanasi, or Chennai, it is not generally applicable. So, much to their awe and alleviation, international travelers locate that many cities like Ooty, Manali, as well as Shimla have a cool weather, also during the hottest of summers.

10. Not All Indian Food is Spicy

Indian food is renowned worldwide for being exceptionally spicy. While many of our dishes do often tend to be hot, there are just as many that are tasty without being seasoned with copious quantity of flavors.
